Reading Enhancements for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (Project READ): A Reading Comprehension Intervention for Students with Autism |
Principal InvestigatorPrincipal Investigator |
Solis, Michael |
DescriptionDescription |
The purpose of this project is to develop a comprehensive reading comprehension and behavior intervention aligned with current research for students identified with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in upper elementary and middle school who display adequate word reading skills and low reading comprehension. Prior research has found that many individuals with ASD have difficulties with reading comprehension, and providing effective reading comprehension instruction is complicated by the unique and challenging behaviors often present for students with ASD during academic instruction. This intervention will be developed to improve reading and behavioral outcomes for these students. |
