I have is how does teacher involvement affect the communication and social
interaction of children with ASD in the classroom? I will be measuring the
communication and social interaction of children with ASD in the classroom.
My survey questions will be based on these behaviors of these specific
children and the survey will be administered to their teachers.
Outcomes assessed
I selected an article that did a study to increase social interaction using
prelinguistic milieu teaching with nonverbal school-age children with ASD.
The intervention they implemented was creating a framework for developing
and maintaining social interaction between ASD children and their
communication partners by using play routines (Franco, Davis and Davis,
2013). The results showed that with intervention, all of the children improved
their ability to sustain social interactions, as evidenced by an increase in the
number of communicative interactions during play routines (Franco, Davis
and Davis, 2013). Participants also increased their overall rate of initiated
intentional communication (Franco, Davis and Davis, 2013). They concluded
that development of intentional prelinguistic communication within social and
communication skills to young school-age children with ASD who function at a
nonverbal level (Franco, Davis and Davis, 2013). I selected this article
because if teachers implemented this kind of intervention with their ASD
