This study assessed the possibility of training two individuals with cognitive impairments using location-based task prompting system in a supported employment program. This study was carried out according to an ABAB sequence in which A represented the baseline and B represented intervention phases. Data showed that the two participants significantly increased their target response, thus improving vocational job performance during the intervention phases. Practical and developmental implications of the findings are discussed. (Contains 2 figures and 1 table.)
