Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study examined the effect of the portable projector stimulus prompt strategy on wiping desk performance of an elementary-aged student with autism spectrum disorder whose social age was 1 year 8 months. In the strategy the student's favorite character was projected on the surface of the desk. The projected character, which was related to germ, was blown out contingent on engaging in wiping tasks. A multiple-treatment design revealed that the portable projector stimulus prompt strategy enhanced the student's wiping skills. Additionally, the student showed more positive affects and less task refusal behaviors during the intervention condition.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

知的障害特別支援学校において、様々な用途に利用できる身近なツールとしてのポータブルプロジェクターを用い、子供にとって人気のある、ばい菌や汚れにかかわりのあるキャラクターを机上に映し出すことで、それを「拭き」飛ばそうとする行動が子供から引き出されることが示された。この手法は、拭き掃除だけでなく、掃き掃除にも応用できる可能性がある。
