Purpose: The purpose of this article is to illustrate the potential of applying augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) intervention through a short-term (2 week), intensive protocol in order to increase the communication behaviors in Chinese-speaking children with autism. In addition, possible cultural factors that may affect the outcomes of AAC intervention were identified.
Method: Our project investigated the feasibility of a 2-week AAC intervention using a 32-location touch screen AAC system designed to support Mandarin Chinese (MC) with nine children with autism spectrum disorder. Mixed model trajectory analyses (MMTA) was used to evaluate changes of the targeted communication behaviors over the course of intervention. A quality assurance survey was completed by eight parents and three speech language pathologists (SLPs) implementing the program at the collaborating hospital clinic in Shanghai, China as a social validation measure.
