Abstract
The use of the iPad has become a popular intervention tool in many intervention programs. Although the iPad can be found in most intervention programs and classrooms, little research exists on the effectiveness of the iPad as a teaching and intervention accessory. The purpose of this study was to compare the acquisition rate of receptive labels with the iPad and traditional materials. The results indicated that traditional condition was more efficient for learning receptive labels. Not only did the traditional condition result in fewer trials to criteria, overall response errors were lower during the traditional condition then the iPad condition.
