Randall, Kristina N.; Ryan, Joseph B.; Walters, Sharon M.; Stierle, Jordan N. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
Assistive technology (AT) has been shown to be a promising method for supporting individuals with intellectual disability (ID) attain a higher degree of independence both at home and in the work place. The purpose of this alternating-treatment single-case research design study was to compare the effectiveness of three methods (i.e., Notes App,…

Dawson, Kara; Antonenko, Pavlo; Lane, Holly; Zhu, Jiawen – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2019
Individuals with dyslexia face numerous challenges in school and daily life. Although effective intervention may reduce those challenges (Mather & Wendling, 2011; Shaywitz, 2003; Snowling & Hulme, 2012), most individuals with dyslexia benefit from additional supports that allow them to learn and function independently. The term assistive…

A Pilot Investigation of an iOS-Based App for Toilet Training Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Mruzek, Daniel W.; McAleavey, Stephen; Loring, Whitney A.; Butter, Eric; Smith, Tristram; McDonnell, Erin; Levato, Lynne; Aponte, Courtney; Travis, Rebekah P.; Aiello, Rachel E.; Taylor, Cora M.; Wilkins, Jonathan W.; Corbett-Dick, Patricia; Finkelstein, Dianne M.; York, Alyssa M.; Zanibbi, Katherine – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
We developed an iOS-based app with a transmitter/disposable sensor and corresponding manualized intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder. The app signaled the onset of urination, time-stamped accidents for analysis, reminded parents to reinforce intervals of continence, provided a visual outlet for parents to communicate…

Gevarter, Cindy; O'Reilly, Mark F.; Sammarco, Nicolette; Watkins, Laci; Kuhn, Michelle; Sigafoos, Jeff – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2018
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of different speech-generating device displays and vocabulary organizations on the acquisition of multi-step requesting responses in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Four young children with ASD were taught to use an iPad® application to make requests using both a taxonomically…

Xin, Joy F.; Leonard, Deborah A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2015
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of using an iPad to assist students with autism in learning communication skills. Three, 10 years old learners diagnosed with autism who present little or no functional speech, participated in the study. A multiple baseline design with AB phases across academic and social settings was used.…

Meeks, Jamy H. – Georgia Educational Researcher, 2017
With the increase in the number of students diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), it is imperative to determine productive interventions to enhance communication skills. Recent investigations regarding the use of speech generated devices (SGD), such as the Apple iPad, to communicate have been performed with mixed results (Flores,…

Boyd, Tara K.; Hart Barnett, Juliet E.; More, Cori M. – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2015
Mobile technology has introduced a new communication opportunity for students with autism spectrum disorder. Tablets, like the iPad, allow users to customize applications for their needs. Users also have found iPads to be less stigmatizing because so many people own them and use them for various purposes. In the fast-paced world of technology,…
