Beyond Tier Three: Individualized Levels of Support during Headsprout® Early Reading Instruction for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v52 n5 p2132-2148 May 2022
We previously conducted a series of conceptual replications to parse out which--and to what degree--adaptations and individualized supports were needed for children to access and learn early reading skills using Headsprout®. Here we developed a systematic decision-making process for providing levels of support to individuals with autism who require additional instruction in order to access and/or advance through Headsprout®. Using a series of single-case AB, ABC, and multiple-baseline designs we examined strategies from our previous research and additional strategies iteratively developed during the study on six students with autism, all of whom demonstrated progression through Headsprout® and increased reading skills. We provide practical implications for teachers and suggestions to research these supports with other computer-based programs.
