At the same time it is acknowledged that teaching socially valid and functional social behaviors to these students is challenging, especially when the learners are middle-school-age youth with higher-functioning autism and Asperger disorder. These students are well known for their unenthusiastic acceptance of social instruction and use of their newly acquired skill assets in general education and other real world settings. In this connection we describe an innovative and motivating approach for teaching social skills to middle school students with ASD using peer partners.

Use of a Self-monitoring Application to Reduce Stereotypic Behavior in Adolescents with Autism: A Preliminary Investigation of I-Connect / Stephen A. CRUTCHFIELD in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-5 (May 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 45-5 (May 2015) . - p.1146-1155 Titre : Use of a Self-monitoring Application to Reduce Stereotypic Behavior in Adolescents with Autism: A Preliminary Investigation of I-Connect Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Stephen A. CRUTCHFIELD, Auteur ; Rose A. MASON, Auteur ; Angela CHAMBERS, Auteur ; Howard P. WILLS, Auteur ; Benjamin A. MASON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1146-1155 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Self-monitoring  Stereotypic behavior  Technology-based application Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Many students with autism engage in a variety of complex stereotypic behaviors, impacting task completion and interfering with social opportunities. Self-monitoring is an intervention with empirical support for individuals with ASD to increase behavioral repertoires and decrease behaviors that are incompatible with successful outcomes. However, there is limited evidence for its utility for decreasing stereotypy, particularly for adolescents in school settings. This study evaluated the functional relationship between I-Connect, a technology-delivered self-monitoring program, and decreases in the level of stereotypy for two students with ASD in the school setting utilizing a withdrawal design with an embedded multiple baseline across participants. Both students demonstrated a marked decrease in stereotypy with the introduction of the self-monitoring application. Results and implications for practice and future research will be discussed.
