The participant was a twenty-four year-old adult with autism spectrum disorder. Using an alternating treatment design, the researcher examined two independent variables ( fluency training and accuracy training) on the effects on the dependent variables. The dependent variables were the time of completing task and the correct numbers on the task, and the maintenance and generalization of the trained skills. Two kinds of the data were used to analyze the effects of fluency training versus accuracy training, one was visual analysis and the other was to compare with the average performance of five normal adults. Through the questionnaires and interviewed the subjects’ parents, the results was to confirm the social validity of the study. Results of this study were showed below: (1) During the training sessions, fluency training resulted in the shorter completing time on the tasks than accuracy training, and the performance of correct numbers were positive after the trainings. (2) Because of removing the aims of the tasks, instructions, the effect of completing time of accuracy training were better than fluency training. But both of the effects of correct numbers showed positive. (3) Both of the trainings showed positive maintenance on the completing time and the correct numbers. Key words: fluency training, accuracy training, speed, adult with autism spectrum disorders (ASD)
