Two adults in the pre-vocational shelter participated in this study. Both of them have limited verbal ability, however, they are lack of the ability to express what happened in their everyday life. A single-subject experimental design of multiple probes across subjects was used in this study. The independent variable introduced in this study was the 5W oral narrative teaching program, which was implemented to the subjects in order to help the subjects learn to oral narrative from his life experiences. The dependent variables of this research were percentage of oral narrative behaviors including 5W (i.e., who, when, where, doing what, and how you feel). Visual analysis was used to analyze the results of this study. Evaluation questionnaires and interviews of the teachers were used to collect the data for social validity. The results showed that the 5W teaching program in this study has great impact on the improvement of oral narrative behaviors for adults with autism. The results displayed that this 5W teaching programs enhanced, maintained and generalized the outcomes of oral narrative for adults with autism. Social validity data also favor the results. Teachers in the shelter all agreed and favored the outcome of the 5W narrative program.
