Description

The present study examined effects of picture activity schedules on the smoothness and spontaneity of transitions between activities by a child with autism. The participant was a boy 5 years old at the start of the study, who had been diagnosed as having autism. The boy strongly refused unfamiliar stimuli, as well as refusing to shift activities, especially when the shift was to an activity he did not prefer. Using graduated guidance procedures, he was taught to use picture activity schedules. The training was done in a consultation room at the university. After that, the picture activity schedules were gradually changed to more useful ones. Following this training, the boy acquired the skills of using activity schedules written in words and of controlling his free time by using a digital timer. Effects of the picture activity schedules generalized to his home. The results with this 5-year-old boy suggest the possibility that the independence of people with autism may be promoted by self-management with support.
