Alternate Assessment Formats for Progress Monitoring Students With Intellectual Disabilities and Below Average IQ: An Exploratory Study / Francesca G. JONES in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 34-1 (March 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 34-1 (March 2019) . - p.41-51 Titre : Alternate Assessment Formats for Progress Monitoring Students With Intellectual Disabilities and Below Average IQ: An Exploratory Study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Francesca G. JONES, Auteur ; Diane GIFFORD, Auteur ; Paul YOVANOFF, Auteur ; Stephanie AL OTAIBA, Auteur ; Dawn LEVY, Auteur ; Jill ALLOR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.41-51 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : As part of standards-based reforms, there is increasing emphasis on ensuring that students with moderate intellectual disabilities (ID), including students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), learn to read. There is also converging evidence that explicit teaching of letter sounds, phonics, and sight words is effective for this population, but that students? responsiveness varies. A critical part of individualizing reading instruction for students with disabilities is the reliable assessment of progress and mastery of reading skills. However, assessment of many students with ID and students with ASD is challenging because of attention, behavioral, and communication issues related to testing situation; therefore, obtaining consistent results often proves to be a difficult task. We hypothesized that alternate assessment presentation formats, as a testing accommodation, would improve the reliability, validity, and consistency of assessment performance. In this study, three different presentation formats?word lists, flash cards, and PowerPoint presentation?were used when administering proximal, curriculum-based reading assessments to determine whether a particular format increased student engagement, reduced the need for prompts, and increased accuracy of identifying known items on the test. While statistical analyses did not support the hypothesis of a format by student effect, visual analysis of the data did suggest that the number of prompts required varied by student as a function of assessment format. Most noteworthy, assessment reliability, estimated with generalizability theory, indicated that reliability increased as a function of format by student.

Developing an Early Reading Intervention Aligned With the Down Syndrome Behavioral Phenotype / Christopher J. LEMONS in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 32-3 (September 2017)

FIDLER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.176-187 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The aim of this project was to develop an early reading intervention for children with Down syndrome based on the related behavioral phenotype. The intervention targeted learning of letter?sound correspondences, reading of decodable and high frequency words, and phonological awareness. We evaluated the feasibility and potential efficacy of the intervention with seven children between the ages of 6 and 8 years who participated in a series of multiple-probe across lessons single-case design studies. Results indicate a functional relation between the intervention and mastery of taught content for three students. Two students demonstrated positive although inconsistent response; two students demonstrated limited learning. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

The intervention, Friends on the Block, includes multiple strands of literacy providing explicit instruction in phonics, phonemic awareness, high-frequency irregular or temporarily irregular words, decoding, vocabulary, oral language, and comprehension. Multiple supports for students with intensive needs are embedded within the intervention, such as specially designed multi-criteria books, extensive scaffolding, and intensive cumulative review. Teachers customize the program to address the varying needs of students. We used single-case multiple baselines across levels of instruction design to assess growth on a measure of reading (words read correctly). Results indicated a positive, functional relation between reading intervention and word reading. Both students also demonstrated modest growth on measures of phonemic awareness, letter-sound knowledge, and word identification from pre- to post-intervention.

Evidence-Based Reading Instruction for Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorders / Kelly J. WHALON in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 24-1 (March 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 24-1 (March 2009) . - p.3-16 Titre : Evidence-Based Reading Instruction for Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kelly J. WHALON, Auteur ; Stephanie AL OTAIBA, Auteur ; Monica E. DELANO, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.3-16 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism-spectrum-disorders reading literacy Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Legislation mandates that all children, including children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), be taught to read in ways that are consistent with reading research and target the five components of evidence-based reading instruction: phonemic awareness, phonics, reading fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension strategies. This review synthesized the literature on reading instruction for children with ASD that encompassed one or more of the five components of reading. The review included 11 studies with 61 participants ages 4 to 17 years. Results indicated that children with ASD can benefit from reading instruction consistent with reading research. Research in this area is still preliminary, and more research is needed to guide practice. Possible directions for future research are provided.
