Augmentative and Alternative Communication for A Non-verbal Preschool Child with Autism: An Intervention in Practice

运用指点等肢体语言辅助沟通干预训练一名无语言孤独症幼儿需求表达行为。在观察、访谈、评估的基础上,制定干预实践步骤,采用单一被试倒返设计方法,应用包括手指、点头和沟通板等辅助沟通方法进行为期一学年干预训练。研究结果显示,该幼儿使用肢体语言或沟通板表达要求行为的次数有明显增加,人际互动能力得到了较大的提高。

This study used gestures such as pointing to train and improve the expressive behavior of a non-verbal preschool child with autism. Based on the observation,interview and assessment on the child,a single subject with reversal design was conducted, including alternative communication such as pointing, nodding and communication board in the duration of a school year of intervention. The research shows that the child’s ability to express demands is improved significantly through body language and communication board,and thus the social-communication ability of the child is greatly enhanced.
