Promoting Augmentative Communication During Daily Routines

A Parent Problem-Solving Intervention

University of Judaism

Abstract: The field of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) continues to struggle with issues relating to generalization and maintenance. Current methods of modifying instructional practices and teaching skills directly to the communication partner have contributed to developing successful treatment outcomes. However, few studies have examined AAC in the home setting during daily routines with parents. This study examined whether teaching parents a problem-solving intervention that considered the family's lifestyle would promote child spontaneous picture card use and parent-provided communication opportunities during daily routines. Data were collected in the context of a multiple baseline design across child and parent behavior. The results showed increases in the child's use of cards and in the parent's use of communication opportunities across multiple routines, parent and child behavior maintenance over time, and increases in the parent's perception of their child's communication skill and of their own ability to promote communication. The findings support the use of a problem-solving intervention that incorporates the family's lifestyle as a method to promote augmentative communication during daily routines.
