Theses and Dissertations--Early Childhood, Special Education, and Counselor Education

In this study, unknown questions were posed to four high school students with intellectual disabilities, and they were directed to use intelligent voice assistants to mand for the answers. This self-instruction skill was taught using progressive time delay within a multiple probe across participants design with embedded generalization probes. Participants were trained to initiate Siri® or Google Assistant™ before baseline sessions were conducted. The effectiveness of progressive time delay to teach this skill was evaluated when questions were presented by research implementers and when presented by untrained communication partners. Implementers exposed participants to additional voice commands at the end of …

The dependent variables in the study were the effects of behavior skills training on the acquisition of self-instructional skills …


The Effects Of Video Activity Schedules On Life Skills For Individuals With Mild Intellectual Disability, Kaylee A. Ortiz Jan 2017

The Effects Of Video Activity Schedules On Life Skills For Individuals With Mild Intellectual Disability, Kaylee A. Ortiz

Theses and Dissertations--Early Childhood, Special Education, and Counselor Education

This study used a multiple probe across settings design to evaluate the effects of video activity schedules (VidAS) on the acquisition of life skills in various settings within the home. In a technology training phase, participants were taught how to navigate a mobile application and use the pause and play feature of the video using a system of least prompts. In baseline, participants were given a task direction to complete the tasks within each setting with access to a static picture schedule. During intervention, participant task completion was evaluated when self-instructing with the use of VidAS in each setting. One …
