Note:
1.3.1: The objective of this curriculum-development project - Project AIMS (Acquiring Independent Money Skills) – is to improve the independence and community participation of individuals with IDD in Texas by increasing their purchasing skills using innovative technologies based on evidence-based strategies. Specifically, the curriculum will include an initial individualized assessment of purchasing skills, placement into an appropriate training module to learn how to make purchases, strategies for application of newly acquired skills in community settings, and performance tracking. Project AIMS will develop an automated, self-paced, online training curriculum, tools, and resources for teaching purchasing skills to make purchases for use by individuals with IDD. This project will also develop and maintain a website for sustainability of curriculum for public access. Specific components of the curriculum will include basic demographics of the users with IDD, an initial individualized assessment of baseline purchasing skills, placement into an appropriate training module to learn how to purchase items, strategies for application of newly acquired skills in community settings, and performance tracking. Research questions include: What is the impact of online learning modules on purchasing skills for individuals with IDD? How well do skills learned via a computer module generalize to naturalistic settings? What are the perceptions of these instructional modules among the participants (learners & staff)? The results from this study will contribute to the current literature on purchasing skills for persons with IDD using on-line modules.
