The purpose of this study is to find out whether the mother mediated joint attention-focused play on promoting precursors of joint attention and joint attention behaviors for ASD toddlers. The participants in this study were three toddlers with ASD who were under 30 months, didn’t show the joint attention behavior. This study used a multiple baseline design across participants to verify the intervention effects. The researcher gave mothers training which was consist of mother education and feedback, and mothers implemented 30 minutes joint attention-focused play every day. The results of the study were as follows. First, all toddlers showed improvement in the rate of precursors of joint attention and joint attention behavior through mother mediated joint attention-focused play. Second, in four-week follow-up observation, two toddlers were maintained. Third, precursors of joint attention were generalized to the other family members for two toddler and to the other situations for one toddler. Joint attention behaviors were generalized to the other family members for two toddlers but were not to the other situations. Implications and suggestions for the future directions of the related research were also discussed.
