Furthermore, results showed that mastery level of responding was maintained in both simple and single reversal deictic frames after once training concluded. This research contributes to body of research concerning the training of deictic frames within individuals with developmental disabilities and research concerning the use of training deictic frames using pieces of the PEAK T Curriculum.
