Sumario:This experimental study was designed to test the effect on work productivity of using signed key words to demonstrate work instructions to high school students with learning disabilities. All qualified students with learning disabilities who had reading problems performed the same work task. The control group received standard written work instructions for the work task. A second group received work instructions for the work task using the experimental method, which consisted of the standard written instructions with the addition of signing key words. The findings showed that the quantitative and qualitative work productivity level of the students in the experimental group was significantly better than that of the students in the control group.
