Abstract	The purpose of this study was to determine whether the use of a personal digital assistant (PDA) would facilitate the recording of homework by an adolescent boy with Asperger syndrome (AS). A multiple-baseline-across-settings design was used in the student's history, English, and science classes to determine the accuracy with which he recorded (a) the subject in which the homework was assigned, (b) the date the assignment was due, and (c) qualifying details of the assignment (e.g., problem numbers, chapter questions). Results of the study revealed a marked increase in recording of homework assignments from baseline to intervention phases. (Author).
