The study was part of her Masters degree, supervised by Dr Mary MacAteer. Melanie worked with staff in an ail-age special school for children with autism and learning disabilities. Studies have shown that the way we interact with children on the autism spectrum can either facilitate or inhibit their social communication and a number of key principles have been identified which are thought to be good practice. The first part of the paper s written by Melanie and explains the details of the intervention (adult—child interaction training), how the study was set up, and its theoretical underpinning. The second part of the paper, written by both Melanie and Mary presents and discusses the findings from the project and makes recommendations for practice and future studies. it provides a framework against which to consider adult style and encourages readers to explore this further in their own settings.
