Study conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Project SHOP, which is a prototype computer-based program designed to build grocery-shopping skills for people with intellectual disabilities. The program utilizes multimedia such as photographs of 33 cereals, 22 canned soups, 21 frozen pizzas, and a shopping cart, while a cartoon tutor named Shopper Bob provides guidance and feedback to the virtual shopper. Four students with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities participated in the study, which measured the percentage of items correctly selected in the computer environment and in a live grocery store setting. Results indicated that Project SHOP was successful in improving grocery-shopping skills in a live shopping setting.
