Comparing iPad® and Paper Assessments for Children with ASD: An Initial Study
Marble-Flint, Karissa J.; Strattman, Kathy H.; Schommer-Aikins, Marlene A.
Communication Disorders Quarterly, v40 n3 p152-155 May 2019
iPad® and paper versions of a receptive vocabulary assessment were administered to 4- to 6-year olds with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). No differences were found between scores on the two assessments. Standardized testing for children with ASD can be challenging; however, testing using the iPad® may offer a different avenue as it provides visual input that appears to be motivating. Findings suggest iPad® assessments offer an efficient format for itinerant speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and SLPs providing telepractice when creating individualized evaluation plans.
