This study investigated the effectiveness of iPad-presented social stories in increasing the on-task behaviour of three young children with autism.
A single-subject with multiple baseline across participants design was employed with three 4-year-old children to assess intervention effectiveness during structured table top activities. Observational data were digitally recorded, scored, graphed, and interpreted using 10-second interval measures over 5-min periods across baseline, intervention, and withdrawal phases.
The combination of the social story together with the iPad proved to be an effective intervention for one of the three child participants. These findings confirm that the intervention may be effective with some children, but not others.
Overall, this study builds on existing research that supports social stories as a promising practice. Further research into the use of iPad-presented social stories, particularly for children of varying ages, abilities, and learning styles is recommended.
本研究调查了以iPad呈现社交故事对提高三名自闭症幼儿任务执行行为的有效性。
采用针对参与者的多基线单受试者设计，对三名4岁儿童进行研究，以评估在结构化桌面活动期间的干预效果。在基线、干预和撤药阶段，通过在5分钟时间段内以10秒间隔进行测量，对观察数据进行数字记录、评分、绘图和解释。
社交故事与iPad相结合被证明对三名儿童参与者中的一名是有效的干预措施。这些发现证实，该干预措施可能对一些儿童有效，但对另一些儿童无效。
总体而言，本研究建立在现有研究基础之上，这些研究支持社交故事是一种有前景的做法。建议进一步研究以iPad呈现社交故事的应用，特别是针对不同年龄、能力和学习风格的儿童。
