This study aimed to teach individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and limited vocal speech emit target vocalizations while using a speech-generating device (SGD). Of the 4 participants, 3 began emitting word approximations SGD responses after instructional methods (delays, differential reinforcement, prompting) were introduced. Two participants met mastery criterion reinforcer delay 1 fading an echoic model prompt delay. For these initiated before outputs shown increase, generalized...
Abstract We examined the degree of autocorrelation among single‐case design data with six measures used to estimate treatment effect size. The most commonly size for over last 5 years published in peer‐reviewed journals were selected comparison. overall mean was 0.46 (SD = 0.33) across 304 paths, which represents a moderate autocorrelation. Overall, it appears that non‐parametric (i.e., percent non‐overlapping [PND], non‐overlap all pairs [NAP], and improvement rate difference [IRD] values)...
The literature suggests that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) educated in inclusive settings generally do not interact typically developing classmates during social activities. This study assessed whether an intervention package consisting of interest‐based structured play activities involving adult instruction, modeling, and response to child questions would result increase interaction peers. A multiple baseline design across four participants embedded reversal was used...
A collateral intervention effect refers to changes in behaviors which were not directly targeted during intervention. Using predetermined search and inclusion procedures, this systematic review identified 46 studies involving children with autism spectrum disorder 14 desirable effects across multiple domains of functioning. Collateral associated with: (a) interventions naturalistic behavioral strategies; (b) participants limited communication and/or cognitive deficits; (c) performance...
AbstractAbstractCoping Power (CP) is an evidence-based intervention that reduces externalizing behaviors in students who are identified as aggressive or disruptive. CP based on a cognitive-behavioral model and involves child-focused group sessions parent-focused sessions. A large body of research has demonstrated the effectiveness CP, but to date there not been systematic review meta-analysis published studies. Therefore, purpose this work was conduct examining characteristics,...
Objectives: The effects of iPod-based visual activity schedules with embedded video models (video-enhanced schedules) on the academic skills and challenging behavior children autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were evaluated.Methods: A multiple baseline design across three target was used two participants, ages 9 11, to assess skill acquisition (e.g. calculating fractions percentages, identifying synonyms). Additionally, we assessed for potential iatrogenic using a highly preferred electronic...
Five children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were taught to request preferred items using four different augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) displays on an iPad®-based speech-generating device (SGD). Acquisition was compared multi-element designs. Displays included a symbol-based grid, photo image embedded hotspots, hybrid (photo hotspots symbols), pop-up symbol grid. Three participants mastered requesting from field of at least three displays, one in two. The fifth...
The current study examined the relation between ratio of baseline to treatment sessions and how differences in this can influence estimation effect size from temporally adjacent phases any single-case experimental design (SCED). describes Bayesian statistical analyses be used aggregate outcomes across subjects meta-analyze SCED data. One-third all A versus B comparisons (based upon simulated average values) did have a 10% or more bias, with vast majority bias being substantially fewer data...
This study evaluated the effects of using preferred activities with peer support on social interactions preschoolers autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their typically developing peers. Two preschool-age children ASD six peers in an inclusive classroom participated this study. A multiple-probe single case experimental design across three was employed. Results indicated that participants’ initiations responses, as well percentage time engaged play, increased following activity. Gains were...
Research suggests that including typically developing siblings in interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be beneficial. However, studies have predominantly involved only participants mild symptoms of ASD and not also reported outcomes the sibling. The purpose this study was to address these gaps by replicating extending an intervention package consisting structured, interest-based play activities, adult instruction modeling, response child questions. A reversal...
