PromptingVisual AssistantFrequently children with autism and other intellectual disabilities are over prompted or become promptdependent. Ablelink Technologies developed a tool to move the person with disability to a moreindependent level. The Spring 2005 issue of JSET (Journal of Special Education Technology) will havean article written by Laura A. Riffel et. al regarding the use of the Visual Assistant for older studentsworking on job sites.Visual Assistant provides powerful task prompting support by including digital pictures along withcustom recorded audio messages to provide step-by-step instructional support. This allows caregiversto set up instructional tasks by recording instructions and incorporating pictures of each step -preferably of the user performing the step in the real-world environment - to provide multi-modal cuesfor task completion. Visual Assistant is ideal for more complex or detailed tasks where the addition ofa picture can increase accuracy. Includes three simplified playback modes to access step-by-stepinstructions; Play Only, Play/Done, and To Do List. A digital camera is included in the Turnkey solution.PRICE: $1,499.00www.ablelinktech.comType of PromptingA colleague recently visited Japan and discovered something unique about prompts. Typically inAmerica, children are physically prompted with light strokes and soft words. In a special school forchildren with autism in Japan, this colleague noticed that the children were poked with a non-physicallyappealing poke. It was not an aversively “hard” poke; however, it was not an enjoyable soft poke. Somechildren like soft strokes and actually crave the sensory input; therefore, they may lag behind just toreceive the sensory input. In Japan, even the para-professionals who work with the children wearblack jumpsuits and refrain from talking. Their total focus is to keep the child focused on what theteacher is requesting. Oddly enough most of the children with autism who enter their school have lessautistic tendencies when they leave the school. The children are focused on the teacher and they arecompliant with requests.Since children with autism typically do not like to be touched this makes perfect sense that they woulddo anything asked to avoid a “prickly” feeling over a “velvety” feeling. (My comparison of the types ofprompts.) The caution here is to ensure that your prompts are not enabling the child to become promptdependent because it is the type of sensory input they are looking for in their day.Positive Interventions and Effective Strategies Riffel -© 2005 - 81 -
