Researchers to discuss synthesis of studies on comprehension interventions for students with autism

MCPER researchers Lisa McCulley and Farah El Zein will explore their synthesis of reading comprehension interventions for students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) at a brown bag presentation on October 2. “Reading Comprehension Interventions for Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Synthesis of Research” will be held from noon to 1 p.m. in the Pittenger Room (SZB 418). To RSVP, send an e-mail with “Autism” in the subject line to rsvp@meadowscenter.org.

The authors synthesized reading intervention studies conducted between 1980 and 2012 with K–12 students identified as having ASD. Nine single-subject design studies, one quasi-experimental study, and two single-group design studies met criteria for inclusion. Findings indicate that modifying instructional interventions associated with improved comprehension for students with reading difficulties may improve reading comprehension in students with ASD.
