Peer Interventions for Preschoolers With Autism

Stay-Play-Talk (SPT) Basic and SGD with augmented peer input in which peers are taught to model verbal responses while simultaneously selecting screen icons with spoken peer input only (i.e., peers taught to model language)

SPT Plus with augmented SGD peer input (i.e., peers taught to use verbal language models concurrently while selecting SGD icons).

SPT Advanced adds direct instruction strategies for the children with ASD (i.e., adult prompts, reinforcers, and embedded teaching trials) to increase peer-directed communication.
