Results showed no clear pattern any subjects; however, Subjects 3 4 moved along graded­ choice continuum two during sessions, indicating ofmastery these symbols. No generalization exhibited However, all decrease cuing sessions. While significant results achieved, limited lend support autism. EFFECTIVENESS OF ERRORLESS LEARNING Table
