Abstract
|
|
|
|
In this study, a three-year old boy with autism and complex communication needs was taught oral vowel shapes using in-vivo modeling with exaggerated mouth movements. A multiple baseline design across behaviors (three vowels) was used. The number of the child’s oral imitation initiations was recorded. Also the child’s challenging behaviors during session were recorded as were his absences during the intervention period. Both visual and statistical analyses were obtained and interpreted. Results indicated that the intervention generally had a moderate to large effect on oral shape imitation and that challenging behavior during intervention sessions also decreased over the course of the study.
