Abstract

Children with autism spectrum disorder experience communication difficulties that can make it challenging to engage in conversations. Their caregivers also often struggle with finding ways to support the child’s communication. Parent-implemented interventions and visual supports are evidence-based practices to support the communication skills of children with autism.

A multi-method design (single-case multiple probe and qualitative) was used to evaluate the effects of family photographs, training, and telecoaching on parental implementation of communication strategies. Three parents and their children with and at risk for autism participated.

Results indicate that the use of photographs increased the communication strategies used by all parents. Telecoaching further increased the overall strategy use for two parents. Interviews with the parents indicate spontaneous generalization and maintenance of strategy use.

Family photos and naturalistic developmental behavior intervention approaches have the potential to improve communication about past events between parents and children with and at risk for ASD.

照片和家长培训，以支持照顾者和自闭症儿童之间关于过去事件的对话。

目的：患有自闭症谱系障碍的儿童会遇到沟通困难，这会使他们很难参与对话。他们的照顾者也经常难以找到支持孩子沟通的方法。父母实施的干预和视觉支持是基于证据的做法，以支持自闭症儿童的沟通技能。方法：采用多方法设计（单例多探针和定性）来评估家庭照片、培训和远程教育对父母实施沟通策略的影响。三位患有自闭症和有自闭症风险的父母和他们的孩子参加了此次活动。结果：研究结果表明，照片的使用增加了所有父母使用的沟通策略。远程教学进一步增加了双亲的整体策略使用。对父母的访谈表明，策略使用是自发的概括和维持。结论：家庭照片和自然主义的发展行为干预方法有可能改善父母和患有ASD和有ASD风险的儿童之间关于过去事件的沟通。
