Each year, the TASH Conference strengthens the disability field by connecting attendees to innovative information and resources, facilitating connections between stakeholders within the disability movement, and helping attendees reignite their passion for an inclusive world. This year’s conference theme, “Gateway to Equity,” explores inclusive communities, schools, and workplaces that support people with disabilities, including those with complex support needs, in living a fair, just, and balanced life.

This single subject study examined a task analysis developed to teach individuals with intellectual/developmental disability (I/DD) to set a daily schedule using his or her smart watch and phone to access a college campus. The studentsŸ?? use the smart watch/phone combination in order to receive notifications (i.e., alarms) about important meetings (e.g., class, study time). A total of five students participated in the study, which took place in an inclusive setting on a college campus in the Southwest United States. After this presentation, practitioners will be able to implement this strategy using smart technology with individuals with I/DD. After this session, participants will be able to discuss the methodology, results, implications, and limitations of a strategy to teach students with I/DD how to set alarms on his or her smart phone based on his or her daily schedule. After this session, participants will be able to discuss the use of smart technology (i.e., smart phone and smart watch) to promote self-determination of students with I/DD in college as they learn to set his or her own daily schedule. After this session, participants will be able to implement the exact steps of the task analysis presented to teach students with I/DD how to set alarms based on his or her daily schedule.
