  • Title: Increasing autistic children's daily spontaneous speech.
    Author: Charlop MH, Trasowech JE.
    Journal: J Appl Behav Anal; 1991; 24(4):747-61. PubMed ID: 1797777.
    Abstract:
    We investigated the effectiveness of teaching parents of 3 autistic boys to use a time delay procedure to increase their children's appropriate spontaneous speech in several naturally occurring daily settings (e.g., saying "good morning" in the morning). Generalization across settings and within settings across persons and locations was assessed. Variation in the children's spontaneous speech was also assessed. In addition procedural errors in the parents' use of time delay were calculated. Results indicated that all children increased their daily spontaneous speech and generalized their speech to other locations and persons.
