Abstract
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and efficiency of the model-lead-test (MLT) and video modeling (VM) methods in teaching individuals with ID how to access and use the services provided by the Turkish state in digital environments. Four individuals participated in the study, in which the adapted alternating treatments design, one of the single-subject research designs, was used. Both methods were effective in ensuring that participants acquired digital citizenship skills. The findings showed that both interventions were equally effective for three participants and VM was slightly more effective for one participant. MLT was more efficient for all participants in terms of the number of sessions and the duration of instruction. It was recorded that non-targeted information presentation regarding digital citizenship elements increased participants’ knowledge levels. The participants and their parents expressed positive opinions about the study’s social validity.
