Multistep tasks refer to activities of daily living that require a sequence of actions to be performed (e.g., preparing a sandwich). Engaging persons with intellectual disabilities in such tasks is an important educational goal, but these persons may find it difficult to independently execute the correct sequence of steps necessary to perform the intended activity. In this proof-of-concept study, we evaluated the usability of a web application running on a mobile device to enable three young adults with intellectual and motor disabilities to independently complete multistep tasks. The results of this study provide preliminary evidence about the overall usability of the web application for persons with disability and their caregivers. Future studies may build on current evidence to prove the overall effectiveness of the proposed system.

Abstract

Multistep tasks refer to activities of daily living that require a sequence of actions to be performed (e.g., preparing a sandwich). Engaging persons with intellectual disabilities in such tasks is an important educational goal, but these persons may find it difficult to independently execute the correct sequence of steps necessary to perform the intended activity. In this proof-of-concept study, we evaluated the usability of a web application running on a mobile device to enable three young adults with intellectual and motor disabilities to independently complete multistep tasks. The results of this study provide preliminary evidence about the overall usability of the web application for persons with disability and their caregivers. Future studies may build on current evidence to prove the overall effectiveness of the proposed system.
