摘要：
The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the effects of a modified reciprocal imitation training (RIT) on the imitation skills of children with autism. Two parents were trained and coached to use the modified RIT with their young children with autism in home settings. The modified RIT was composed of contingent imitation, descriptive language, object imitation, and gestural imitation strategies. A multiple baseline design across strategies was used to examine the parents’ competence in learning and implementing the modified RIT. Results indicated that both parents learned to use the intervention strategies, and children showed improvements in their imitation skills.
