![]() A multiple baseline across behaviors design was employed to assess the effectiveness of Proloquo2Go TM in enhancing tacting, manding, and verbal completion during Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapeutic sessions for both groups. Three participants (Group 1) scored low (2, 7, and 8 on the MIS 1 on the CSBS and Level 1 on the VB-MAPP), and two participants (Group 2) scored mid-range (18 and 20 on the MIS 3 on the CSBS and Level 2 on the VB-MAPP) on assessments of joint attention, constructive play, and motor imitation. Prior to the study, participants were assessed using the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP), the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales (CSBS) Joint Attention and Constructive Play subscales, and the Motor Imitation Scale (MIS). Participants included five children between the ages of three and four years old diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and with low to moderate receptive and expressive language skills. This study examines the effectiveness of the Proloquo2Go TM app delivered via iPadĀ® to enhance the tacting, manding, and verbal completion repertoires of children with autism. The iPadĀ® with the Proloquo2Go TM app is a multilingual Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) solution designed to assist people who have difficulty speaking or cannot speak at all. ![]() ![]() Autism is a bio-neurological developmental disorder presenting in early childhood that has a profound effect on an individual's ability to communicate.
