Students With Intellectual Disabilities

The aim of this research was to study the effectiveness of teaching with the simultaneous prompting in teaching students with intellectual disabilities attending the vocational education center and their ability to fold towels. Multiple baseline models with inter-subject probe stage, which is one of the single-subject research methods, has been used. The subjects of the research are three students, one female and two males, between the ages of 16-18. The dependent variable of the study was determined as the ability to fold the towel and the independent variable as the teaching with the simultaneous prompting using the physical prompt as a model + verbal prompt and error correction. In the study, inter-observer reliability and procedural reliability data were collected. Graphical analysis was used to determine the effectiveness of teaching with the simultaneous prompting. According to the findings obtained from the research, simultaneous prompting teaching is effective in teaching students with intellectual disabilities the ability to fold towels. It has been observed that the skill of folding towels into shapes continues to last two, three, and four weeks after the end of the education and that the subjects can generalize the skill in different types of towels.

Multiple Probe

The purpose of this study is to determine whether video modeling is effective in teaching computer skills to students with intellectual disabilities. The study was designed with the multiple probe design across subjects, one of the single-subject research designs. The study was conducted with three female students with intellectual disabilities, who were 17–19 years old. Graphical analysis was used to analyze the data. The results show that video modeling was effective for them to acquire and retain skills for preparing a résumé, printing it out, and emailing it. However, the students had difficulties generalizing some of the skills on different computers and printers. It can be said that the reason for this originates from different designs of technological tools. In line with this, it is thought that removing the accessibility barrier in technological equipment will increase availability. The video modeling motivated students to learn computer skills. The participants reported that they could use these skills to do homework, apply for a job, and communicate with friends.

In the current investigation, we evaluated the effectiveness of a multi-component package (i.e., robot, simultaneous prompting, self-graphing) for teaching three students, ages 19–21, with intellectual disabilities (ID) to write text messages that included a greeting, personal narrative, and closing. Data suggest that the package was effective in increasing correct performance for all participants. In addition, participants demonstrated their newly acquired texting skills across different communicative partners.

In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of the Simultaneous Prompting (SP) package jointly with the systematic review and corrective feedback in teaching a student with poor performance in mathematics to recall the multiplication facts. One of the single subject designs, the multiple probes design across behaviors (sets) is used in this study. The participant is an 11 years old female student at the 6th grade who has not been diagnosed with any disability but has been getting support because of her poor performance in mathematics than her peers. The dependent variable of this study is the skill of recall multiplication facts with the sets of 3, 5 and 8. The independent variable of the study is the SP package jointly with the systematic review and corrective feedback. Results show that the SP was effective in teaching the student with low mathematical performance to the skill of recall the multiplication facts. The student generalized the learned multiplication facts to another teacher and different setting and maintained her performance on the 15th and 45th days following the systematic reviews. Considering the findings of social validity, it has been determined that the teacher presented positive opinions, as she became happy with that achievement and the method is a way, which can be adopted and implemented by all teachers. These results indicate the acceptability of the SP package and results of the study are highly meaningful. Implications and future research needs are discussed.

Psychotherapy Program

This study seeks to evaluate the efficacy of Art Psychotherapy as a treatment for children who have been exposed to trauma to decrease symptoms and the negative impacts on their social and psychological development. Thus, this mixed-method research closely documents the effects of an art psychotherapy program in Brazil in the treatment of 3 children, aged 9 years old, who have experienced trauma. Treatment effects were evaluated through a single-subject research design in a multiple baseline across participants design to quantitatively document change. Qualitatively, artwork progress is analyzed as well as parental and therapist’s evaluations. Results show that contingent on art psychotherapy implementation, targeted maladaptive behaviors decreased in frequency as compared to baseline, which was also reflected in their artwork. This study is aligned with previous work in the efficacy of art psychotherapy field and adds quantitative data to supports its use in the treatment of children with PTSD.
