Abstract

This study evaluated acquisition, preference, and generalization of two forms of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) during functional communication training (FCT) with two students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Acquisition of FCT responses, using a picture-based communication system and speech-generating device (SGD; Apple iPod Touch with the Proloquo2Go), was compared. Following acquisition, preference of response mode was evaluated for each participant. Both AAC systems were made available simultaneously during FCT sessions, and data were collected on participants’ initiation of functional communication (FC) on each modality. Findings indicated FC responses with the picture-based communication system and the SGD were acquired with similar rates by both participants. Furthermore, both participants demonstrated a consistent preference for the SGD as compared with the picture-based communication system. Both participants generalized the preferred FCT mode (i.e., SGD) to their classroom setting with their classroom teacher. Results indicate it is important to assess both acquisition efficiency and preference when selecting AAC systems for individuals with autism.

自闭症学生在功能性沟通训练中的反应模式比较:习得与偏好的效果

本研究评估了两名自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）学生在功能沟通训练（FCT）期间对两种形式的增强和替代沟通（AAC）的习得、偏好和概括。比较了使用基于图像的通信系统和语音生成设备（SGD；Apple iPod Touch和Proloquo2Go）获取FCT响应的情况。采集后，对每个参与者的反应模式偏好进行评估。在FCT会议期间，两个AAC系统同时可用，并收集了参与者在每种模式上启动功能沟通（FC）的数据。研究结果表明，两名参与者对基于图片的通信系统和SGD的FC反应的获得率相似。此外，与基于图片的通信系统相比，两位参与者都表现出对SGD的一致偏好。两位参与者都将首选的FCT模式（即SGD）推广到他们与课堂老师的课堂环境中。结果表明，在为自闭症患者选择AAC系统时，评估获得效率和偏好是很重要的。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
