Abstract

Given the impact of the global pandemic on children’s schooling and learning, evidence for interventions implemented by parents is urgently needed. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a parent-mediated LEGO intervention on the social interactions of four children on the autism spectrum. The intervention involved four sets of two parents engaging with their child in collaborative LEGO construction, with each person assigned a role as Engineer, Supplier, or Builder. Using a multiple probe design across the four family triads, the intervention effectively increased spontaneous social initiations and responses in all four children, and these behaviors were maintained for 6 weeks following the intervention. The effect on inappropriate interactions was not detected; parental prompts increased in initial intervention sessions but decreased over time. Parents implemented the intervention at home with high fidelity. Efficacy of the intervention and potential benefits of virtual parent training are discussed.

通过家长介导的乐高游戏活动改善自闭症儿童的社会互动
鉴于全球大流行病对儿童上学和学习的影响,迫切需要家长采取干预措施的证据。本研究旨在评估父母介导的乐高干预对四名自闭症儿童社会互动的影响。干预包括四组两名父母和他们的孩子一起合作乐高积木,每个人被分配为工程师、供应商或建造者。在四个家庭三合会中使用多重探针设计,干预有效地增加了所有四个孩子的自发社会启动和反应,并且这些行为在干预后保持了6周。没有检测到对不当互动的影响;父母的提示在最初的干预阶段增加,但随着时间的推移减少。家长在家中以高保真度实施干预。讨论了虚拟家长培训的干预效果和潜在效益。
