Using Teacher-Implemented Instruction to Increase Language Intelligibility of Children with Autism

Abstract

Abstract: This study examined the feasibility of an intervention using naturalistic language teaching procedures for communication problems of individuals with autism conducted by the child's general education teacher in collaboration with the child's language clinician. The results of a multiple baseline study across children indicate successful implementation of naturalistic language teaching procedures in the school settings by all general education teachers and improved intelligibility of the language skills of all the children with autism in generalized spontaneous language use. These results are discussed in terms of previous research demonstrating the effectiveness and benefits of naturalistic teaching procedures and in terms of the implications for educational practices involving children with autism.
