The Effects of an Audio Coaching Intervention on Parents' Interactions with Their Children with Autism
Title
The Effects of an Audio Coaching Intervention on Parents' Interactions with Their Children with Autism.
Creator
Oliver, Patricia, Brady, Michael P., Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
Children with autism may present delays in the development of social, communicative and cognitive skills. The behavioral features and patterns of development exhibited across domains can be very distinctive (Volkmar, 1999). This diversity in the expression of autism is what presents the greatest challenge for professionals and parents looking for the most appropriate and effective intervention for this population. Audio coaching intervention is one technology that has been used for over 50...
Show moreChildren with autism may present delays in the development of social, communicative and cognitive skills. The behavioral features and patterns of development exhibited across domains can be very distinctive (Volkmar, 1999). This diversity in the expression of autism is what presents the greatest challenge for professionals and parents looking for the most appropriate and effective intervention for this population. Audio coaching intervention is one technology that has been used for over 50 years to train psychologists, medical interns, pre-service teachers, and parents of children with behavioral challenges (Baum, 1976; Crimmins, Bradlyn, St. Lawrence, & Kelly, 1984; Giebelhaus, 1994; Goodman, Brady, Duffy, & Scott, in press; Hunt, 1980; Kahan, 2002; Korner & Brown, 1952; Lindell, 2001; Werba, Eyberg, Boggs, & Algina, 2006). The intervention consists of a trainee receiving immediate feedback from a coach via a remote radio. However, the application of this technology has never been explored specifically for training parents of children with autism. The present study was designed to examine experimentally the effectiveness of the audio coaching intervention on parents' interactions with their children with autism. Three mothers and their children with autism participated in the study. The mothers received immediate feedback from a coach on prompts designed specifically for their children. Results showed that the audio coaching intervention was an effective medium to teach the mothers how to deliver effective prompts and praise to their children. Results of the intervention also generalized to tasks on which the mothers had never been trained, and maintained well after the coaching was withdrawn. All three children showed an increase in their engagement and completion of independent tasks and routines in their homes after their mothers increased their use of more effective prompts and praise.

Increasing Language Use in Parents of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Title
Increasing Language Use in Parents of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Creator
Honsberger, Christine, Ramasamy, Rangasamy, Florida Atlantic University, College of Education, Department of Exceptional Student Education
Abstract/Description
Research has demonstrated that higher levels of parent language use is correlated with later language use and intellectual development of their children. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) display deficits in social and communication skills. They also demonstrate repetitive and restrictive behaviors or interests. These behavioral deficits and excesses may contribute negatively to language development, as well as parent and child social interactions, and communication exchanges. The...
Show moreResearch has demonstrated that higher levels of parent language use is correlated with later language use and intellectual development of their children. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) display deficits in social and communication skills. They also demonstrate repetitive and restrictive behaviors or interests. These behavioral deficits and excesses may contribute negatively to language development, as well as parent and child social interactions, and communication exchanges. The current study used a nonconcurrent multiple-baseline design to evaluate the effectiveness of behavior skills training (BST) and on-going graphical and verbal feedback on increasing parent language use and child words and utterances. Results of this study demonstrated that BST with on-going feedback was effective in increasing parent language use and child words and utterances above baseline levels for all four parent-child dyads. The dissertation concludes with recommendations for future research.

Promoting daily living skills for adolescents with autism spectrum disorders via parent delivery of video prompting on the iPad.
Creator
Cruz-Torres, Elisa M., Duffy, Mary L., Florida Atlantic University, College of Education, Department of Exceptional Student Education
Abstract/Description
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects one out of every 68 children in the United States. The disorder is characterized by persistent deficits in social communication, social interaction, and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interest, or activities that together limit and impair everyday functioning. Research has shown that the use of visual resources, such as video modeling procedures, can support individuals with ASD to acquire and maintain a variety of daily living skills...
