Special education Improving Reading Comprehension in Students with Autism| Associating Cognitive Impairments with Reading Comprehension Problems PRESCOTT COLLEGE Bev Santos CoopermanAnnieThis research postulated that the cognitive impairments characteristic of students with high-functioning autism can be associated ...
This literature synthesis examines empirical literature on interventions and measures used in experimental studies of reading comprehension for students with both autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID) or intensive support needs. Eleven studies met inclusion criteria. We present the...
"We really need to close that gap," Solis said. "Conventional reading interventions used in special education classrooms are not bringing the results with children of autism as they are with others." In their most recent study, recently accepted for publication in the journal Focus on Autism an...
Once identified, reading interventions may be implemented. Reading programs for struggling readers can support varying populations of students including: General education students English Language Learners Struggling readers falling below the 40th percentile on reading assessments Because there are potentially ...
Peer-mediated interventions (PMIs) have been established as an evidence-based practice for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), yet few studies of this intervention have included students with ASD considered to be significantly impacted by the disorder. In the present study, a shared-re...
Students’ responses to the single-dose and double-dose interventions were similar over time. Students in all conditions demonstrated particular difficulties with gains in reading fluency. Implications for future research and practice within response to intervention models are provided. 展开 关键...
The purpose of this intervention study was to test the possibility and ability of using story book reading as intervention for children with autism by comparing the development outcome of children with autism with and with out using story book reading as language and social interaction intervention....
Comparing data from multiple assessments gives teachers a chance to adjust instruction and to start early interventions for students who need them. How is phonemic awareness assessed? Readers develop phonemic awareness skills gradually. The earliest skills to develop are often phoneme matching skills, ...
The repeated readings intervention produced the greatest gains in words correct per minute for all four participants. Thus, the present study provides preliminary evidence for the use of academic, stimulus control interventions to increase oral reading fluency in children with high-functioning autism....
Understanding how pre-school factors may predict later reading comprehension ability in children on the spectrum is important to identify children who may be at risk of reading comprehension difficulties in the future and to inform development of early targeted interventions. This initial investigation ad...
