People who have an intellectual disability (ID) often have difficulty learning to type using the traditional ten-finger approach. Typing is an essential skill for present social and educational relevance. The pilot program, ABC Typing Program (ABCTP) was developed and analyzed to determine if a modified typing tutorial program could be effective in teaching students with severe intellectual disabilities typing by eliminating the complex skills required for traditional typing. The effectiveness of ABCTP for increasing typing speed and accuracy was measured using a pretest-posttest design with eight high school students. A student questionnaire was used to determine participants’ satisfaction. The paired t-test analysis results indicated a significant improvement in typing speed. There was no significant improvement in typing accuracy. All participants responded with 100% satisfaction with the program. The findings suggest that ABCTP is effective to teach people with ID typing, an increasingly necessary skill for everyday life.

Background: This preliminary study attempted to address gaps and challenges military parents of a child with a disability experience. Through educational resource dissemination, the study hoped to increase caregiver knowledge of DIR, increase parent confidence for carryover of DIR, and increase satisfaction of OT services within a Pediatric Therapy clinic in Italy serving American military families. Methods: Five parents receiving services at a pediatric therapy clinic based in Italy participated in the pilot study. A pre and post survey was administered assessing parents’ satisfaction, knowledge, and confidence with the Developmental-Individual Difference and Relationship (DIR) Model before and after dissemination of educational resources. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were performed to compare means of the change in satisfaction, knowledge, and confidence and means of the change in parent’s overall scores. Results: One parent demonstrated a clinically significant change in overall results from pre to post. There was not a statistically significant difference between pre and post for the group in satisfaction, knowledge, and confidence. Conclusions: This study was a preliminary attempt to further understand the experience of military parents of a child with a disability as well as increase availability of resources for this underserved and at-risk population. Findings suggest that tailored educational resources were slightly effective in increasing knowledge and provided insight into future research opportunities.
