One of the defining characteristics of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a severe deficit in the area of social communication. Script fading interventions are used to promote language development and are associated with an increase in novel language for individuals with ASD. Sixteen single-case design studies of script fading interventions were synthesized between the years of 1993 and 2013. Results of the reviewed research indicate that script fading is used with children ages 2 through 15, with the majority of studies conducted in clinical settings. We conclude that script fading is an empirically supported treatment (What Works Clearinghouse 2014) and is an evidence-based practice (Wong et al. 2013). Implications and future directions for research are proposed.
