Karşılıklı Taklit Eğitiminin Otizm Spektrum Bozukluğu Olan Çocukların Taklit Edildiğinin Farkına Varma Davranışları Üzerindeki Etkililiği

Öz Bu çalışmada Karşılıklı Taklit Eğitimi (KTE) ile sunulan taklit eğitiminin otizm spektrum bozukluğu (OSB) olan çocukların taklit edildiğinin farkına varma davranışları (TEFV) sıklık düzeyleri üzerindeki etkililiğinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın deseni, tek denekli deneysel desenlerden uyarlanmış denekler arası çoklu başlama düzeyi desenidir. Çalışmaya 26-42 ay aralığında bulunan OSB olan üç denek katılmıştır. Çalışma sonuçları, TEFV türleri açısından bakıldığında, KTE oturumları arttıkça az gelişmiş TEFV davranışları sıklığında kararsız veriler elde edilirken gelişmiş TEFV davranışlarından test etme davranışları sıklık düzeylerinde ilerlemeler olmuştur. İzleme oturumlarında ise uygulama evresinden 2 ve 4 hafta sonra az gelişmiş ve gelişmiş TEFV sıklık düzeylerinde bazı deneklerde düşüşler olduğu, bazı deneklerde ise elde edilen kazanımların kalıcılığının korunduğu gözlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, erken çocukluk döneminde OSB olan çocuklarda OSB olan çocuklarda TEFV davranışları sergileme özellikleri ve KTE teknikleri açısından alan yazın çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır.
