本研究探讨了一个名为ABRACADABRA的免费计算机辅助读写程序对自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童阅读准确性和理解能力的影响。ABRACADABRA是一个平衡的识字教学计划，针对代码和基于意义的阅读能力。20名5-11岁的自闭症儿童被分成两组，一组为指导组，另一组为等候组。扫盲教学以1:1的方式在参与者家中进行，为期13周（每位参与者26次）。使用标准化测量方法的教学前后评估显示，与等候名单对照组相比，教学组在阅读准确性和理解方面有统计学上的显著提高，具有较大的效应量。这些发现表明自闭症儿童可能受益于ABRACADABRA识字教学。
This study explored the effects of ABRACADABRA, a free computer-assisted literacy program, on the reading accuracy and comprehension skills of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ABRACADABRA is a balanced literacy instruction program, targeting both code and meaning-based reading abilities. Twenty children with ASD, aged 5-11 years, were assigned by matched pairs to the instruction group or wait-list control group. Literacy instruction was delivered on a 1: 1 basis in participants' homes over a 13-week period (26 sessions per participant). Pre and post instruction assessment using standardized measures revealed statistically significant gains in reading accuracy and comprehension for the instruction group relative to the wait-list control group, with large effect sizes. These findings indicate that children with ASD may benefit from ABRACADABRA literacy instruction.
