Introduction
Using a handheld prompting system can help people with moderate and severe intellectual disabilities to independently transition.
Maintain at a 100% level after using the prompting system.

Tools
Handheld computers (PDA, Pocket PC)
Commercial devices
V.S
Custom devices

Participants(1/2)
＊ Wechsler Intelligence for Aaron, Bill and Doug
The Standford Binet for Cate
40 50 48 36 IQ 16 17 17 16 AGE Doug Cate Bill Aaron Name

Participants(2/2)
Moderate to severe intellectual disability
High school program with regularly schedualed community-based instruction
Willingness to participate
No sensory deficits
Parental permission & student’s verbal agreement

Tasks for each student

Correct
transitions occurred after correct of each individual ordered task
Assisted
after receiving a handheld prompt, he or she move to the next task correctly
Data Collection

Experimental Design
A multiple-probe design
Every task was showed up randomly

Experimental Procedures
Pretraining
Baseline
Handheld prompting procedures
Maintenance procedures

Reliability
Interobserver agreement
Ranged 96% to 100%
A mean of 99%
Aaron & Doug 97%, Bill & Cate 100%
Procedural agreement level
Ranged 97% to 100%
A mean of 99%
Aaron 99%, Bill & Doug 100%, Cate 96%

Results(1/2)

Results(2/2)

Limitations
Familiar with the vocational site
Had CBI experiences
No resistant behaviors toward wearing the device
Motivated using the handheld computer

Discussion
How much support is minimal ?
Natural supports become problematic

Future Works
Different type of transitions
Place to place
Preferred to nonpreferred tasks
