For the teaching of simultaneous prompting procedure and mobility skills of the instructive siblings practice, generalization and follow-up sessions are conducted. In accordance with this information, reliability data about the instructive siblings is gathered. Moreover, for the mobility skills, the efficient performance of the learning siblings is gathered. Furthermore social validity data and inter observer validity data which is taken from mothers, learning and instructive siblings are shown in the study. According to the results, it is seen that the procedure of simultaneous prompting on the instructive siblings' mobility skills is effective. In addition to this, the procedure of simultaneous prompting is generalized for different mobility skills.
