Digital activity schedules using Google Slides effectively teach individuals with autism and developmental disabilities to follow activity sequences. This technology-based approach can be implemented via telehealth, empowering parents to support their children's learning.
Area of Science:
- Behavioral Science
- Developmental Disabilities
- Assistive Technology
Background:
- Photographic activity schedules are effective for teaching activity sequences to individuals with autism and developmental disabilities.
- Traditional activity schedules use static, printed pictures, but technology-based alternatives are emerging.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a task analysis for creating digital activity schedules using Google Slides.
- To offer guidance for behavior analysts training parents in using this technology via telehealth.
Main Methods:
- Developed a task analysis for creating simple and complex digital activity schedules.
- Utilized Google Slides, a web-based platform accessible across various devices.
- Outlined telehealth procedures for parent training.
Main Results:
- Google Slides can be used to create effective digital activity schedules.
- Telehealth is a viable method for training parents to implement these schedules.
Conclusions:
- Digital activity schedules offer a flexible and accessible alternative to traditional methods.
- Google Slides and telehealth provide a scalable solution for supporting individuals with developmental disabilities.
