Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 32-2 (June 2017) . - p.93-101 Titre : Comparison of Prompting Techniques to Teach Children With Autism to Ask Questions in the Context of a Conversation Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Matthew G. SWERDAN, Auteur ; Rocio ROSALES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.93-101 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : prompt comparison, conversation skills, question-asking, autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : An adapted alternating treatments design was used to compare the efficacy of echoic and textual prompts to teach three students with autism (ages 8 15) to ask questions related to two pre-selected topics of conversation. Participants were first required to answer questions related to the topics to determine whether accurate responses were within their repertoire. This was followed by a transfer of stimulus control procedure to teach participants to ask relevant questions to the experimenter on the same topics. Probes with a novel conversation topic were conducted in the natural environment with a peer, and follow-up probes were conducted after training. Results indicate questions taught using an echoic prompt were acquired in fewer trials to criterion than questions taught using a textual prompt for two of the three participants. Limitations and implications for future research will be discussed.
