This study examined the effectiveness of Sensory Stories on "circle time" behaviors in preschool children with autism. This single-system ABA design with a convenience sample of four participants consisted of one week for each A phase and two weeks for the B phase. The intervention phase (B) consisted of reading a Sensory Story from one to three times per day to each child. Three children had a positive change in their behavior after reading a Sensory Story. The fourth child also showed a positive change in his behavior; however, behaviors were already improving during baseline, making interpretation difficult. Further research is suggested to determine the effectiveness of Sensory Stories with other age groups and populations.
本研究考察了感官故事对自闭症学龄前儿童“圆圈时间”行为的有效性。这项单系统ABA设计采用了由四名参与者组成的便利样本，每个A阶段为期一周，B阶段为期两周。干预阶段（B）包括每天给每个孩子读一到三遍感官故事。三个孩子在阅读感官故事后行为有积极变化。第四个孩子的行为也有积极变化；然而，其行为在基线期就已开始改善，这使得结果难以解释。建议进一步开展研究，以确定感官故事对其他年龄组和人群的有效性。
