目的 使用分级提示动态评估 (DA) 技术，对 10 名患有严重言语障碍的 3 岁和 4 岁儿童使用 iPad 通信应用程序生成早期句子的发展准备情况进行了评估。评估参与者在 DA 会话中的表现变化，并将 DA 表现与后续干预期间的表现进行比较。方法使用描述性统计来检查不同提示水平和提示支持平均水平的表现模式。 Wilcoxon 符号秩检验用于衡量 DA 会话中的变化。计算相关数据以确定 DA 中的表现对后续干预期间表现的预测效果如何。结果参与者在 DA 中以不同的提示水平成功地产生了目标，其中一些目标比其他目标需要更少的提示。 DA 会话中的表现显着提高，也就是说，在 DA 会话中准确生成目标所需的提示水平降低了。最后，DA 分数与干预期间 4 个目标中的 3 个的表现之间存在中等相关性，4 个目标中的 2 个具有统计显着性结果。结论 DA 为检查使用增强和替代沟通来产生早期表达性语言结构的幼儿的发展准备情况提供了希望。
PurposeThe developmental readiness to produce early sentences with an iPad communication application was assessed with ten 3- and 4-year-old children with severe speech disorders using graduated prompting dynamic assessment (DA) techniques. The participants' changes in performance within the DA sessions were evaluated, and DA performance was compared with performance during a subsequent intervention.MethodDescriptive statistics were used to examine patterns of performance at various cueing levels and mean levels of cueing support. The Wilcoxon signed-ranks test was used to measure changes within the DA sessions. Correlational data were calculated to determine how well performance in DA predicted performance during a subsequent intervention.ResultsParticipants produced targets successfully in DA at various cueing levels, with some targets requiring less cueing than others. Performance improved significantly within the DA sessions—that is, the level of cueing required for accurate productions of the targets decreased during DA sessions. Last, moderate correlations existed between DA scores and performance during the intervention for 3 out of 4 targets, with statistically significant findings for 2 of 4 targets.ConclusionDA offers promise for examining the developmental readiness of young children who use augmentative and alternative communication to produce early expressive language structures.
