Using a Personal Digital Assistant to Enhance the Independence of an Adolescent with Asperger Syndrome
Ferguson, Heather; Myles, Brenda Smith; Hagiwara, Taku
Education and Training in Developmental Disabilities, v40 n1 p60-67 Mar 2005
The Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), while in use in the mainstream population, is not generally utilized by individuals with disabilities. Using a multiple-baseline design across settings we tested effectiveness of using a PDA to increase the independence of an adolescent with Asperger Syndrome (AS). Results indicated use of the PDA was effective in decreasing the student's reliance on adults to complete tasks at home and at school. (Contains 4 figures.)
