Basic facts are overviewed and the impact of AAC on the emergence of natural speech is discussed. In addition, the communicative impairments of persons with ASD are briefly reviewed and the characteristics of ASD that make AAC a logical choice for so many individuals are considered. This section ends with a review of literature specific to AAC use among persons with ASD. The following section, Promoting Effective Practices, presents a series of recommended practices to help guide parents and practitioners in the establishment and implementation of AAC. The section titled Juan's AAC Story illustrates recommended practices through scenarios from the life of one individual. Throughout this manual there are exercises and questions designed to encourage the reader to apply content in real-world ways. Clearly, this work is not an exhaustive resource.

Book Synopsis What AAC Interventions Best Provide Functional Communication for Preschoolers with Autism Spectrum Disorders? by : Maribeth L. Turner
Download or read book What AAC Interventions Best Provide Functional Communication for Preschoolers with Autism Spectrum Disorders? written by Maribeth L. Turner and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Context: Guidelines for best practice for speech and language interventions for minimally verbal preschoolers diagnosed with ASD have not been well established. Objective: To systematically review and analyze the current evidence on AAC and preschoolers with ASD through a hypothetical case study and a systematic review. Data Sources: A systematic review of English language articles using EBSCOhost databases from (2000-2018). Databases included Academic Search Complete, Academic Search Premier, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, ERIC, Health Source: Consumer Edition, Health Source Nursing/Academic Edition, MEDLINE with Full Text, and PsychINFO and were limited to peer-reviewed scholarly publications. Additional studies were identified by hand searching the bibliographies of literature reviews and studies found from the search. Search terms included alternative and augmentative communication or AAC, early intervention” and “autism spectrum disorders or autism or ASD”. Study Selection: Selection included only experimental designs and systematic reviews of moderate to high quality as designated by SCED, PEDRO or PRISMA ratings. Meta-analysis included only single case experimental designs that equivalently compared more than one mode of communication. Data Extraction: The author extracted raw data by modality from the results of the 10 comparison studies and used the TAU-U measure of effect size to meta-analyze the data and identify the most effective modalities. Data Synthesis: Data from the comparison studies indicated high moderate size for the picture exchange communication system Tau = 0.78 [90% CI:0.51, 1.0], high moderate for other picture-based communication modes Tau = 0.77 [90% CI: 0.58, 0.95], moderate for speech generating devices Tau= 0.72 [90% CI: 0.57, 0.84], and very low for manual sign Tau = 0.40 [90% CI: 0.24, 0.65] Conclusions: The evidence reviewed here indicates the best chances of finding a system of functional communication for preschoolers with ASD is to implement a focused, concurrent multi-modal approach involving both trained speech language therapists and natural communication partners (e.g., parents, peers, and teachers).
