“…Users with disabilities who use mobile health apps have described challenges and concerns about universal design and the need for additional support [11]. For adults with IDD, technology use with the addition of self-management strategies like goal setting, self-monitoring, and visual support interventions has been promising in promoting behavior change in other behaviors such as academic, exercise, and work-related tasks [12][13][14][15].…”

While there are many benefits to healthy nutrition, adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities often have poor nutrition habits. Identifying effective practices to promote healthy nutrition for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities is critical. The purpose of this study was to examine the use of a health app and self-management intervention in supporting adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in making healthier nutrition choices. A changing criterion single-case research design was used with three adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to determine if there was a functional relation between a health app and self-management intervention, and the number of healthy food and drink items purchased when grocery shopping. The combination of the health app with self-management intervention was effective in increasing the number of healthy food and drink items two participants bought at the grocery store. Participants reported that they enjoyed using the app, scanning food and drink items was fun, and the goal-setting and self-monitoring components were easy to understand. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) might demonstrate impairments in initiating and sustaining a conversation and experience conversational challenges such as question-asking and turn-taking. Conversational skills are pivotal for the social functioning of adolescents with ASD. The current investigation aimed to extend the available information on interventions addressing the conversational needs of adolescents with ASD. The research questions were: (a) What is the effect of self-monitoring, supplemented by a video-based model on the conversational skills of adolescent students with ASD? and (b) What is the acceptability of the intervention among the participating adolescents with ASD?. Appropriate conversational behavior of three students with ASD (aged 16–18 years) was assessed using a withdrawal design, during 10-min conversation sessions. Appropriate conversational behavior was defined as a sequence of a turn-taking response (i.e., waiting quietly until the speaker finished talking), followed by a verbal utterance which included (a) making a statement or responding on topic, and/or (b) asking a contextually appropriate “wh”- question. The independent variable consisted of a primary self-monitoring procedure and a daily video-based supplement. Treatment fidelity and treatment acceptability were also assessed. The conversational behavior of all participants consistently improved under the self-monitoring intervention with the video-based supplement. Self-monitoring with a video-based supplement can effectively support the conversational behavior in adolescents with ASD. This information can guide the evaluation and planning of appropriate interventions designed to improve limited conversational behaviors of adolescents with ASD.

<p style="text-align: justify;">The use of visual support methods is recognized as an effective strategy for helping children and adults with developmental disabilities. In autism spectrum disorders visual methods aimed to work with the main difficulties reducing the quality of life: problems of communication, development of academic and social skills, problem behavior. The task of summarizing the results of visual support studies is topical. This review discusses modern foreign and Russian studies on the use of visual support in the educational and the psychological practice. The age composition of the sample, the design of the studies, the types of visual support used the context in which it was used and the tasks it was designed to solve are analyzed: learning disabilities, challenging behavior, communication.</p>
