Abstract
An important area in the learning and development of individuals with disabilities is the acquisition of independent, age‐appropriate leisure skills. Three adults with autism and mental retardation were taught to access specific Internet sites using backward chaining and most‐to‐least intrusive prompting. The number of independent steps completed in the task analysis increased following training.
