ABSTRACT

This study attempted to develop, and test the effectiveness of, therapeutic-educational programs based on the behavioral techniquea such as task analysis, shaping, and prompt fading to teach new behaviors to children with severe developmental disorders such as autistic and pervasive developmental disorders. The subjects were four developmentally delayed youn children with the age of 2.0 to 6.0 years. The target behaviors were selected from the areas of language and cognitive development using the diagnostic procedure of developmental behavior checklists (E-LAP and LAP-D). They were: (1) finding a group of objects same to a sample presented by a trainer; (2) completing a 5-piece puzzle; (3) pointing to correct pictures when asked verbally; (4) discriminating the size difference between a long one and a short one. The results revealed that the programed therapeutic procedures designed on the basis of the behavioral techniques such as task analysis, chaining, and prompt fading were highly effective to teach a new behavior to children with autistic and developmental disorders.
