The present study was designed to develop increased leisure time activity in three institutionalized severely retarded women participating in a sheltered workshop. Initially, the women were withdrawn or engaged in inappropriate social behavior during break time or noon meals. Training methods included manual guidance, modeling, and verbal prompting of clients; social reinforcement was given for appropriate play. The program was evaluated in a multiple baseline across individuals design. Functional effects of the behavior-shaping techniques appeared as action on objects increased substantially over baseline levels in each client. There were slight increases in social interaction of each client and a decrease in stereotypic rocking behavior in one client
