The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a high‐probability request sequence on the latency to and duration of compliance to a request for completion of an independent math assignment. The participant was an elementary‐school student with learning disabilities who exhibited noncompliance during math instruction. The results showed that high‐probability requests were effective in reducing the latency to compliance but only minimally affected duration of engagement.
