Multimedia Computer-Based Instruction to Teach Students with Moderate Intellectual Disabilities to Use a Debit Card to Make Purchases
Mechling, Linda C.; Gast, David L.; Barthold, Stefane'
Exceptionality, v11 n4 p239-254 2003
This study investigated the effectiveness of a multimedia program (interactive computer program, video captions, and still photographs) to teach 3 students with moderate intellectual disabilities to make purchases using a debit card and an automated payment machine (APM). A multiple probe design across participants was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the multimedia program. All instructional sessions occurred through simulations using video captions and still photographs replicating operation of the APM. Generalization of skills was assessed through purchasing at community stores. Results indicate that the multimedia program alone was effective in teaching generalized operation of APMs with a debit card.
