Improving Written Language Performance of Adolescents With Asperger Syndrome

Abstract

The effects of a multicomponent intervention involving self-regulated strategy development delivered via video self-modeling on the written language performance of 3 students with Asperger syndrome were examined. During intervention sessions, each student watched a video of himself performing strategies for increasing the number of words written and the number of functional essay elements. He then wrote a persuasive essay. The number of words written and number of functional essay elements included in each essay were measured. Each student demonstrated gains in the number of words written and number of functional essay elements. Maintenance of treatment effects at follow-up varied across targets and participants. Implications for future research are suggested.

Cognitive rehabilitation system for children with autism spectrum disorder using serious games: A pilot study

“…(3) Dedicated Applications: technological tools designed to work in computers, tablets or mobiles, such as communicators [28]. Applications of this type have been used to work on areas affected by autism [29,30] and conditions related to Autism Spectrum Disorder, mainly concentrating on creating applications that help people with autism to communicate through images and sounds [31][32][33]. These systems are widely accepted because they are simple to use and contain very intuitive tools, since they work with everyday items [34].…”

Goal Setting Interventions: Implications for Participants on the Autism Spectrum

“…Three of the 38 studies included participants with ASD (Asaro-Saddler and Saddler 2010;Delano 2007;Todd et al 2010), and notably, all three of these articles included data for either generalization or maintenance of treatment effects over time.…”

“…Gains in excess of baseline were maintained for two of the three participants during the phase. Delano (2007) collected follow-up data at both 1-week and 3-month time frames for three teens with AS. Although a gain in the number of words written was maintained by all three participants at 3 months, the number of functional essay elements was not maintained.…”

Otizmli çocukların eğitiminde yeni eğilimler: videoyla kendine model olma ve etkileri

“…Bu grupta otizmli bireylerle yapılan toplam altı tek denekli çalışma yer almaktadır. Delano (2007) tarafından yürütülen çalışmada Asperger sendromu olan öğrencilerin yazı dili (bir kompozisyondaki toplam sözcük sayısı ve kompozisyonun temel öğeleri) performanslarında videoyla kendine model olma yönteminin etkililiğini değerlendirmiştir. Araştırmanın katılımcıları yaşları 13 ile 17 arasında değişen Asperger sendromu tanısı almış üç erkek öğrencidir.…”
