Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the Power Card strategy on the receptive vocabulary and expressive vocabulary in children with autism spectrum disorders. Method: Three children with autism spectrum disorder were selected for this study and the power card strategy language intervention was applied, using a multiple baseline design across individuals. The target vocabulary was selected by examining the individual preferred characters. Power cards were constructed, and intervention was applied to improve the receptive vocabulary and expressive vocabulary through the baseline stage, intervention, and maintenance. Result: The application of the power card strategy showed that the acquisition rate of receptive vocabulary in children with autism spectrum disorder was increased, and expressive vocabulary acquisition rate was also improved. Conclusion: During the intervention period using the power card strategy, the children's target receptive vocabulary and expressive vocabulary acquisition rates improved, and the acquisition rate was maintained, even after the intervention. This suggests that the power card strategy is effective in improving the vocabulary of autistic children with disabilities, of school age.

목적: 본 연구는 자폐범주성장애아동을 대상으로 한 파워카드 전략이 이들의 수용어휘 및 표현어휘 향상에 미치는 효과에 대하여 알아보고자 실시하였다. 연구방법: 연구 참여 대상자는 3명의 학령기 자폐범주성장애아동을 선별하였으며, 대상자 간 중다기초선설계를 적용하여 파워카드 전략 언어 중재를 시행하였다. 대상자 개별 선호캐릭터를 조사하여 목표어휘를 선정하고 파워카드를 제작하여 기초선 단계, 중재 단계, 유지 단계를 거쳐 어휘력 향상을 위한 중재를 적용하였다. 결과: 파워카드 전략의 적용으로 자폐범주성장애아동의 수용어휘 습득률이 증가하였고, 표현어휘 습득률 역시 향상되는 결과가 나타났다. 결론: 자폐범주성장애아동이 선호하는 캐릭터를 조사하여 각 대상 아동에게 적합한 파워카드 전략을 계획하고 적용함으로써 대상 아동들에게는 강한 동기가 형성되고, 반복적이고 체계적 반복 연습을 통하여 중재 기간 대상 아동의 수용어휘 습득률 및 표현어휘 습득률이 향상되었으며 중재 이후 유지 단계에서도 습득률이 유지되었음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 파워카드 전략이 학령기로 접어든 자폐범주장애아동의 어휘 향상에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.
