Abstract
Abstract:Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often demonstrate deficits in spontaneous language during play and other social interactions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of an instructional procedure that could be used during play to increase tacts by three 4-year-old children with ASD. A multiple-probe across behaviors design was used to evaluate the effects of the play-based intervention on participants' acquisition of tacts. The participants demonstrated rapid acquisition of targeted tacts during the training procedure and two participants maintained responses during a two-week follow-up probe. The results demonstrate that the play-based intervention procedure can be effective for teaching verbal behavior to children with ASD.
期刊介绍：
Education and Treatment of Children (ETC) is devoted to the dissemination of information concerning the development of services for children and youth who are at risk for or experiencing emotional or behavioral problems. A primary criterion for publication is that the material be of direct value to educators, parents, child care providers, or mental health professionals in improving the effectiveness of their services. Therefore, authors are required to compose their manuscripts in a clear, concise style that will be readily understood by the practitioners who are likely to make use of the information.
