“…Several studies have demonstrated effects of SSP on the vocalizations of typically developing children (Smith, Michael, & Sundberg, ), children with language delays (Sundberg et al, ; Yoon & Bennett, ), and children with ASD (e.g., Esch, Carr, & Grow, ). However, several other studies with participants with ASD have reported mixed outcomes (Miguel, Carr, & Michael, ; Rader et al, ; Yoon & Feliciano, ) or null effects (Carroll & Klatt, ; Esch, Carr, & Michael, ; Normand & Knoll, ; Stock, Schulze, & Mirenda, ). Collectively, the literature suggests that SSP does not reliably affect vocalizations of children with ASD, perhaps because speech sounds are not reliably established as conditioned reinforcers for children with ASD (Petursdottir, Carp, Matthies, & Esch, ).…”
