Résumé : |
Background Our purpose in this study was to increase conversations in three young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and co-occurring moderate intellectual disability (ID). First, we used an intervention package consisting of Behavior Skills Training (BST) and Covert Audio Coaching (CAC) to promote acquisition and maintenance of conversations with coworkers. Second, we implemented CAC during naturally occurring opportunities at an internship site. Third, we examined whether the number of self-initiated interactions with coworkers increased during and after acquisition of conversations. Method Three young adults with ASD and co-occurring moderate ID participated in the study. We used a concurrent multiple-baseline design across participants with continuous acquisition probes to evaluate the effects of the intervention package consisting of BST and CAC in producing acquisition and maintenance of conversations and an increase in the number of self-initiated interactions. Results Results demonstrate that the intervention was effective in producing acquisition and maintenance of the target skills in all three young adults. Data also indicate that two of the three participants engaged more frequently in self-initiated interactions with coworkers as their conversational competence increased. Conclusions Findings suggest that the intervention package was effective in promoting conversations and an increased number of self-initiated interactions with coworkers in young adults with ASD and co-occurring moderate ID in the natural environment. Directions for future research and clinical implications for teaching conversations are discussed. |
