An Extension of Incidental Teaching Procedures to Reading Instruction for Autistic Children.

McGee, Gail G.; And Others

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v19 n2 p147-57 Sum 1986

Two autistic children (5 and 13 years old) acquired functional sight-word reading skills in a play activity. Ss gained access to preferred toys by selecting toy labels in tasks requiring increasingly complex visual discriminations. Ss showed comprehension on probes requiring reading skills to locate toys stored in labeled boxes. (Author/CL)
