The 7th graded female student had moderate mental retardation. With her parents' permission, a family-friendly multimedia prompt system was built and applied in the home environment to establish the student’s self-determination skills in leisure activities. As the researcher together with the student and her mother encountering various unexpected situations, the action plan had adjusted for three times. In the research, data was collected mainly through interviews, discussions and direct observations. Data analysis included the continuous-comparison and description statistics.
The research obtains the following results:
1. The action plan was developed, implemented and adjustedall based on the student’s needs and problems encountered in her daily life, and correspond to her ecological environment as well as natural support systems.
2. After the implementation of the action plan, the frequence of the student’s attending leisure activities has increased.
3. After the implementation of the action plan, the student’s self-determination in leisure activities has shown frequently, such as self-selection and active seeking assistance/alternatives.
4. After the implementation of the action plan, the student’s leisure activities skills has not yet improved significantly.
5. The student was satisfied with the results from the action plan.
The action research shows that the multimedia reminder system enhances the self-determination performance in leisure activities of the student with moderate intellectual disability. The implication from the results is that the multimedia reminder system might be a useful tool for students with intellectual disabilities to improve their own self-determination.
