Abstract Details

2020, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, EDU Physical Activity and Educational Services.
This dissertation explores the theme of vocational instruction using visual supports for students with severe disabilities. It consists of a brief introduction, three stand-alone papers, and a research statement. Chapter 1 presents brief background information to introduce the research questions posed in Chapters 2 and 3. Chapter 2 provides a systematic review of the literature on using visual supports to teach vocational skills to students with intellectual disabilities. Chapter 3 presents a research study that evaluated and compared the effects of two types of visual supports, video prompts and picture prompts, on the vocational performance of four students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Chapter 4 is a practitioner paper that draws on the findings of Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 to provide recommendations using visual supports in the workplace. Finally, Chapter 5 provides a research statement that discusses the place of this dissertation in my work and future directions for my research.
