Abstract Details

2016, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Educational Studies.
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often have deficits in social and communication skills. These skills can include verbal behavior such as tacting, manding, and intraverbal behavior. Research suggests that intraverbal behavior can be taught using echoic to intraverbal transfer-of-control procedures. Researchers have demonstrated that peer-mediated interventions can be successfully used to teach students with ASD social and communication skills. This study used a multiple probe across participants design to determine if a peer with ASD could be trained to implement an echoic to intraverbal transfer-of-control intervention, and if that intervention would be effective in increasing intraverbal behavior in students with ASD. Results indicate that the peer effectively implemented the intervention, and that the target students learned and maintained intraverbal behavior. The paper will also discuss implications and direction for future research, including testing for generalization of skills, additional intraverbal interventions that can be implemented, and using peers to teach more complex intraverbal skills.
