Individuals with disabilities who require augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems (e.g., computerized voice-output systems, communication boards, signs) face considerable problems in their educational, vocational, and living situations. These problems are made all the more difficult by their significant communication disabilities. Unfortunately, problem solving instruction may not be included in educational curricula. Current problem solving programs do not address the unique needs of individuals who use AAC in terms of instructional content and instructional format. To address this gap in instruction, the current study implemented a single-subject multiple probe across subjects design to investigate the effects of an online instructional program to teach problem solving to adolescents and young adults who use AAC. The participants were taught to: (a) describe the problem, (b) outline lots of ways to solve the problem, (c) identify the outcomes of the top two ways, and (d) take action with the best solution. All five participants (ages 18--20) successfully completed the program and learned to implement the elements of effective problem solving in their solutions to hypothetical problems with at least 80% accuracy after instruction. Further, participants demonstrated evidence they could generalize the strategy to problems they reported from their own lives and that they could maintain their skills in implementing the strategy at least 2 months after the instructional program was completed. Results, clinical/educational implications, limitations, and future research directions are discussed.
