LAY SUMMARY: Typically, developing children watch movies of social interactions in a reliable and predictable manner, attending faces, gestures, actions, body movements, and objects that are relevant to the social interaction and its narrative. Here, we demonstrate that children with ASD watch such ...

In this study, audiotaped scripts were introduced and then systematically faded to teach four boys with autism to converse with a target adult. A multiple-probe design across participants was used to assess the number of scripted and unscripted interactions during Baseline I, Baseline II, Teaching...
The core diagnostic criteria of autism comprises two symptom domains: difficulties in social interactions and communication (the social domain), and unusually repetitive and restricted behaviour and stereotyped interests (the non-social domain)1. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that these two domains ...

This study used a multiple baseline across participants design to empirically investigate whether paraprofessionals could learn ...
