Public ISBD [article]  inAutism & Developmental Language Impairments > 8 (January-December 2023) Titre : Reading ebooks and printed books with parents: A case study of children with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Aja MCKEE, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ebook  printed book  word explanation  at-home reading  autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background and aimsEbooks have become a ubiquitous presence in many classrooms today. Yet, empirical evidence on literacy development has not been well produced, especially for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This mixed-method case study aimed to explore how four children with ASD interact with ebooks and printed books with parents at home.MethodsFour children (age 5-7 years) with ASD and their parents read one animated ebook and another printed book over four separate sessions. Parents also explained preselected word meanings to their children. In this mixed-method case study, we examined multiple quantitative and qualitative sources of evidence related to reading with parents at home.ResultsQuantitatively, all four children with ASD learned more word meanings from ebook than from the printed book, and three demonstrated a higher engagement with ebook than the printed book reading. Qualitatively, the majority of parents felt their children's engagement was higher with ebook than with printed book. Children with ASD tend to have tactile-related experiences while reading the printed book and auditory-related experiences during the ebook reading. Qualitative data also demonstrated a particular feature reported to be beneficial in previous research could be distracting for some children with ASD.ImplicationsWhen parents are trained to explain critical word meanings to their children, animated ebooks can effectively improve the meaning-making skills of children with ASD. Findings also highlight the importance of individualized attention when choosing and using ebooks for children with ASD.
