Research has demonstrated that caregivers' use of intervention strategies can support their children's social engagement and communication. However, it is not clear to what degree caregivers must master the strategies to effectively support gains in social communication, specifically, core challenges such as joint attention language (comments). Twenty-two minimally verbal school-age children with autism received a social communication intervention with caregiver coaching. Through 10 min caregiver-child play interactions at eight time points, significant increase were found in children's spontaneous language. Further, children's spontaneous language was associated with caregivers' implementation. Minimum benchmarks for caregivers' total intervention implementation are discussed.
研究表明，照顾者使用干预策略可以支持他们的孩子的社交参与和沟通。然而，目前尚不清楚照顾者需要掌握多少策略才能有效地支持社交沟通方面的收益，特别是共同注意语言（评论）等核心挑战。22 名患有自闭症的轻度言语学龄儿童接受了有照顾者指导的社交沟通干预。通过 8 个时间点的 10 分钟照顾者-儿童游戏互动，发现儿童的自发语言有了显著提高。此外，儿童的自发语言与照顾者的实施情况有关。讨论了照顾者总干预实施的最低基准。
