Individuals with disabilities who move from one day program to another frequently show decreases in social adaption. Peter had four weeks of transition while James had none. After one month in the new program, James showed a 99% decrease in targeted behaviors and Peter a 100% decrease. Is a long transition necessary to move smoothly from one day setting to another?
