Cooperative task performance and preferences of people with multiple disabilities

This study assessed whether four adults with multiple disabilities would su ccessfully acquire cooperative task performance (the ability to work in dya ds) and would prefer this over individual task performance. Analysis indica ted that the dyads reached levels of correct responding identical to those displayed on individual performance. Moreover, all four participants prefer red the cooperative performance. These findings, which match those of a pri or pilot work by Lancioni, O'Reilly, and Oliva, were discussed in terms of their practical implications for rehabilitation and occupational contexts.
