Abstract/Summary

This study investigated the use of two established evidence-based practices, namely visual activity schedule and system of least prompting, in the acquisition of laundry skills of a young adult diagnosed with down syndrome and suspected of having an intellectual disability. Training sessions occurred in both face-to-face and online learning modalities. Results showed that the combination of VAS and SLP supported the participant in acquiring the laundry skill by analyzing the average acquisition skill, the trend of the line graph, and variability. The participant demonstrated an increased independent task performance using the individualized VAS. Relatives living with the participant also suggested that VAS with SLP was beneficial and effective in acquiring and learning new skills and decreasing adult supervision in task completion.
