Experimental Treatment

Group I: Stay-Play-Talk with iPad InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Peers without disabilities will be taught to be active communication partners using an iPad with voice output app as a speech-generating device, then paired up to play with one child with ASD for 16 sessions over 8 weeks. Focal child behaviors are assessed in different pre-treatment contexts (i.e., eye tracking, structured play, and naturalistic classroom settings), and rate of communication will be collected to predict gains children make in social communication with peers after treatment.
