Abstract Details

2009, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, ED Physical Activities and Educational Services.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of computer-based practice on the acquisition of basic academic skills in children who have moderate to intensive educational needs. Academic concepts were chosen based on Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals and areas of need for each participant, all of whom had multiple disabilities. The computer games were designed by the experimenter to focus on these concepts and provided discrete trials with immediate feedback on each skill addressed. A multiple baseline design across skills was used to compare the effects of computer practice across three skills for each of three participants. Results showed that computer practice was effective in increasing the acquisition and maintenance of targeted academic skills in children who have moderate to intensive educational needs.
