| Popis: | 103 Weak perceptual-motor ability is significant problem for students with learning disabilities. The main purpose of this study was to investigate whether the combination of dance pad with environmental stimuli could help the student with nonverbal learning disabilities and the students with verbal learning disabilities to improve their perceptual-motor abilities. This technique was made by following procedures: 1) Target behavior was displayed on the computer screen to display target behavior; then, the experimental subjects are ordered to complete the target on dance pad as environmental stimuli switch; 2) Upon completion of the target behavior, the subjects can watch favorite movie which can cause subjects’ motivation and enhance the subjects of perceptual-motor effect. The experimental design of this study was based on an ABAB design. The study consisted of four phases, including: baseline phase (A1), and the first time intervention phase (B1), and withdrawal and inverted back phase (A2), and the second intervention phase (B2). For the student with nonverbal learning disabilities (subject A), data showed that the average of target get responses within three minutes was 11.7 responses in A1 phase, 16.7 responses in B1 phase, 14.3 responses in A2 phase, and then 19.4 responses in B2 phase. For first student with verbal learning disability (subject B), the average of target get responses within three minutes was 10.3 responses in A1 phase, 19.1 responses in B1 phase, 17.3 responses in A2 phase, and then 21.4 responses in B2 phase. For second student with verbal learning disability (Subject C), the average of target get responses within three minutes of was 0 responses in A1 phase, 12.1 responses in B1 phase, 12.7 responses in A2 phase, and then 14.9 responses in B2 phase. The experimental results showed that such technique significantly improve the perceptual-motor ability for all of participants from the baseline to the first time intervention phase and inverted back to the second intervention phase (p |
