摘要
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Power Cards on the initiation and maintenance of conversational skills in students with Asperger syndrome. Three high school students with Asperger Syndrome participated in this study. Power Cards were used to prompt students' previously learned conversational skills in a multiple-baseline design across students. Results can be interpreted to conclude that there was a functional relationship between use of Power Cards and the percentage of time students engaged in conversations that focused on the interests of their conversational partners. Power Cards are inexpensive, easy to make, and may be useful for high school students with Asperger Syndrome.
