Report Summarizes Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities Study Findings from Michigan State University (Learning To Make Change Via Virtual Money Manipulative, System of Least Prompts, and Modeling Online).

A report from Michigan State University discusses a study on individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) learning to make change with coins. The study used online instruction and provided students with a virtual money manipulative, modeling, and the system of least prompts. The results showed that the intervention package was effective in improving the students' accuracy and independence in completing task analysis steps. However, the study did not examine the generalization of these skills to real-life experiences. This research has been peer-reviewed and can be accessed through the provided DOI.
