Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of analogy-based phonics instruction utilizing movable picture charts for learners with intellectual disabilities. The research aimed to assess the impact of interactive and multisensory learning experiences on phonics skill development in this population. A one-on-one study design was employed, involving a single participant diagnosed with moderate intellectual disability enrolled in a self-contained special education program. Specific criteria guided participant selection, focusing on diagnosis and enrollment in the self-contained classroom setting. The intervention utilized customized movable picture books featuring large, bold text, simplified language, interactive flaps, tabs, and multisensory elements. Results indicated a significant improvement in phonics skills following the intervention, suggesting the efficacy of analogy-based phonics instruction using movable picture charts for learners with intellectual disabilities.
