Various treatment methodologies have been demonstrated to be efficacious in instructing learners with autism; however, there is no universal method of treatment, since no single treatment method has been proven to ameliorate the multifaceted symptoms of autism entirely (Lovaas, 1987). This chapter discusses the results of a qualitative study that investigated the functional validity and instructional implications of the implementation of a potential hybrid Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)/Applied Verbal Behavior (AVB) and Apple tablet technology-infused model of instructional intervention targeting the initial language development of two speech- and language-impaired learners with autism. Research was conducted in an attempt to determine whether the hybrid model was operational and effective in teaching verbal behavior skills. Data collection results and observational anecdotal notes indicate that the Apple iPad-infused hybrid model of instruction was operational and more effective in teaching verbal behavior skills than the traditional paper-based instructional method. Furthermore, participants of the study were able to successfully generalize the hybrid model's Discrete Trial Training (DTT) discriminative stimulus targets in diverse natural settings.

Speech And Language Disorders

The familial transmission of speech and language disorders was investigated using a community sample of five year old children with speech and/or language impairment and a control group with normal language skills. The results indicated a significantly higher prevalence rate of language-related problems in families of speech and language impaired children than in normal language controls. Girls with speech/language impairments had more affected relatives than boys, suggesting that girls with this type of family history are at a greater risk of developing speech or language related problems. The pattern of transmission of speech and language disorders was also compared with published reports of the family histories of stuttering and reading disabilities, and with reports of cognitive and linguistic deficits among families of autistic individuals. The findings are discussed in relation to the theory of an underlying neurolinguistic diathesis common to these various disabilities.

Conversational Partner

The purpose of this study was to describe preschoolers’ conversational responsiveness in an integrated classroom setting. Variables of primary interest were the types of responses as a function of the conversational partner. The children were categorized according to language ability: normally developing, marginal (children previously diagnosed as language or speech impaired, but now functioning within the normal range), language impaired (LI), and speech impaired (SI). They were observed during free play. Differences in response types were apparent between groups with both adult and peer partners. LI and SI children were ignored by their peers and responded less often when a peer initiated to them. Hence, they participated in proportionately fewer peer interactions. These results suggest that peer interaction difficulties may be concomitant consequences of early speech and language impairments. Clinical implications for verbal interactive skill intervention, particularly with peers in classroom settings, are discussed

This study explored the effects of oral communication and demographic characteristics on intervention receipt. Oral communication characteristics included speech-sound production and receptive and expressive language status. Demographic characteristics included race, sex, residential strata, and neighborhood income level. With regard to speech-sound production and language, 1,929 kindergartners were divided into four speech-language subgroups: speech impaired only, language impaired only, speech and language impaired, and normal in both speech and language. In terms of expressive and receptive language modalities, the group of children was divided into four expressive-receptive subgroups: expressive impaired only, receptive impaired only, expressive and receptive impaired, and normal in both expressive and receptive language. Associations of speech versus language and expressive language versus receptive language with intervention receipt were examined in both categorical and continuous manners. Results showed that speech had a stronger effect on intervention receipt than language, but that this difference could not be explained by the effect of speech on social and academic functions compared to that of language. Expressive language had a stronger effect on intervention receipt than receptive language (when treated as continuous variables). This also could not be explained by the effect of these variables on social and academic function. These results suggest that the current referral and service delivery system depends on communication characteristics that are expressive and, thus, most readily observable. This referral and service delivery approach, however, fails to identify children that have the greatest social and academic risks. Methods of reversing this trend were discussed. Among all demographic variables examined, only sex is related to intervention receipt, that is, boys were more likely to have received intervention.

Impaired Speech

The jargon utterances of two groups of two subjects each, group A, children with normal speech and language development, and group B, children with delayed or impaired speech and language development, were recorded and transcribed. The data were divided into meaningful and non-meaningful categories. The former were analysed into morphemes in terms of distinctive features and phonemes. All subjects were, found to have essentially similar distinctive features, phonemes and morpheme structures with minor exceptions. Intonation varied: group A used more sentence intonation, whereas group Β used more word intonation. Word approximations, standard and self-language words were found in all subjects. It was concluded that jargon appears to be a fusion of early phonological development and phonetic attempts, and that no significant difference exists between the two groups.

The provision of certain information regarding the surface layer of the equipment parts is one of the critical issues for the modern mechanical engineering. The development of new technologies of protective-strengthening treatment of critical parts surface requires the development of improved methods for surface layer material state assessment as a result of high-energy impact typical for ion-plasmatic, ion-implantation and combined treatment method. Moreover, the peculiarities of industrial mechanical engineering production require the development of simple and efficient methods of surface layer parameters checkout. The application of protective coatings complicates the use of universal method of the parts surface layer parameters assessment. The present article is devoted to the development and studying of a new method for the parts surface layer state assessment after its treatment of various types, including the protective-strengthening technologies and the application of protective coatings. The specific features of the proposed assessment method are its simplicity, reliability, and universality.
