According to the Center for Applied Special Technology, Book Builder™ uses supported eText to promote reading for meaning for all students. Students with autism spectrum disorder experience difficulty comprehending science content because of the extensive amount of background knowledge required in conjunction with difficulties understanding abstract and figurative language. Investigations on the most effective methods for reading comprehension and teaching science to this population are equally limited. In this pilot study, feasibility was supported in high levels of treatment fidelity and teacher- and student-reported satisfaction. A multiple probe across participants with an embedded ABCD design was used to evaluate various modifications of Book Builder™ on measures of vocabulary, literal comprehension, and application questions. Considerations for students with ASD, limitations, and recommendations for future research conclude the article.

Teaching social studies content to students with autism using a graphic organizer intervention / Tracie-Lynn ZAKAS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-9 (September 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-9 (September 2013) . - p.1075-1086 Titre : Teaching social studies content to students with autism using a graphic organizer intervention Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Tracie-Lynn ZAKAS, Auteur ; Diane M. BROWDER, Auteur ; Lynn AHLGRIM-DELZELL, Auteur ; Tina HEAFNER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1075-1086 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Social studies  History  Graphic organizer  Adapted text  Single-case design Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract The National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) emphasizes the teaching of social studies to provide students with information, critical thinking skills, and experiences to allow them to grow into responsible and effective citizens. There have been few studies focused on social studies instruction for students with autism spectrum disorders or other developmental disabilities. One of the barriers to teaching social studies to students without and with disabilities is students’ ability to read and understand written expository text. This current study investigated the use of a modified graphic organizer to promote improved expository text comprehension for middle school students with autism. Three students were instructed to use a modified graphic organizer intervention to answer nine items from United States history passages. Results indicated that each of the three students increased their ability to independently respond to the nine comprehension items.

Explicit instruction is effective for teaching students with high incidence disabilities a variety of skills, including science content. In this study, we taught three elementary aged students with autism spectrum disorder to acquire science descriptors (e.g., wet) and then generalization to novel objects, pictures, and within a science inquiry lesson via explicit instruction. A multiple probe across behaviors with concurrent replication across participants design measured the effects of the intervention. All three participants met criterion, some were able to generalize to novel objects, pictures, and objects within science inquiry lesson. Outcomes are discussed from the perspective of implications for practice and future research investigations.

A system of least intrusive prompts was modified by inserting a rule for answering “Wh” questions and an opportunity to hear sections of the biography again. The procedure was evaluated via a multiple probe design across students. Outcomes indicate that all students improved listening comprehension after intervention and all students maintained high levels of correct responding 2 weeks after intervention. In addition, three students generalized skills to new biographies. The need for future research and implications for practice are discussed.
