We implemented a single-case multiple baseline design to determine the efficacy of the app. Results indicated that participants rapidly demonstrated above-chance level mastery of the app. Following mastery, two participants demonstrated a preference for the app, while the other preferred the traditional PECS communication book.

Efficacy of Handheld Electronic Visual Supports to Enhance Vocabulary in Children With ASD / Jennifer B. GANZ in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 29-1 (March 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 29-1 (March 2014) . - p.3-12 Titre : Efficacy of Handheld Electronic Visual Supports to Enhance Vocabulary in Children With ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jennifer B. GANZ, Auteur ; Margot B. BOLES, Auteur ; Fara D. GOODWYN, Auteur ; Margaret M. FLORES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3-12 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : iPad®  handheld computer  autism  communication  vocabulary  intervention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although electronic tools such as handheld computers have become increasingly common throughout society, implementation of such tools to improve skills in individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities has lagged in the professional literature. However, the use of visual scripts for individuals with disabilities, particularly those with autism spectrum disorders, has been demonstrated to be effective, though frequently in static formats. Thus, this study involved the implementation of an alternating-treatment design to investigate the effects of tablet computer-based visual scripts on vocabulary use in three 8- to 14-year-old children with autism. Results indicated that all the participants showed increased use of verbs or nouns with the treatment materials, all the participants required less invasive prompts as the project progressed, and one participant had mixed results in the spontaneous use of nouns, increasing in their use in treatment and nontreatment conditions.
