  • Title: Using tablet assisted Social Stories™ to improve classroom behavior for adolescents with intellectual disabilities.
    Author: Kim MS, Blair KS, Lim KW.
    Journal: Res Dev Disabil; 2014 Sep; 35(9):2241-51. PubMed ID: 24927518.
    Abstract:
    The present study examined the use of tablet assisted Social Stories™ intervention for three high school students with severe intellectual disabilities whose problem behavior interfered with their learning and caused classroom disruptions. A multiple probe design across participants was employed to test the impact of the tablet assisted SS on the participants' target behaviors. During intervention, the participants read the Social Stories that were created on Prezi and accessed via Quick Response (QR) codes using a Galaxy Tap smart tablet before participating in an academic period. Data indicated that the SS intervention decreased disruptive behavior and increased academic engagement in all three participants. All three demonstrated generalization of behaviors to a nontargeted academic period and maintenance of improved behaviors at the 2-week follow-up.
