This intervention uses the student's smartphone device and a university map application to guide students as they navigate to specific destinations around campus (e.g., library, classroom buildings, restaurants, student union, and recreation centers). A single-case experimental withdrawal design (ABAB) was used to collect data for two participants. There was an immediate level change upon introduction of the intervention for both participants, indicating a functional relation. Results are suggestive that the presentation and application of wayfinding skills through technology can be successful and have the potential to support more independent lifestyles for persons with an intellectual or developmental disability.
