Using GRM and PECS for improving reading skills in students with autism spectrum disorderNavarro Arana, Cristian Edgardo (Avtor) Calderón Joya, Daniela Ivon (Avtor) García López, Yarly Paola (Avtor) autism spectrum disorderASDglobal reading methodGRMinclusive educationpicture exchange communication systemPECSPROLEC-RThis case study analyzed the impact of GRM and PECS on the reading skills of two children with ASD with severity I and II. A descriptive cross-sectional quantitative approach was used with a pre-experimental, pre-test, post-test, and single-group design. The PROLEC-R Battery was applied before and after using the aforementioned strategies to measure students’ reading ability. Results showed that although both participants improved in the initial and lexical reading processes, only the participant with severity I reached a medium reading level. It was concluded that the used methods were successful, but longer exposure to them will likely yield better outcomes.Univerzitetna založba Univerze v Mariboru20242025-07-29 09:49:05Znanstveno delo94008UDK: [028:376]:616.896COBISS_ID: 214272259ISSN pri članku: 1855-4431sl
