ABSTRACT
This study was intended to examine the use of digital Power Cards for children with ASD to enhance their communication skills. A single-subject research design was applied. Data from one participant from one special school were collected through the frequency recording sheet. Data were then analyzed through the comparison between desirable behaviors and undesirable behaviors. The results reported showed that the undesirable behaviors were more frequent than desirable behaviors on the first week before the Digital Power Cards were used. In the next week, the frequency was different and the desirable behaviors were more frequent than the undesirable behaviors. In the last week, the same pattern as week 2 was evident. Therefore, it can be concluded that the recent innovation of a Power Cards strategy involving the use of technology could help a student with ASD in developing his communication skills.
