Overview

This longitudinal study shows a reading intervention improves skills in students with autism and intellectual disabilities, suggesting potential in augmentative communication strategies.

Key Points

  • Most students demonstrated an increase in early reading competence, with some developing phonological reading skills over time.
  • While significant results were found for sound blending, evidence for overall effectiveness of the intervention phase is limited.
  • The study utilized single-case designs to measure outcomes for 40 students aged 6 to 14 using augmentative communication.
  • Given the sample's heterogeneity, individualized assessments are crucial for understanding each student's reading development.
