Abstract
Q (1) What is the effectiveness of a behavioral skills training (BST) package including a computer-based instructional (CBI) component for promoting acquisition, generalization, and maintenance of conversational skills in adults with autism spectrum disorders? (2) To what extent is the package socially valid in terms of study participants’ and parents’ perceptions of the acceptability of the procedures, and peers’ evaluation of outcomes?
期刊介绍:
Evidence-Based Communication Assessment and Intervention (EBCAI) brings together professionals who work in clinical and educational practice as well as researchers from all disciplines to promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in serving individuals with communication impairments. The primary aims of EBCAI are to: Promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in communication assessment and intervention; Appraise the latest and best communication assessment and intervention studies so as to facilitate the use of research findings in clinical and educational practice; Provide a forum for discussions that advance EBP; and Disseminate research on EBP. We target speech-language pathologists, special educators, regular educators, applied behavior analysts, clinical psychologists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists who serve children or adults with communication impairments.
