3. This study used a single subject alternating treatment design to compare the effects of embedding distributed trials in a shared story and traditional Discrete Trial Training (Mass Trials) on functional skills acquisition for students with Intellectual Disabilities. The Mass Trial (MT) intervention taught the functional skills in its traditional format (Lovaas, 1987) across 10 trials, in a segregated setting. The distributed trial (DT) intervention differed by embedding the functional skills in a shared story. During the distributed trials intervention each skill was embedded for a total of 10 trials. All intervention sessions were randomized across students and outcomes were compared.
