“…Matrix training has been used to teach a range of skills to children with ASD, such as spelling (Kinney, Vedora, & Stromer, 2003), writing and receptive identification of letters and numbers (Axe & Sainato, 2010), play skills (Dauphin, Kinney, & Stromer, 2004;Jung & Sainato, 2013;Wilson, Wine, & Fitterer, 2017), and tacting emotions (Conallen & Reed, 2016). This approach also has been effective in teaching tacting and listener skills to children with intellectual disabilities (e.g., Goldstein, Angelo, & Mousetis, 1987); however, few studies have examined the usefulness of matrix training for expanding the communication repertoire of children with ASD (e.g., Axe & Sainato, 2010;Curiel, Sainato, & Goldstein, 2016;Frampton, Wymer, Hansen, & Shillingsburg, 2016).…”
