Abstract

This study used a multiple probe across participants design to (a) evaluate the use of a mobile device (i.e., iPad) for video modeling to increase functional daily living skills and (b) evaluate the use of system of least prompts to teach students to self-instruct. In baseline, the classroom teacher asked participants to start their tasks and collected performance data. In the technology training condition, the teacher implemented a system of least prompts procedure to teach participants to initiate use of the iPad, navigate to a training video model, pause/play videos of training tasks, and perform the modeled training tasks. After meeting criterion in technology training, the classroom teacher evaluated participant performance of novel tasks following a video model on the iPad. The primary dependent variable was the percentage of task analysis steps completed independently during both training and novel activities. A secondary dependent variable measured participants’ ability to navigate the iPad to self-instruct independently.
