Abstract
Study selection and assessment: Inclusion criteria were the use of a single case design assessing any intervention facilitating AAC use by adults with complex communication needs over 21 years of age. Authors appraised rigor via the use of What Works Clearinghouse (WWC 2020) guidelines, with categorization of does not meet standards, meets standards with reservations, and meets standards without reservations. Studies that met standards with or without reservations were assessed as having no evidence, moderate evidence, or strong evidence of effectiveness, consistent with WWC (2020) guidelines.
研究选择和评估:纳入标准是使用单一病例设计评估任何促进21岁以上有复杂沟通需求的成年人使用AAC的干预措施。作者通过使用What Works Clearinghouse (WWC 2020)指南来评估严密性,并对不符合标准、有保留地满足标准和无保留地满足标准进行了分类。符合标准的研究(有保留或无保留)被评估为无证据、中度证据或有力证据有效,与世界卫生组织(2020)指南一致。
期刊介绍:
Evidence-Based Communication Assessment and Intervention (EBCAI) brings together professionals who work in clinical and educational practice as well as researchers from all disciplines to promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in serving individuals with communication impairments. The primary aims of EBCAI are to: Promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in communication assessment and intervention; Appraise the latest and best communication assessment and intervention studies so as to facilitate the use of research findings in clinical and educational practice; Provide a forum for discussions that advance EBP; and Disseminate research on EBP. We target speech-language pathologists, special educators, regular educators, applied behavior analysts, clinical psychologists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists who serve children or adults with communication impairments.
