The effect of sensory stories on targeted behaviors in preschool children with autism
Abstract
This study examined the effectiveness of Sensory Stories on "circle time" behaviors in preschool children with autism. This single-system ABA design with a convenience sample of four participants consisted of one week for each A phase and two weeks for the B phase. The intervention phase (B) consisted of reading a Sensory Story from one to three times per day to each child. Three children had a positive change in their behavior after reading a Sensory Story. The fourth child also showed a positive change in his behavior; however, behaviors were already improving during baseline, making interpretation difficult. Further research is suggested to determine the effectiveness of Sensory Stories with other age groups and populations.
