ABSTRACT

The Purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Reading and Writing Strategy Using Mind-Map on the Response to Questions and Length of Compositions by Adolescent Students with autism spectrum disorder. In this study, three autism spectrum disorder students who have difficulties in reading comprehension compared to word recognition and writing skills were participated. To improve their reading comprehension and writing skills, Mind-Map strategy was taught using visually supported task organizer. A multiple probe baseline design across participants was used to assess intervention effects. The results of this study are summarized as follows: First, The Response to Questions of three autism spectrum disorder students was improved through the Mind-Map strategy instruction using reading material from story and maintained after withdrawal of intervention. Second, Length of Compositions by three autism spectrum disorder students were improved through the Mind-Map strategy instruction using reading material from story and maintained after withdrawal of intervention. This result implies that autism spectrum disorder students can learn reading and writing strategy and manage their performance independently. Moreover, this study proves that the Mind-Map strategy is useful for students with autism spectrum disorder as well as other students with learning disabilities or mental retardation.
