The Effect of Computer Aided Video Instruction in Teaching Money Withdrawal Skill from ATM to Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities

The purpose of this research is to examine whether computer aided video instruction (CAVI) is effective in teaching of money withdrawal skill from ATM cash machine to individualas with intellectual disabilities. For this purpose, the ability to withdraw money from the ATM was taught by CAVI, which was prepared for three individuals with intellectual disabilities. Three individuals, aged 16, participated in the study with mild intellectual disabilities. In the research, a single subject research method with multiple probe design with probe conditions across subjects was used. Individuals with intellectual disabilities were assessed for their ability to withdraw money from the ATM by means of CAVI and the degree of untargeted knowledge acquisition. The findings of the study show that CAVI is effective in gaining the skill to withdraw money from the ATM for individuals with mild intellectual disabilitiy. In addition, after completion of the instruction, the students continued to exhibit their acquired skill and this skill was generalized to different ATMs, debit cards, different amounts of money and different passwords. Findings related to the level of untargeted knowledge acquisition provided by CAVI have showed that individuals participating in the research received untargeted information. The social validity findings of the study showed that the opinions of individuals about teaching cash withdrawal skills from ATMs through CAVI were positive.
