Students with severe handicaps are acquiring safety behaviors through the implementation of systematic instruction. Absent from this instruction is the inclusion of generalization strategies. Included in this article is a procedure for selecting representative teaching examples to promote optimal generalization. This procedure is referred to as general case programming. The steps of this strategy are delineated using an example of applying an adhesive bandage to a cut.
