Research on the Intervention of Visual Cue Strategy on Self-Care Ability of Children with Autism

The formation of self-care ability is the first step for children with autism to enter the society, and it is also a prerequisite and guarantee for their independent survival. This study aimed to explore the impact of visual cue strategies on the self-care ability of children with autism. Based on the ABA design of a single case study, this research conducted a four-month intervention on a seven-year-old child with autism via visual cue strategy as independent variables and sockwearing skills as dependent variables, in order to explore the effect of visual cue strategy on self-care ability of children with autism. It turned out that visual cue strategy exerts a positive immediate sustained effect and social validity on the self-care ability of children with autism. Lastly, suggestions were provided for future related research based on the research process, results, and limitations.
