Paper Title:
The Impact of Visual Schedules on Problem Behaviours in Children with Intellectual Disabilities having an Associated Condition of Autism Spectrum Disorder: An Empirical Investigation
This empirical study examines how visual schedules can help lessen problem behaviours in children who have intellectual disabilities (ID) along with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Using a hands-on approach, we tested this in a real-world setting with a small group of kids. The research compared two groups: one that used visual schedules during daily activities and another that stuck to regular classroom routines. We measured behaviours before and after the intervention with a trusted tool called the Basic-MR Part B scale. The results showed a clear drop in issues like tantrums and non-compliance in the group using schedules, while the other group saw only minor changes. This suggests visual schedules are a practical way to make days more predictable and less stressful for these children. We discuss what this means for teachers and families, point out some study limits, and suggest ideas for more research. Overall, it's a step toward better, everyday supports that build on children strengths in visual learning.
