| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 特殊教育學系重度障礙碩士班 === 104 === This study aimed to develop a computerized tool of assessment-intervention program for sensory perceptual issues of children with autism spectrum disorders. The tool was developed, based on Ho’s version (2013), through four phases. Two questionnaire investigations have been implemented in the process to build the content validity of the tool and to confirm its applicability on the sensory perceptual issues of ASD children for the professionals in the field.
Phase I, a draft version of the tool was created with the focus on increasing the amount of the intervention strategies and the auto-connections among the working sheets. The intervention strategies were organized by the categories from Miller et al. (2007) and from Bogdashina (2003). Phase II, the draft version of the tool was tested and modified. A questionnaire investigation was implemented to test the intervention strategies included in the tool. Results confirmed that the tool has good content validity. The draft version was modified with the professionals’ feedback from the investigation.
Phase III, the final version of the tool was further tested for its applicability for the professionals in the ASD practices on sensory perceptual issues. Another questionnaire investigation was implemented and its results confirmed the tool was applicable for the practitioners. Phase IV, a brief operational manual of the tool was developed.
As a conclusion, the tool developed in the study showed good content validity and fair applicability on sensory perceptual issues of ASD individuals. Suggestions for practices and further research was provided.
