Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 58 (February 2019) . - p.54-67 Titre : Enhancing daily living skills in four adults with autism spectrum disorder through an embodied digital technology-mediated intervention Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Patricia PÉREZ-FUSTER, Auteur ; Javier SEVILLA, Auteur ; Gerardo HERRERA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.54-67 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Intellectual disability  Embodied digital technology  Intervention  Daily living skills  Picture-prompting Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The acquisition of daily living skills is fundamental in the education of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), especially of those with Intellectual Disability (ID), because this can significantly contribute to their autonomy, self-confidence and overall life satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of an embodied Digital Technology (DT)-mediated intervention, compared to a Treatment-As-Usual (TAU) intervention, for enhancing two daily living skills: washing dishes and doing laundry. Method Four males of between 25 and 37 years old with ASD and ID participated in the study. The two interventions were based on audio and picture prompting instructional techniques aimed at helping participants to off-load cognitive work onto the environment. The DT-mediated intervention consisted of the use of a tablet connected to a lighting system. The TAU intervention consisted of the use of paper-based pictures and task strips. A reversal single-subject experimental design across participants was conducted in a day centre. Results Data showed that the DT-mediated intervention was more effective than the TAU intervention in reducing the number of educator prompts given to three of the four participants, and for diminishing the number of off-task behaviours showed by all participants during the performance of the activities. Conclusions A novel DT-mediated intervention effectively enhanced participants’ daily living skills. The major novel contribution of this work is to show that the use of a handheld device connected to a lighting system can be an effective method for the interaction and embodiment of people with ASD and ID in a real-world setting.

Using Tic-Tac software to reduce anxiety-related behaviour in adults with autism and learning difficulties during waiting periods: A pilot study / Cristina CAMPILLO in Autism, 18-3 (April 2014)

This pilot study evaluated the efficacy of the use of the software tool Tic-Tac, designed to make time visual, in three adults with autism and learning difficulties. This research focused on applying the tool in waiting situations where the participants exhibited anxiety-related behaviour. The intervention followed a baseline and intervention (AB) design, and a partial interval recording procedure was used to code the presence of stereotypes, nervous utterances, wandering or other examples of nervousness during the selected waiting situations. The results showed that the use of Tic-Tac resulted in lower levels of anxiety-related behaviour in all three participants, compared to the baseline, suggesting that this software may be an effective technology for helping people with autism with organisation and predictability during waiting periods. The results are discussed in terms of limitations and implications for further study.
