Abstract
This study describes the use of self-management procedures, similar to those proposed by Lagomarcino, Hughes, and Rusch (1989), to improve t he productivity of 2 women with mild mental retardation who worked in restaurants. Substantial improvements were observed as a function of t reatment, and the procedures were deemed acceptable by the participant s, their coworkers, and their supervisors.
