Trained school staff members provided direct instruction for 56 children in the intervention group, and 39 children participated in a comparison group. Results showed children in the intervention group displayed significantly more initiations to peers than did the comparison group during non-treatment social probes and generalization probes. Treatment session data showed significant growth for total communications over baseline levels. Children in treatment also showed more growth in language and adaptive communication. Finally, teachers’ ratings of prosocial skills revealed significantly greater improvements for the intervention group.

Peer mediation to increase communication and interaction at recess for students with autism spectrum disorders / Rose MASON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-3 (March 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-3 (March 2014) . - p.334-344 Titre : Peer mediation to increase communication and interaction at recess for students with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rose MASON, Auteur ; Debra M. KAMPS, Auteur ; Amy TURCOTTE, Auteur ; Suzanne COX, Auteur ; Sarah FELDMILLER, Auteur ; Todd MILLER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.334-344 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Elementary school  Recess  Social skills  Communication  Peer mediation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Recess plays an integral role in the social and emotional development of children given the time provided to engage in interactions with others and practice important social skills. Students with ASD, however, typically fail to achieve even minimal benefit from recess due to social and communication impairments as well as a tendency to withdraw. Implementation of evidence-based interventions such as peer-mediated social skills groups, are necessary to ensure recess is an advantageous learning environment for students with ASD. A multiple-baseline design across participants was used to determine if a functional relationship exists between a social skills instructional program combined with peer networks with school staff as implementers and increases in level of communicative acts for participants with ASD at recess. Results indicate all participants demonstrated an immediate increase in the number of communicative acts with the introduction of the intervention. Implications for practice are discussed.
