An Intervention Study On Peer Interaction In Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder In Inclusive Education

Autism spectrum disorder is a mental development disorder with the core characteristics of social communication and social interaction defects and limited and repetitive behaviors and interest activities caused by brain development defects.At present,our country in two special education promotion plan and the 2017 revision of the regulations on the education for the disabled to guide endeavoring to education development of fusion,a growing number of autism spectrum disorder in children in regular school learning and life,social interaction with peers difficulties lead to peer intercommunication ability is weak,the manifestation of social initiative is poor,high social avoidance and negative pro-social behavior.This study aims to improve the peer interaction ability of children with autism spectrum disorder in inclusive education,so as to promote their academic,life and emotional development.Peer network are interventions that use ordinary children as interveners to provide social support to children with autism spectrum disorders in an integrated environment.It is one of the main forms of peer intervention and has been included in 14 evidence-based practices by the American center for autism research.Peer network are groups that promote the development of peer interaction in children with autism spectrum disorders.What makes it different from other forms of intervention is that it makes full use of the power of peers and conducts group activities with children with autism spectrum disorder by training them as the interveners,so as to improve their ability of peer interaction.Three children with autism spectrum disorder who were enrolled in a normal school were selected as the subjects of the study.Subject Z had three peers,subject Y had four peers,and subject L had five peers.They each formed a peer network.Based on the existing research on the dimension division of peer interaction and the understanding of the basic situation of the three subjects,peer interaction is divided into three kinds of target behaviors:responsive behavior,initiative behavior and sharing behavior,aiming to explore the intervention effect and maintenance effect of peer network on the peer interaction of children with autism spectrum disorder.The data were processed by combining descriptive analysis and statistical analysis,and the experimental results were plotted as a line graph.The visual analysis method was used to analyze the data in the line graph,and the simplified time series C was used to test the significance of the difference.At the same time,the interview data of the teacher in charge and the parents were used as the social validity to support the experimental results.According to the experimental results,the responsive behavior,initiative behavior and sharing behavior of the three subjects all increased significantly in the intervention period,and the overall effect was positively changed in the maintenance period.Based on this,this study draws the following conclusions:1.The peer network has a better immediate intervention effect on peer interaction in children with autism spectrum disorder;2.The peer network has a good intervention and maintenance effect on the peer interaction of children with autism spectrum disorder.Based on the research conclusion,this paper discusses the process,effect and influencing factors of intervention,and puts forward some suggestions for implementing peer network intervention in inclusive education in China in the future.
