An observational study was conducted to describe the interactions between a young adult on the autism spectrum and 14 of his inpatient health care providers. Naturalistic video-recordings were taken, and behavioral coding was completed to measure the frequency and type of communication turns taken. The providers took 93% of conversational turns. Most provider turns (76%) were non-obligatory in nature and did not invite the young adult to engage in turn-taking. The young adult only had access to his communication system during one of the 27 interactions (4%); however, when he had access to his system, he demonstrated higher levels of turn-taking. Health care providers should offer patients with limited speech more communicative turns, provide adequate wait time, and ensure communication systems are available during all inpatient interactions. IMPLICATION FOR REHABILITATION: Inpatient health care providers dominated interactions with a young adult with autism and limited speech. Most inpatient health care provider turns did not present an opportunity for the patient to respond. The young adultcould not access his communication system for most interactions. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: case study research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
