Abstract

Using a pre-post intervention design, this study aims to evaluate the use of total-task presentation technique in a training program to develop the self-drinking skill of a 9-year-old male child who features autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with intellectual impairment. This study consists of three phases, including baseline, intervention, and follow-up phase. The baseline phase consists of six trials in two days. The intervention program consisted of five trials on each session and was conducted every lunchtime for 45 - 60 min. The intervention program involved six stages and was completed in seven days at the subject’s home. Thus, in total, the intervention program consisted of 35 trials in seven days. Follow-up data were obtained one and two weeks after concluding the intervention program. The follow-up consisted of six trials in two days. To examine the program’s effectiveness, baseline and follow-up results were compared using four features of visual analysis. Results showed the increase in behavior mastered in the chain of behavior. The subject performed 20 out of 21 steps of the behavior in the follow-up phase without any prompts and could perform 6 in the baseline phase. In this case, results indicate that total-task presentation technique can improve mastery of self-drinking skill of a child with ASD with intellectual impairment.
