Using System of Least Prompts Delivered via Remote Instruction to Teach Nutrition Education to Students with Intellectual Disability
Brianna Grumstrup; MaryAnn Demchak
Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, v59 n1 p17-29 2024
Research indicates knowledge about balanced meals is an important skill for adolescents with intellectual and multiple disabilities (Alqahtani & Schoenfeld, 2014; Pember & Knowlden, 2017). This multiple probe design study utilized the system of least prompts (SLP) to teach nutrition education via remote instruction. Participants were four high school students with intellectual disability (ID). The dependent variable was identifying the food representing the missing food group when presented with a digital slide of four foods (each food representing a different food group). Results indicate the SLP was effective in teaching all participants to choose the missing food and building balanced "meals." All participants mastered the skill and two maintained skills at follow up.
