Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of a novel initiation model on initiating behavioral requests in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). MethodsFrom November to December, 2022, 44 children with ASD were selected from Jiaxing Sunlight Rehabilitation Kindergarten, and divided into prelinguistic group (n = 23) and linguistic group (n = 21) according to the language function. The initiation-requested skills, and types and frequency of initiation-requested behaviors were observed under the novel initiation model and the conventional initiation model. ResultsBoth the groups scored higher in the novel initiation model than in the conventional initiation model for initiation-requested skills (|t| > 2.794, P < 0.05) and types of initiation-requested behaviors (|t| > 3.697, P < 0.01), and it increased for the frequency of the use of two- and three-behavioral initiation of requests (χ2 > 7.986, P < 0.05). ConclusionThe novel initiation model can improve initiation request skills in children with ASD.
