本研究评估了一项针对社会沟通和游戏技能的干预措施（推进社会沟通和游戏；ASAP），该干预措施是由公立幼儿园的学校工作人员实施的。随着学校系统中自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童入学人数的增加，确定在学校环境中实施干预措施的有效性和可行性非常重要。在临床环境中，针对社会沟通和游戏行为的干预提高了这些技能，并影响了后来的语言能力。本单例设计研究结果表明，尽快干预对3名ASD学龄前儿童的社交和游戏技能有积极的影响。所有的参与者都表现出目标行为的频率增加或更稳定。社会效度结果为ASD学龄前儿童使用ASAP提供了额外的支持。
This study evaluates an intervention targeting social-communication and play skills (Advancing Social-communication And Play; ASAP) implemented by school staff in a public preschool setting. With increases in enrollment of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in school systems, establishing the effectiveness and feasibility of interventions implemented in school settings is important. In clinical settings, interventions targeting social-communication and play behaviors have increased these skills and impacted later language abilities. Results of this single-case design study indicated the ASAP intervention had a positive impact on social-communication and play skills for three preschoolers with ASD. All participants showed either increases in frequency or more stability in targeted behaviors. Social validity results provide additional support for the use of ASAP with preschoolers with ASD.
