Establishing a relation between existing skills and acquisition of communicative responses may be useful in guiding selection of alternative communication systems. Matching and motor-imitation skills were assessed for 6 children with developmental disabilities, followed by training to request the same set of preferred items using exchange-based communication and manual signs. Three participants displayed both skills and rapidly acquired both communicative response forms. Three others displayed neither skill; 1 mastered exchange-based responses but not manual signs, and neither of the other 2 easily acquired either response form.
在指导替代沟通系统的选择时,建立现有技能与沟通反应习得之间的关系可能是有用的。我们评估了 6 名发育障碍儿童的匹配和动作模仿技能,然后对他们进行了基于交换的沟通和手动符号来请求相同的一组首选物品的培训。其中 3 名参与者同时展示了这两种技能,并迅速掌握了这两种沟通反应形式。另外 3 名参与者则没有展示出这两种技能;其中 1 名参与者掌握了基于交换的反应,但不掌握手动符号,而另外 2 名参与者都不容易掌握这两种反应形式。
