The ability to solve mathematical problems related to purchasing and personal finance is
important in promoting skill generalization and increasing independence for individuals with
moderate intellectual disabilities (IDs). Using a multiple probe across participant design, this
study investigated the effects of modified schema-based instruction (MSBI) on personal
finance problem solving skills, purchasing an item on sale or leaving a tip, and using a

The ability to solve mathematical problems related to purchasing and personal finance is important in promoting skill generalization and increasing independence for individuals with moderate intellectual disabilities (IDs). Using a multiple probe across participant design, this study investigated the effects of modified schema-based instruction (MSBI) on personal finance problem solving skills, purchasing an item on sale or leaving a tip, and using a calculator or iDevice (i.e., iPhone or iPad) for three middle school students diagnosed with a moderate ID. The results showed a functional relation between MSBI using a calculator on the participant’s ability to solve addition and subtraction personal finance word problems and generalize to iDevices. The findings of this study provide several implications for practice and offer suggestions for future research.
