A Parent-Implemented Shared-Reading Intervention to Promote Communication Skills of Preschoolers with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Shared Interactive Book Reading Interventions for Young Children With Disabilities: A Systematic Review

“…Young children with identified DD struggle particularly in the areas of social communication, language, and emergent literacy skills (Akemoglu & Tomeny, 2020;Shevell et al, 2003). As these skills are foundational to later reading, writing, social, and work skills (National Early Literacy Panel, 2008), children with DD should receive interventions that directly address these areas of deficit.…”

“…Throughout this review article, the term "developmental disability/delay" (DD) is used to refer to children who have language delays, who have global developmental delays, who are at risk for developmental delays, and/or who are at risk for developmental disabilities (e.g., ASD, Down syndrome) that impact overall language development and communication skills. The scope of SIBR is broad and includes interactive reading, read aloud, and dialogic reading (DR) practices that aim to enhance engagement and ultimately target children's language and literacy skills (Akemoglu & Tomeny, 2020;Towson et al, 2017). This can be accomplished with an adult reading to an individual child or a group of children across settings (e.g., home, classroom, and library).…”

Effect of a brief online shared reading ıntervention to support communication skills of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

“…SIBR is a naturalistic activity in which families have in their routines. Thus, SIBR is an activity in which adults can promote a child's communication skills (Akemoglu & Tomeny, 2021). In shared reading, the goal is to exchange communication based on balanced interactions between an adult and a child (Akamoglu & Meadan, 2019).…”

“…This makes SIBR a social activity because it is based on adult-child communicative interactions. The adult's role is to engage in a conversation with the child about the story, illustrations and/or the characters presented in the book (Akemoglu & Tomeny, 2021;Coogle et al, 2018). SIBR requires a reciprocal relationship in which a parent and child exchange communication and interact around the storybook.…”

A Parent-Implemented Shared Reading Intervention via Telepractice

“…If the child responded incorrectly or did not respond to Step 4, the parent then models the correct response for the child to imitate and gives the child access to the material without praise. Similar step-based fidelity procedures were adopted in more recent studies and researchers reported that frequency of strategy use without high fidelity is not adequate to elicit responses from children (Akamoglu & Meadan, 2019; Akemoglu & Tomeny, 2021; Meadan et al, 2016). Furthermore, results of systematic reviews also revealed that parents could implement NCT strategies with high rates of fidelity after receiving training and/or coaching (Lang et al, 2009; Patterson et al, 2012).…”
