Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may have difficulty engaging in cooperative communication during classroom learning center activities with peers. This study examined the effects of using an activity schedule intervention package on the rate of contextually appropriate cooperative exchanges for children with ASD during classroom learning centers. In this study, children with ASD worked together in participant partnerships to complete learning center activities. A nonconcurrent multiple baseline across participant partnerships with embedded reversal components was used to examine the effects of the activity schedule intervention package. All participant partnerships demonstrated increased cooperative vocal exchanges and engaged in some untrained exchanges. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed. • Activity schedules can be embedded into learning center activities to promote cooperative communication. • All participant partnerships engaged in both trained and untrained exchanges. • One participant partnership continued to engage in cooperative communication when we removed the activity schedules. • We were able to fade many of the components of the activity schedules for two participant partnerships.

患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的儿童在与同龄人进行课堂学习中心活动时，可能难以进行合作交流。本研究考察了使用活动日程干预方案对患有ASD的儿童在课堂学习中心进行情境适当的合作交流频率的影响。在本研究中，患有ASD的儿童以参与者伙伴关系共同完成学习中心活动。采用带有嵌入式反转成分的跨参与者伙伴关系的非同期多重基线设计来考察活动日程干预方案的效果。所有参与者伙伴关系都表现出合作性言语交流增加，并且进行了一些未经训练的交流。讨论了对未来研究的启示和建议。
活动日程可以嵌入学习中心活动中以促进合作交流。
所有参与者伙伴关系都进行了训练和未经训练的交流。
当我们移除活动日程时，一个参与者伙伴关系继续进行合作交流。
对于两个参与者伙伴关系，我们能够淡化活动日程的许多成分。
