Speaking tools can help children with autism play with other children.
This study was designed to see if children with autism play better if they have a voice output communication aid (VOCA). The three children in the study were aged 3-6 and received only 5 minutes of therapy a day in 19 therapy session over one month's time. The speaking tool was able to help all three children in the study to play with other children. The children learned to play in a normal classroom setting (milieu), but it was enhanced because they got support from their teacher to address their specific weaknesses (enhanced milieu teaching (EMT)). The study did not follow the children over time and across settings.
