Efficacy of an Intervention to Teach Zippering: A Two-Group Control Study

2019-12-05 00:03:05 | BioPortfolio

Summary

Preschoolers are assigned to a control group or a comparison group to examine the efficacy of a new intervention to teach the skill of engaging and pulling up a zipper.

Description

Purpose: This pilot study compares the efficacy of a standard teaching zippering vest presented with general verbal prompts to a modified teaching zippering vest presented with a related story and vocabulary in the acquisition of zippering skills among typically developing preschoolers. IRB approval and parent consent was obtained.

Design: An experimental two group pre-post test design was used. Setting: Research occurred in a local preschool. Participants: Participants were recruited from fifty 3.6-to 4.11-year-old preschoolers.

Intervention: Eligible children received 3 zippering practice sessions with either a standard zippering vest (control group) or a modified vest with added visual and language cues (comparison group).

The treatment protocol for both cohorts of participants was administered over a three-week time period to minimize the impact of normal development.
