Abstract EN
The field of special education has begun to concentrate its efforts on developing objectives and procedural strategies that promote a positive quality of life for students with profound multiple disabilities, while determining which educational strategies are the most appropriate.
A multielement design was used to compare the effects of two educational conditions, academic skills instruction and functional life skills instruction, on the quality of life indicators of four students with profound multiple disabilities.
Results indicated that all four students demonstrated a greater number of behaviors associated with happiness while receiving academic skills instruction.
Implications for current educational practices are addressed and directions for future research are discussed.
