Abstract

Multiperson activity schedules capitalize on the benefits of independent activity schedules, a commonly used visual support for individuals with disabilities. Activity schedules minimize the need for adult prompting and increase independence with complex tasks by breaking them down into pictures, written words, or videos. Multiperson schedules allow pairs and small groups of individuals with disabilities to work together with minimal adult involvement to accomplish a task. This systematic review aims to inform researchers and other interested persons regarding the use of multiperson activity schedules to aid in decision-making and support implementation. We screened 146 articles and dissertations against our study inclusion criteria and found 11 studies meeting the criteria. Data compiled from the 11 studies highlight the usefulness and effectiveness of this evolving intervention. Strengths and weaknesses of the included studies are discussed, as well as implications for future research and practice.
