Mathewson, Carole

Abstract Details

2010, Master of Arts in Education, Defiance College, Education.
This study used a single-subject Caucasian male from an autistic classroom in a rural Midwest school to determine the benefits of implementing an activity schedule with a student with autism. The purpose of this project was to determine the benefits of implementing an activity schedule with a student with autism. The results of the study showed that the male subject with autism improved in his ability to transition between subjects, display more appropriate behaviors, and improve on his academic scores after consistent use of the activity schedule. Results of this study supported the existing literature on using a picture activity schedule to increase the desirable behaviors, transitional skills, and academic skills of students with autism.
