A Parent-Implemented Intervention to Improve Imitation Skills
by Children with Autism: A Pilot Study
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.
