Effect of Using an Auditory Trainer on the Attentional, Language, and Social Behaviors of Autistic Children.

Smith, Donald E. P.; And Others

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v15 n3 p285-302 Sep 1985

Two groups of seven autistic children (4-16 years old) wore auditory trainers for specified times. Videotapes were coded for three attentional states (normal, withdrawn, attacking), for verbalization and signing, and for appropriate and acceptable behaviors. Results demonstrated a decrease in time spent withdrawn and increases in signing and in school-appropriate behavior. (Author/CL)
