An Examination of Practitioners Implementation of Communication Intervention with Students with Complex Communication Needs

Abstract Details

2017, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Educational Studies.
This dissertation investigates ways of training adults to teach students with communication impairments to use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems across a variety of environments. In addition to three stand-alone papers, it will start with an introduction and conclude with a discussion. Chapter 1 will provide the reader with information relating to the background and purpose for the dissertation. Chapter 2 functions as a systematic literature review on the pyramidal training approach used by practitioners who support individuals with disabilities. Chapter 3 is a research study that evaluated a pyramidal approach to training on the rate and fidelity of paraeducator implementation of a communication intervention for school-age children who use AAC. Chapter 4 is a paper written for practitioners that highlights strategies to support the generalization of manding behaviors among students who use AAC. Finally, Chapter 5 provides the reader with future directions and questions that remain after the culmination of this dissertation.
