Improving Pragmatics in Nonverbal Children with Autism Using Melodic Based Communication Therapy / Givona A. SANDIFORD in Autism - Open Access, 3-3 (December 2013)
[article]
Titre : Improving Pragmatics in Nonverbal Children with Autism Using Melodic Based Communication Therapy Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Givona A. SANDIFORD, Auteur ; Karen J. MAINESS, Auteur ; Noha S. DAHER, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : 5 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Pragmatics Social skills Music Speech therapy Nonverbal Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background of study: Persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction are key components in the diagnosis of autism. For this reason it is clear that successful intervention for individuals with autism must address this deficit. Melodic Based Communication Therapy (M.B.C.T) has been previously found to improve expressive vocabulary and verbal imitative abilities in nonverbal individuals with autism over the age of 5; however findings on the effect of M.B.C.T. on pragmatic (social) language have not previously been discussed. Purpose: The objective of this study was to examine the effect of 5 consecutive weeks of Melodic Based Communication Therapy on pragmatics in nonverbal children with autism. Method: Participants were 12 nonverbal children with autism ages 5 through 7 randomly assigned to the M.B.C.T. or control group. Participants received 5 weeks of intervention, with four 45-minute individual sessions a week. The Pragmatic Language Skills Inventory (PLSI) was used to measure pragmatics pre and post treatment. Results: Following treatment, the M.B.C.T. group showed significant improvement in PLSI score (72.3 ± 10.1 vs 65.4 ± 7.0, p=.04) while the control group did not (67.7 ± 1.2 vs 66.8 ±.5, p=.32). However, there was no significant difference in improvement between the two groups (6.9 ± 2.4 vs 1.0 ±.5, p=.11). Conclusions: Results suggest M.B.C.T. may be a viable means of improving pragmatics in children with autism over time. However, a larger sample size may be needed for more conclusive results.

SANDIFORD, Auteur ; Karen J. MAINESS, Auteur ; Noha S. DAHER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1298-1307 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Nonverbal Children Efficacy Treatment Music Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of Melodic Based Communication Therapy (MBCT) to traditional speech and language therapy for eliciting speech in nonverbal children with autism. Participants were 12 nonverbal children with autism ages 5 through 7 randomly assigned to either treatment group. Both groups made significant progress after treatment. The MBCT group progressed significantly in number of verbal attempts after weeks 1 through 4 and number of correct words after weeks 1 and 3, while the traditional group progressed significantly after weeks 4 and 5. No significant differences in number of verbal attempts or number of correct words were noted between groups following treatment. A significant number of new words were heard in the home environment for the MBCT group (p = .04). Participants in the MBCT group had more imitative attempts (p = .03). MBCT appears to be a valid form of intervention for children with autism.
