- Abstract
-
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a Direct Instruction (DI) flashcard system to teach 10 basic colors to three preschool students, two of them with disabilities and one typically developing. The study was conducted in a private birth to three program in a preschool special education classroom. The preschool was located in a large urban city in the Pacific Northwest. Ten colors were taught to our three participants.. During baseline, performance was low. When DI flashcards and a color racetrack were employed, the two preschool students with disabilities showed little improvement. However, the typically developing preschool student showed mastery for Set 1 colors, and partial mastery for Set 2. Possible reasons for the lack of outcomes for two of our participants were made. The procedures were inexpensive, easy to implement and evaluate, and caused little classroom disruption. Possible reasons for the lack of positive outcomes for the two participants with developmental delays were made.
