Abstract Details

Video prompting has been demonstrated to be an effective method of teaching new skills to individuals with intellectual disabilities. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of using video prompting with or without error correction delivered via an Apple iPod Touch on the acquisition of vocational tasks for three individuals with intellectual disabilities. The participants were selected through teacher nomination and the two targeted vocational tasks were determined based upon equivalence of difficulty and teacher suggestion. The tasks selected were dust mopping and wet mopping. Both tasks required the use of standard janitorial equipment and were performed within the hallways of the participants’ school. A multiple probe combined with an adapted alternating treatments design was used to assess the level of skill acquisition for each of the two tasks. Results showed that for two participants, the acquisition of skills was equal under both conditions, and was slightly better in the absence of the error correction procedure for the remaining participant.
