The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of a Personal Digital Assistant with multiple prompt levels to increase completion of novel task boxes and transitioning within and between tasks. The study used a multiple probe design across three sets of task boxes replicated with three students with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. Results indicated that: task completion was higher for two of the students compared to baseline conditions using a picture-based task strip; all students were able to complete a greater number of between task transitions using the PDA; students performed within task transitions equally as well using the PDA and the task strip; and one student began to self-fade use of more intrusive prompt levels.
本研究旨在评估使用具有多个提示级别的个人数字助理（PDA）来增加新颖任务盒的完成情况和在任务内及任务间的过渡。该研究采用了跨三个任务盒组的多个探针设计，对三个被诊断为自闭症谱系障碍的学生进行了复制。结果表明：与使用基于图片的任务条的基线条件相比，有两名学生的任务完成情况更高；所有学生使用 PDA 完成的任务间过渡次数更多；学生使用 PDA 和任务条在任务内过渡的表现同样出色；一名学生开始逐渐减少使用更具侵入性的提示级别。
