UNASSIGNED: Self-instruction using videos or other supports on a mobile device is a pivotal skill and can increase independence for individuals with disabilities by decreasing a need for adult supports. This study evaluated the effects of @entity1054 ( @entity1054 ) to teach four adolescents with @entity2438 and @entity717 how to initiate self-instruction in the presence of a task direction for an untrained task. @entity1 were screened for imitating video models prior to the study and were taught to navigate to videos on an iPhone(  ) in history training. A multiple probe design across settings embedded in a multiple probe design across @entity1 was used to evaluate the effects of @entity1054 on initiation of self-instruction. All @entity1 learned to self-instruct. Two @entity1 generalized self-instruction to two novel settings. Two @entity1 required instruction in two settings before generalizing to the third. Three @entity1 generalized self-instruction in the presence of a task direction from the researcher to a task direction from their classroom teacher in all three settings. One @entity1 generalized to a task direction presented by the classroom teacher in one setting, but not in the other two. All @entity1 maintained self-instruction behaviors assessed 1  week after all @entity1 met criteria in all settings. Self-instruction using videos or other supports on a mobile device is a pivotal skill and can increase independence for individuals with disabilities by decreasing a need for adult supports.
