Friendship And Autism: A Multiple Case Study Ecological Exploration Of Student, Teacher, And Peer Factors Relating To The Social Network And Feelings Of Loneliness Of Students With Autism Spectrum Disorder In General Education Elementary Classrooms, Jessica Birdwhistell
Theses and Dissertations--Educational, School, and Counseling Psychology
The number of children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who are being served in the public school system has increased dramatically in recent years. During an increased focus on inclusion within education, research shows that students with ASD educated in the general education classroom generally do not have as many friends as their peers without ASD. However, some students with ASD are found to have more friends than other students with ASD. Therefore, additional research must explore potential factors that may be influencing the success with which students with ASD form friendships within the general education classroom. Using …
Using A Treatment Package To Teach Request Behavior To Young Children With Complex Communication Needs, Kimberly Yates Clayton
Using A Treatment Package To Teach Request Behavior To Young Children With Complex Communication Needs, Kimberly Yates Clayton
Theses and Dissertations--Early Childhood, Special Education, and Counselor Education
Three preschoolers with limited or no verbal language were taught to request preferred objects using an adapted Picture Exchange Communication System (Bondy & Frost, 1998) and elements of peer mediated instruction and intervention (Neitzel, 2008) (PECS/PMII). These two interventions have been established as evidence based practices, but have not previously been taught and implemented by one adult and a preschool child in a preschool classroom. Same-aged peers were the communicative partners for the picture exchange. A teacher served as the facilitator of the exchanges. A multiple probe (days) across participants design was utilized to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. …
The Effects Of Peer Mediated Instruction To Teach Math Skills To Middle School Students, Ellen S. Bloyd
The Effects Of Peer Mediated Instruction To Teach Math Skills To Middle School Students, Ellen S. Bloyd
Theses and Dissertations--Early Childhood, Special Education, and Counselor Education
The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a functional relation between a peer-delivered modified system of least prompts procedure (SLP) and an increase in level and trend of performance on finding the area of polygons or finding the volume of cylinders, spheres, and cones, and could the peer tutor reliably implement the modified SLP procedure with middle school students with mild to severe disabilities. A multiple probe days across participants design was used. Results from this study show that there was a functional relation across students in which students were able to make progress on academic …
The Impact Of Preferred Characters In Teaching Community Sign Reading To Students With Moderate Intellectual Disabilities, Mallory Evans
The Impact Of Preferred Characters In Teaching Community Sign Reading To Students With Moderate Intellectual Disabilities, Mallory Evans
Theses and Dissertations--Early Childhood, Special Education, and Counselor Education
The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of using preferred characters with a constant time delay instructional procedure to teach community sign reading to three students with moderate intellectual disability with the definitions of the signs as non-targeted information. An adapted alternating treatments design was used to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the preferred characters on acquisition of the community signs. Pre- and post- assessments were conducted on acquisition of the non-targeted definitions, as well as generalization of the signs and their meanings. The results indicated that all students learned the target signs and they learned …
A Systematic Review Of Using Weighted Vests With Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Christopher J. Taylor
A Systematic Review Of Using Weighted Vests With Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Christopher J. Taylor
Theses and Dissertations--Early Childhood, Special Education, and Counselor Education
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the current literature on the use of weighted vests with individuals with autism spectrum disorder. A literature review using the What Works Clearinghouse Standards was conducted. The results of the review show that the use of weighed vests with individuals with autism spectrum disorder is not an evidence-based practice.
Using Commercially Available Picture Activity Schedules And System Of Least Prompts To Teach Lego Assembly, Lauren A. Sherrow
Using Commercially Available Picture Activity Schedules And System Of Least Prompts To Teach Lego Assembly, Lauren A. Sherrow
Theses and Dissertations--Early Childhood, Special Education, and Counselor Education
This study investigated effects of commercially available picture activity schedules (PAS) and system of least prompts (SLP) to teach recreation skills to four high school students with Autism Spectrum Disorders and intellectual disabilities using Lego sets. Results were evaluated through a multiple probe across participants design and indicate that a combination of PAS and SLP was effective for teaching the students to build Lego sets. All students improved their ability to build and were able to generalize the skill to novel sets after the completion of intervention. Limitations and implications for future practioners are discussed.
The Effects Of Video Modeling On Social Maintenance Skills With Preschool Children, Rachel Schilling
The Effects Of Video Modeling On Social Maintenance Skills With Preschool Children, Rachel Schilling
Theses and Dissertations--Early Childhood, Special Education, and Counselor Education
We are living in an era of growing technology. Therefore, technology is making its way into classrooms around the nation. A type of technology that is growing in popularity is video modeling. However, there is limited research in the area of effective use of video modeling used in classrooms, especially inclusive early childhood classrooms. Additionally, when the use of technology is investigated it is primarily researched with a certain population of students, specifically students with autism. This study examined the effectiveness of using video modeling to teach social maintenance skills to three preschool children with developmental delays within a preschool …
