THE ONE-MORE-THAN TECHNIQUE AS A STRATEGY FOR COUNTING MONEY FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH MODERATE MENTAL-RETARDATION

Two studies were conducted investigating the effects of teaching the O ne-More-Than money counting technique to individuals with moderate men tal retardation. Experiment 1 involved two adults working in the commu nity receiving long-term, supported employment services. Experiment 2 included three students in a community-based training program. Togethe r, the results indicated the effectiveness of the One-More-Than techni que in producing money counting skills that generalized to non-trained amounts and making community purchases. Future research needs and a ' 'say-back'' modification for establishing stimulus control for dollar amounts are discussed.
