  10. Overview of Literature • Out of 18: • IOA 16 (89%) • Treatment Integrity 9 (50%) • Social Validity 5 (28%) • Maintenance 7 (39%) • Generalization 3 (17%)

  11. Overview of Literature • Results • All showed effectiveness of the treatments • 89% showed that data were accurate • 50% assessed procedural implementation • Only 28% assessed clinical significance • In only 39% attempts to maintain the skills • Low generalization

  12. Overview of Literature • Out of 22 studies • Munro Flores, M., & Ganz, J. B. (2007). Effectiveness of direct instruction for teaching statement inference, use od facts, and analigoies to students with developmental disabilities and reading delays. Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 22, 244-251. • Barbetta, P. M., Heron T. E., & Heward, W. L. (1993). Effects of active student response during error correction on the acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of sight words by students with developmental disabilities. Journal of Applied BehaviorAnalysis,26,111-119.

  13. Overview of Literature • Future Research • External validity: address generalization to larger population/groups, participants with various and profound disorders (autism); across settings, other responses • Address maintenance of skills, fidelity of treatments and social validity • Response cards: population with autism; number of questions • Comparison of various instructions (e.g., choral vs. individual responding) • Analysis of teacher skills necessary to conduct a group and use the techniques • Using group format to teach other skills

  14. “Enhanced small group instruction using choral responding and student interaction for children with autism and developmental disabilities”by Kamps, D. M., Dugan, E. P., Leonard, B. R., and Daoust, P. M. (1994). • Why selected this article? • Heavily cited in other studies and ASAT website • The only one on small group instruction/choral responding for children with autism found through PsicINFO • Published in the American Journal on Mental Retardation in 1994 • Online archive starts from 1997 • library

  15. Enhanced small group instruction using choral responding and student interaction for children with autism and developmental disabilities”by Kamps, D. M., Dugan, E. P., Leonard, B. R., and Daoust, P. M. (1994). • Purpose: to compare two small group instructional conditions for students with autism or mental retardation • Importance of question: few studies have demonstrated small group instruction for students with autism

  16. Enhanced small group instruction using choral responding and student interaction for children with autism and developmental disabilities”by Kamps, D. M., Dugan, E. P., Leonard, B. R., and Daoust, P. M. (1994). • Participants: 24 students; age range 5-12; • Selected from 6 classes • 12 diagnosed with autism and 12 with MR • Had comparable developmental characteristics (CA, MA, IQ) • Setting: self-contained special education classes in public school elementary classrooms

  17. Enhanced small group instruction using choral responding and student interaction for children with autism and developmental disabilities”by Kamps, D. M., Dugan, E. P., Leonard, B. R., and Daoust, P. M. (1994). • Instructional tasks • Students assigned to small groups • Taught language and functional skills • Pictures and common objects related to activities, places, and people • 5 basic categories: household items, clothing, food, functional activities/objects, and community places and things

  18. Enhanced small group instruction using choral responding and student interaction for children with autism and developmental disabilities”by Kamps, D. M., Dugan, E. P., Leonard, B. R., and Daoust, P. M. (1994). • DVs • Opportunities to respond, OTR, (teacher statements/prompts and students prompts via interactions) and students’ responding during small groups (collected by frequency counts) • Student acquisition (via weekly curriculum test, a 20-item assessment used on a pre- and posttest basis to determine gains) • Academic responding/engagement time (by systematic observationsusingMS-CISSAR coding system) • Data were summarized in tables and graphs

  19. Enhanced small group instruction using choral responding and student interaction for children with autism and developmental disabilities”by Kamps, D. M., Dugan, E. P., Leonard, B. R., and Daoust, P. M. (1994). • Control condition:“no instruction” pre- and posttests probes at the beginning of each experimental condition • Baseline:instructional condition (teacher taught receptive and expressive language via DTT, modeling, prompting, error correction) • Intervention:enhanced groups instructional condition (choral responding, student-to-student responding, rotation of material every 5 min, random responding - unpredictable call on student)

  20. Enhanced small group instruction using choral responding and student interaction for children with autism and developmental disabilities”by Kamps, D. M., Dugan, E. P., Leonard, B. R., and Daoust, P. M. (1994). • Design: reversal with counterbalancing across classes (BABAB and ABABB); functional relationship • IOA: for 25% of session (low counts/high counts and x 100); IOA during intervention condition > 80% • No treatment integrity • Social validity: consumer satisfaction surveys, 5 out of 6 teachers continued implementation • No generalization • No maintenance

  21. Enhanced small group instruction using choral responding and student interaction for children with autism and developmental disabilities”by Kamps, D. M., Dugan, E. P., Leonard, B. R., and Daoust, P. M. (1994). • Results • Increased OTR • Increased levels of student responding • Higher gains on weekly assessments during enhanced group instruction • Increased levels of academic responding and • Decreases in passive or inappropriate student behaviors during intervention

  22. Enhanced small group instruction using choral responding and student interaction for children with autism and developmental disabilities”by Kamps, D. M., Dugan, E. P., Leonard, B. R., and Daoust, P. M. (1994). • Further Research • Treatment integrity • Maintenance • Generalization • Effects of typical peer inclusion on learning • Comparison to other instructions a
