Communication skills are a vital part of an individual's way of life. However, children with autism often display a delayed ability to acquire communication skills, if any are acquired at all. Skinner (1957) presented an analysis of verbal behavior and suggested that teaching each verbal operant (e.g., mands, tacts, and echoics) independently from one another is the ideal way to train communication skills. Furthermore, because mands specify the desired reinforcer, it is the ideal operant to focus on first during communication training. A procedure was developed to teach mands to children with autism who exhibited limited verbal abilities, using both picture exchange and sign language, in an effort to determine which communication training results in the quickest acquisition. Moreover, the method each participant preferred to use in his or her natural setting when both modalities were available concurrently was also evaluated. Results suggest that for two participants, both methods were acquired quickly. For these two participants, sign language appears to be the preferred method when both are available concurrently. The third participant acquired picture exchange slightly faster than sign language, and initially used this method more often when both were available in the natural setting. Results are discussed in terms of efficiency and preference for each modality. Suggestions for future research are discussed.
