Computer-Based Video Instruction to Teach Young Adults with Moderate Intellectual Disabilities to Perform Multiple Step, Job Tasks in a Generalized Setting

University of North Carolina Wilmington Abstract: This study evaluated the effectiveness of computer-based video instruction (CBVI) to teach three young adults with moderate intellectual disabilities to perform complex, multiple step, job tasks in a generalized setting. A multiple probe design across three job tasks and replicated across three students was used to evaluate the effectiveness of CBVI to teach job skills. All instructional sessions occurred through simulation that combined the technologies of video and computer-based instruction. Generalization of skills was assessed at the actual job site. Results indicate that CBVI was effective in teaching generalized, multi-step job tasks which were maintained over time.
