A Meta-Analysis of Functional Communication Training Effects on Problem Behavior and Alternative Communicative Responses / Laura C. CHEZAN in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 33-4 (December 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 33-4 (December 2018) . - p.195-205 Titre : A Meta-Analysis of Functional Communication Training Effects on Problem Behavior and Alternative Communicative Responses Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Laura C. CHEZAN, Auteur ; Katie WOLFE, Auteur ; Erik DRASGOW, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p.195-205 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : functional communication training  meta-analysis  single-case research design  WWC Standards Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We conducted a meta-analysis of single-case research design (SCRD) studies on functional communication training (FCT). First, we used the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Standards to evaluate each study. Next, we calculated effect sizes using Tau-U. Then, we aggregated the effect sizes across the studies to produce an omnibus effect size. Results indicate that more than half of the SCRD studies met the WWC Standards and that FCT was effective in decreasing the level of problem behavior and in increasing the level of the alternative communicative response (ACR), but effectiveness varied according to such factors as type of disability and age. Furthermore, the results of visual analysis corresponded with Tau-U effect sizes in more than half of the cases. Implications for researchers and practitioners are discussed.

Improving the Use of Evidence-Based Instructional Practices for Paraprofessionals / Jennifer R. LEDFORD in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 33-4 (December 2018)

In this study, a multiple probe design across participants was used to assess the effectiveness of coaching and the provision of feedback on the use of prompting procedures and associated practices for three adults supporting three young students with autism in a self-contained elementary school setting. Results showed improved use of target practices and increased student engagement. More research is needed regarding the training and coaching of teaching teams and the use of evidence-based coaching and feedback practices to assist paraprofessionals in implementing EBIPs with small groups of students and in a variety of educational settings.

Efficacy of a Teacher Training a Paraprofessional to Promote Communication for a Student With Autism and Complex Communication Needs / Lauryn WERMER in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 33-4 (December 2018)

Although paraprofessionals are often charged with supporting these students, they are rarely trained in how to promote communication, and there is limited research on how they might be trained. In this study, we used a multiple baseline across behaviors design to test the efficacy of a teacher-implemented training package to train a paraprofessional to provide opportunities for an elementary student with autism to respond, set up opportunities for her to initiate, and implement a systematic prompting hierarchy. We demonstrated a functional relation between the teacher-implemented training and paraprofessional acquisition of the strategies, and paraprofessional implementation coincided with increased student communication. This study replicates previous findings that paraprofessionals can be trained to implement evidence-based practices to promote use of alternative/augmentative communication, and extends this literature by demonstrating that a classroom teacher can deliver paraprofessional training effectively.

Researchers used a multiple probe across participants design to evaluate effects of supported eText including explicit instruction on measures of vocabulary, literal comprehension, and application questions of four high school students with moderate intellectual disability. Authors found a functional relation between supported eText using embedded, explicit instructional supports (i.e., animated coaches to deliver the model-lead-test procedure and use of examples and nonexamples) and the number of correct responses on the probe. In addition, students generalized to untrained exemplars, and social validity indicated the program as practical and useful.

Each student was able to acquire his or her three mathematical behaviors (i.e., place value, single-digit addition with regrouping, subtraction with regrouping, and single-digit multiplication) following instruction with the VRA sequence. However, each student struggled with maintenance with at least one behavior. Implications for practice relative to the VRA instructional sequence are discussed.

A Systematic Review of Single-Case Research Studies on Using Video Modeling Interventions to Improve Social Communication Skills for Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorder / Cathy Huaqing QI in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 33-4 (December 2018)

However, the research, which primarily used single-case research designs (SCRDs), pointed to inconsistent results across participants within studies and across studies. The purpose of this review was to synthesize 24 research studies using SCRD to examine the effects of VM for individuals with ASD on social communication skills. We applied the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) SCRD design standards, conducted our own independent visual analysis, and calculated four nonoverlap indices to synthesize this research. Findings from the synthesis of the 24 SCRD studies concluded that VM intervention is an evidence-based practice according to the WWC standards for increasing social communication skills of individuals with ASD. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
