Abstract
Limited published literature exists demonstrating functional relations between idiosyncratic responses or augmentative alternative communication (AAC) and social reinforcement for individuals with Rett syndrome. In this study, six females with Rett syndrome ages 2-25 demonstrated requesting for preferred items using both idiosyncratic responses (e.g, looking, reaching) and AAC (e.g. single response microswitches). Researchers connected remotely via telehealth to coach caregivers to implement all sessions in home environments. Researchers individualized response prompt delays during AAC sessions (request/mand training) based on each participants' latency to respond during baseline. Implications for practice and directions for future research are discussed.
