Abstract

Lay abstract: Self-determination encompasses various components, including decision-making and independence, making it a complex process. While the importance of self-determination for individuals with autism spectrum disorder has been explored in previous studies, there is limited research focusing on individuals with moderate to severe autism spectrum disorder. Evidence-based practices such as visual activity schedules and video modeling have shown effectiveness in promoting independence among individuals with autism spectrum disorder. To address the need for independence and choice-making among individuals with moderate to severe autism spectrum disorder, this study developed a visual support package incorporating visual activity schedules, video modeling, preference assessments, and prompt procedures. By investigating the intervention's effectiveness in three participants, this study contributes to the existing literature on the use of a visual activity schedule and video modeling in enhancing choice-making and independent leisure engagement. Following the intervention, all participants were able to select three leisure activities, develop their own visual schedules, and complete them. Notably, this study conducted preference assessments to determine participants' preferred leisure activities and did not provide additional reinforcement. Practical implications of this research include incorporating video prompting as needed and adjusting activity engagement time. Future research should explore the long-term effectiveness of the visual support package and its application in developing novel skills or vocational activities for individuals with moderate to severe autism spectrum disorder. This study fills a critical gap in the literature, providing important insights for practices and research in the field of autism spectrum disorder interventions.

使用视觉支持包促进台湾中重度自闭症患者独立参与休闲活动和做出选择。
内容提要:自决包括决策和独立等多个方面,是一个复杂的过程。虽然以往的研究已经探讨了自我决定对自闭症谱系障碍患者的重要性,但针对中重度自闭症谱系障碍患者的研究却十分有限。以证据为基础的实践,如视觉活动时间表和视频建模,在促进自闭症谱系障碍患者的独立性方面显示出了有效性。为了满足中重度自闭症谱系障碍患者对独立性和选择能力的需求,本研究开发了一套视觉支持方案,其中包含视觉活动时间表、视频建模、偏好评估和提示程序。通过对三名参与者的干预效果进行调查,本研究对现有文献中关于使用可视化活动时间表和视频建模来提高选择能力和独立休闲参与度的研究有所贡献。干预结束后,所有参与者都能选择三项休闲活动,制定自己的可视化时间表,并完成它们。值得注意的是,本研究通过偏好评估来确定参与者偏好的休闲活动,并没有提供额外的强化措施。这项研究的实际意义包括根据需要加入视频提示和调整活动参与时间。未来的研究应该探索视觉支持包的长期有效性,以及它在开发中重度自闭症谱系障碍患者的新技能或职业活动中的应用。这项研究填补了文献中的一个重要空白,为自闭症谱系障碍干预领域的实践和研究提供了重要启示。
