Background Object play is important for the development and learning of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children. It is also a natural context for responsiveness that supports the development of ASD children. Since object play creates a context for responsiveness and responsiveness supports the development of ASD children, the relationship between these two variables should be understood. Aim In this observational study, we longitudinally investigated possible explanatory and predictive relationships between maternal responsiveness and object play development in minimally verbal ASD children. Methods Thirty-one minimally verbal children (30 boys and 1 girl) diagnosed with ASD and aged between 28 and 79 months and their mothers participated in the study. We measured the frequency and diversity of maternal responses during a 15-minute unstructured mother-child play interaction and evaluated object play in two unstructured play contexts. We used a kitchen set in one of the play contexts and a doctor set in the other. Results A positive, moderately significant relationship was found between relational, functional, and symbolic play and follow-in comments, follow-in directives for behavior, and nonverbal responses. Furthermore, follow-in directives for behavior predicted relational play, while follow-in comments predicted functional and symbolic play. Conclusions The findings emphasize that mothers should use more follow-in directives for behavior and nonverbal responses, especially follow-in comments, to support the development of relational, functional, and symbolic play in minimally verbal ASD children. |
