Abstract

Fidget toys are recommended as “sensory” tools to improve the attention and performance of elementary students with autism. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how fidget toys affected the visual attention and skill acquisition of elementary students with autism during storybook reading. Provision of fidget toys was compared with a no-fidget baseline using two separate, concurrent single-case research designs. The provision of fidget toys resulted in a decrease in visual attention for some, but not all, participants. Story detail acquisition was not differentiated between conditions for any participants. Results suggest that the provision of fidget toys may not negatively affect students’ acquisition of story details, despite potential decreases in students’ attention to storybook reading.
坐立不安玩具对自闭症小学生故事细节习得及视觉注意的影响
坐立不安的玩具被推荐为“感官”工具,以提高自闭症小学生的注意力和表现。摘要本研究旨在探讨烦躁玩具对自闭症小学生阅读故事书时视觉注意及技能习得的影响。使用两个独立的、并发的单例研究设计,将提供烦躁玩具与无烦躁基线进行比较。提供坐立不安的玩具导致一些参与者的视觉注意力下降,但不是所有参与者。故事细节的获取在不同条件下对任何参与者都没有区别。结果表明,提供坐立不安的玩具可能不会对学生获得故事细节产生负面影响,尽管可能会降低学生对故事书阅读的注意力。
