Jennifer Gosselin Hills; Sandy K. Bowen – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2025
This study used an intrinsic case study to investigate how interventions from applied behavior analysis impacted language development, academic progress, and the reduction of severe challenging behaviors for an 8-year-old child who is Deaf and autistic. 3 main themes were identified: language acquisition, behavioral change strategies, and academic…

Ciara L. Ousley; Cindy Gevarter; Sophia R. D'Agostino – Young Exceptional Children, 2024
During their early years, children with autism may not meet the same communication and language milestones as their peers (Wodka et al., 2013). Many children with autism experience language delays and may rely on one-word or phrase speech, rather than using grammatically fluent speech (Anderson et al., 2007; Wodka et al., 2013) that is often…

Lauramarie Pope – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Many children on the autism spectrum struggle significantly in their early language development, entering kindergarten with little or no functional speech (Kasari et al., 2014; Rose et al., 2016). Naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions (NDBIs) are a promising approach for supporting early language and communication development for…

Frazier, Thomas W.; Klingemier, Eric W.; Anderson, Christa J.; Gengoux, Grace W.; Youngstrom, Eric A.; Hardan, Antonio Y. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The present study examined language trajectories and placement outcomes for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) receiving early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI). Language measures were collected at baseline and 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36 months or until exit from EIBI in 131 children with ASD. Growth models estimated overall and…

Sarah Nelson Potter; Danielle Harvey; Audra Sterling; Leonard Abbeduto – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Past research shows that parentally responsive behavior toward the child positively influences language development in both neurotypical children and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including those with fragile X syndrome (FXS); however, most studies have focused exclusively on the mother--child relationship.…

Frost, Kyle M.; Russell, Kaylin; Ingersoll, Brooke – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Although naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions have a sizable and growing evidence base for supporting the development of children on the autism spectrum, their active ingredients and mechanisms of change are not well understood. This study used qualitative content analysis to better understand the intervention process of a…

Au, Angel; Mountjoy, Toby; Leaf, Justin B.; Leaf, Ronald; Taubman, Mitchell; McEachin, John; Tsuji, Kathleen – Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability, 2016
Background: Children with autism spectrum disorder have impairments in social behaviours that require systematic intervention. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cool versus not cool procedure implemented in a small group (dyad). Method: The cool versus not cool procedure consisted of the researcher demonstrating the targeted behaviour…

Jessica S. Akers; Nicole Pyle; Thomas S. Higbee; Daniel Pyle; Kristina R. Gerencser – Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
One of the defining characteristics of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a severe deficit in the area of social communication. Script fading interventions are used to promote language development and are associated with an increase in novel language for individuals with ASD. Sixteen single-case design studies of script fading…

Lyons, Gregory L. – ProQuest LLC, 2017
In contrast to Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI), there are far fewer meta-analyses evaluating Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBIs) (Schreibman et al., 2015). Indeed, Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT)--a prominent NDBI--lacks meta-analytic studies. In the context of developing a line of research on the…

Baker-Ramos, Leslie K. – i.e.: inquiry in education, 2017
The purpose of this teacher inquiry is to explore the effects of signing and gesturing on the expressive language development of non-verbal children. The first phase of my inquiry begins with the observations of several non-verbal students with various etiologies in three different educational settings. The focus of these observations is to…

Guo, Ying; Tompkins, Virginia; Justice, Laura; Petscher, Yaacov – Early Education and Development, 2014
Research Findings: The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the relationship between classroom age composition and preschoolers' vocabulary gains over an academic year and also to examine whether these relations were moderated by classroom quality. In this study (N = 130 children in 16 classrooms representing a subset of all children…

Wood, Chip; Freeman-Loftis, Babs – Education Digest: Essential Readings Condensed for Quick Review, 2012
Positive adult language is the professional use of words and tone of voice to enable students to learn in an engaged, active way. This includes learning social skills. To guide children toward choosing and maintaining positive behaviors, adults need to carefully choose the words and tone of voice used when speaking to them. Learning to use…

Objective: A previously published randomized clinical trial indicated that a developmental behavioral intervention, the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), resulted in gains in IQ, language, and adaptive behavior of children with autism spectrum disorder. This report describes a secondary outcome measurement from this trial, EEG activity. Method:…

Petursdottir, Anna Ingeborg; Carr, James E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
We review recommendations for sequencing instruction in receptive and expressive language objectives in early and intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) programs. Several books recommend completing receptive protocols before introducing corresponding expressive protocols. However, this recommendation has little empirical support, and some…
