The Use of Auditory Prompting Systems for Increasing Independent Performance of Students with Autism in Employment Training
Montgomery, Joyce; Storey, Keith; Post, Michal; Lemley, Jacky
International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, v34 n4 p330-335 Dec 2011
In this study a self-operated auditory prompting system is introduced to determine if it can increase the on-task behavior for two students with autism participating in an employment training program. In addition, the amount of prompts provided by support staff is measured. The self-operated auditory prompting system consisted of tape recordings of music interspersed with prompts of self-evaluation and encouragement related to the job tasks being performed in the employment setting. The results of the study indicated a potential positive relationship between the self-operated auditory prompting system and the on-task behavior of the participants as well as a positive relationship between the decreased amounts of prompts used by support staff.
