Speech Therapy autism spectrum disorder siblings social skills comics In the present study, six children with autism spectrum disorder and their siblings participated in a joint intervention experience where Comic Strip Conversations (CSCs; Gray, 1994) were utilized as an intervention medium. In their creation of CSCs based on a given social scenario, children were prompted by the experimenter to take on the role of a character, provide the dialogue and emotions, then contribute to the solution to the problem presented in the scenario. Pictures of siblings portraying each panel of the comic were taken and converted to an electronic story using an iPad. Subsequently, the siblings participated in a cooperative game where their engagement in reciprocal and independent turn taking and instances of helping behaviors were analyzed. Caregivers and children shared their perspectives on the intervention experience through semi-structured interviews. Individual differences emerged in children’s game playing behaviors across sibling pairs and sessions. Caregiver satisfaction with the intervention was high and children reported enjoying the intervention activities. Children’s desire to participate in future interventions with their was mixed. Limitations, future directions, and considerations for family-centered practice are discussed. 2020-06-02 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1585561598507285 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1585561598507285 restricted--full text unavailable until 2023-06-01 This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
