This study examined the effects of a tactile prompting device (the Gentle Reminder) as a prompt for a student with autism to make verbal initiations about his play activities. A multiphase multielement design was used to assess the effects of the device in prompting initiations toward an adult in three different play contexts. Follow-up probes were conducted during cooperative learning activities with typically developing peers in the student's regular education class. The results suggest that the device serves as an effective, unobtrusive prompt for verbal initiations during play contexts and during cooperative learning activities.
本研究考察了一种触觉提示装置（“温柔提醒器”）对一名自闭症学生就其游戏活动进行言语发起的提示作用。采用多阶段多元素设计，以评估该装置在三种不同游戏情境中对向成人发起互动的提示效果。在该学生所在的常规教育班级中，与发育正常的同龄人进行合作学习活动期间进行了后续探测。结果表明，该装置在游戏情境和合作学习活动期间，对言语发起而言是一种有效且不引人注意的提示。
