Augmented Reality To Teach Activities Of Daily Living To Individuals With Intellectual And Developmental Disabilities Who Live Independently, Michael Clinton Morrow
Doctoral Dissertations
Post-secondary educational opportunities continue to grow for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), with many providing options for independent living. This has increased the already high need to teach independent living skills to this population. Complex learning needs within this community of learners often necessitate unique teaching approaches. A single case, multiple probes across behaviors design was used to determine the effectiveness of an augmented reality (AR) video modeling system used on a mobile device as a learning approach. The goal of the study was to help participants living independently learn new skills and to determine the social acceptability …

Effects Of An Electronic Visual Activity Schedule On Independence For A Student With Severe Disability, Ashwag Alghamdi
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study investigated the effects of an electronic visual activity schedule (eVAS; i.e., FIRST THEN Visual Schedule application) paired with the system of least prompts on the latency period and level of independence that a fifth-grade student with Intellectual Disability needed to transition throughout the day. Also investigated were the value that the teacher and student placed on the use of an eVAS to teach daily life and school routines instead of typical instruction (e.g., traditional visual schedule) and the student’s ability to generalize the use of the eVAS across instructors and materials (display). An ABAB single case design was …

The Effects Of Social Skill Training In A Simulated Community Environment For Adolescents With Cognitive Impairments, Jessica Harrison
Theses and Dissertations
The purposes of this investigation were to (a) evaluate the impact of school and classroom-based social skills instruction on student’s social capabilities, and (b) determine if the skills learned in classroom-based instruction can be generated to the school store. Three 9th grade students aged 15-16 participated in the study. They were learning lessons adopted from Talkabout for Teenagers, taught 30 minutes a day, once a week for 12 weeks during social skill training/instruction. An observation chart was used before and after social skill instruction and a total was calculated at the end of each observation session to measure their social …
A Transition Plan For High School Special Education Students, Michael J. Torres
A Transition Plan For High School Special Education Students, Michael J. Torres
All Graduate Projects
The purpose of this project was to develop a transition plan that would facilitate the movement into the post-school setting for high school students with disabilities. Research on the factors that contribute to successful transition plans was examined. A four year transition plan for students with special needs was created that would detail specific requirements for each of the grades 9-12. These requirements would encompass vocational education/training and instruction, community experiences, life skills, functional vocational evaluation and assessment, interagency collaboration, parent involvement, and post-school education. The attainment of these requirements would be demonstrated by a cumulative portfolio.
