Changes over time in the language patterns of autistic children and their parents were examined during the course of a home-based intervention programme. Although the language used by parents to their autistic children was not deficient, language modification procedures were found to lead to rapid changes in the verbal interaction between parents and children. Parents in the non-intervention, control group showed little change in their communication style. In the experimental group, but not in the control group, a close relationship was found between increases in the use of language-eliciting utterances by their mothers and improvements in children's socialized language. The pattern of association between parent and child language suggested that the main effect was of the parent on the child but that the extent of the child's language handicap constrained what could be achieved by treatment.
在一项以家庭为基础的干预项目过程中，研究了自闭症儿童及其父母语言模式随时间的变化。尽管父母与自闭症儿童交流时所使用的语言并无缺陷，但发现语言调整程序能使亲子间的言语互动迅速改变。非干预对照组的父母沟通方式变化不大。在实验组而非对照组中，发现母亲使用引发语言的话语增多与孩子社交性语言的改善之间存在密切关系。亲子语言之间的关联模式表明，主要影响是父母对孩子的影响，但孩子语言障碍的程度限制了治疗所能取得的效果。
