摘要

Social problem-solving (SPS) is a complex and critical set of skills for self-advocacy. Prior SPS literature has explored the effects of teaching preschool children to identify problems and find a single solution using visuals in contrived scenarios. This study compared the effects of two environmental conditions (solution visuals alone and solution visuals with precorrections) and a no-intervention baseline on three participants’ autonomous SPS during naturally occurring social problems during free play. A single case alternating treatments design was used to compare conditions. Results indicated a clear functional relation between visuals with precorrections intervention condition and improvement in participants’ autonomous SPS. Key findings for researchers and practitioners, future directions, and limitations of the study are explored.
