Students with autism often show challenges in social communication, particularly in initiating and responding behaviors. While the classroom offers a natural context for peer interactions, few interventions are designed specifically for classroom settings. This study investigated the effects of a classroom-teacher implemented social communication intervention, known as Social Stations, on the initiating and responding behaviors of students with autism. The study was set in an inclusive primary school, with the teacher embedding the intervention into the student's daily literacy lessons. All students with autism showed significant improvements in the targeted behaviors, with improvements maintained over time. This study suggests that social communication interventions can be implemented by teachers as part of a daily classroom program.
患有自闭症的学生在社交沟通方面常常面临挑战,尤其是在发起和回应行为方面。虽然课堂为同伴互动提供了自然的环境,但专门针对课堂环境设计的干预措施却很少。本研究调查了一种由课堂教师实施的社交沟通干预措施,即社交站,对自闭症学生发起和回应行为的影响。该研究在一所融合型小学进行,教师将干预措施融入学生的日常读写课程中。所有自闭症学生在目标行为上都有显著改善,且随着时间推移,改善效果得以维持。本研究表明,社交沟通干预措施可由教师作为日常课堂计划的一部分来实施。
