Objective: This social work research evaluates the effectiveness of an advanced, experimental treatment program for improving social skills with 6 developmentally disabled adults in a vocational training project. Method: The effectiveness of the group treatment programwas evaluated using multiple baseline designs replicated for 6 participants across six social skills. The intervention was developed in a previous study, and the skills were selected using a needs assessment. Results: Results were mixed, and treatment gains from baseline to treatment phases were inconsistent across skills and participants. A 1-year follow-up assessment revealed that posttreatment skill levels were usually maintained. Conclusions: These results only partially support the effectiveness of the group treatment program.Possible explanations for this conclusion are given, and clinical implications for social workers are discussed.
