In Using Video Visual Scene Displays to Support Vocational Skills Training for Adolescents with Autism and Limited Verbal Speech, for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer case conceptualization, better instructional targets, and stronger generalization, not in abstract discussion alone.

Videos with integrated AAC visual scene displays (VSDs) may provide a solution as they capture dynamic routines that support communication in real settings. This presentation details findings of a study that evaluated effects of video VSDs on the communication opportunities fulfilled and steps completed by four adolescents with autism and minimal speech within a pre-vocational task. The presentation will include pre-intervention and intervention videos to illustrate the performance of the participants. The results provide preliminary evidence that videos with integrated VSDs may serve as an effective means to maximize participation and communication for adolescents with autism in vocational contexts. This assistive technology could reduce dependence on aides and increase opportunities for employment and independent participation in meaningful community activities. Clinical implications and future research directions will be discussed. Scene Displays to Support Vocational Skills Training for Adolescents with Autism and Limited Verbal Speech
