N2 - Abstract Training in social skills was given to 4 14–20 yr old blind, unassertive females (WISC-R IQs 73–86). Behaviors requiring modification were identified for each S by rating videotapes of role-played interactions. Training consisted of instructions, feedback, behavioral rehearsal, modeling, and manual guidance. Behaviors were treated sequentially and cumulatively in a multiple baseline format. The treatment was generally effective in that most behaviors selected for modification changed markedly. However, a follow-up after 4 wks indicated a decrease in some responses. "Booster" sessions were used to facilitate return to posttreatment levels. Follow-ups after 8 and 10 wks showed that this goal had been reached.
