Abstract

Accumulating studies are documenting specific motivational variables that, when combined into a naturalistic teaching paradigm, reliably influence the effectiveness of language teaching interactions for children with autism. However, the effectiveness of this approach has not yet been assessed with respect to improving speech intelligibility. The purpose of this study was to systematically compare two intervention conditions, a Naturalistic approach (which incorporated motivational variables) vs. an Analog (more traditional, structured) approach, with developmentally similar speech sounds equated within and across conditions for each child. Data indicate that although both methods effectively increased correct production of the target sounds under some conditions, functional use of the target sounds in conversation occurred only when the naturalistic procedures were used during intervention. Results are discussed in terms of pivotal variables that may produce improvements in speech sounds during conversational speech.

  • The literature has identified issues with some aspects of DTT's implementation and outcomes, including slow progress, some practitioners' continued use of aversives, and the potential lack of generalization and flexible application of skills in naturalistic contexts.

    “Moreover, the literature has identified issues with some aspects of DTT’s implementation and outcomes, including slow progress, some practitioners’ continued use of aversives, and the potential lack of generalization and flexible application of skills in naturalistic contexts (Kirkham, 2017; Koegel et al., 1998; Sandoval-Norton & Shkedy, 2019; Schreibman, 2005).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
