The single-subject multiple-probe design across behaviors was adopted in this study. Subjects were five EBDs with schizophrenia or mood disorders from Taipei City Psychiatric Center. Experiment lasted for eleven weeks, three times a week. Data were presented by graphic method and analyzed by using visual analysis method. Three instruments were self-edited " Social Skills Observation Checklists ", "Social Skills Improvement Scale "rated by the teachers and subjects, and " DI satisfaction inventory". The main findings were as follows: 1. The visual analysis of the graphic data to the multiple-probe design demonstrated DI could increase five EBDs whole social skill performances, especially on peer-related social skills. Results showed that three of five EBDs who participated in all experiment performed better than the others. 2. The feedback from teachers differed from different social skill areas. Teachers all agreed the effects on peer-related social skill area were the best, but both self-related and specific situation social skills areas were not so significant. 3. From the self-rated scale by three EBDs who participated in whole experiment, the effects of social skills improvement were supported highly. 4. Also the three EBDs were satisfied with all facets of DI and had positive attitudes toward their performances. Recommendations for the intervention and further studies were made based on the results and limitations of this study.
