Abstract: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the video prompting method delivered via tablet in teaching the daily life skill of using a dishwasher to individuals with mild intellectual disabilities. The dependent variable of the study was the acquisition of the daily life skill of using a dishwasher. The independent variable was the instructional program based on video prompting delivered through a tablet. A multiple probe design across participants, one of the single-subject research methods, was employed. Participants included one male and two female students aged 14–16 years with mild intellectual disabilities. The study was conducted in the kitchen workshop of Gazimağusa Special Education and Vocational Training School in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). The results indicated that the video prompting method was effective in teaching the daily life skill of using a dishwasher to individuals with mild intellectual disabilities. Furthermore, the participants maintained the skill during follow-up observations conducted 1, 2, and 4 weeks after instruction. They were also able to generalize the skill across different settings and instructors. According to social validity findings collected from teachers, the video prompting method was viewed positively, and teachers expressed a willingness to use it for teaching other skills and with different students. The results of the study were discussed in relation to similar studies, and recommendations for future research were provided.
