Abstract

Proloquo2Go is an electronic augmentative and alternative device (AAC) that aids individuals with speech impairments to functionally communicate needs and desires. AAC devices are common tools used to support individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder to communicate with those around them. Currently, the client, a six year old female diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, primarily uses the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) for communication. Caregivers have recently purchased Proloquo2Go and have expressed interest in the client transitioning from PECS to Proloquo2Go. To teach the client how to use Proloquo2Go, clinicians utilized systematic prompt fading. Clinicians began with a full physical prompt guiding the client to select the button corresponding to an item she expressed interest in and faded the prompt until the client demonstrated the ability to ask for items using her Proloquo2Go independently. Instruction occurred under both contrived and naturalistic scenarios, and the client had generalized this skill to spontaneously asking for items via her Prolouo2Go without any prompting from clinicians. One limitation of this study is the client would express interest in multiple items and select several buttons at once during trials manding for one item, resulting in mistrials due to uncertainty of what the client was truly asking for. This poster presentation demonstrates the importance of prompt fading to build independence in skill acquisition and functional communication training in young clients diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
