简要总结
The goal of this study is to develop a sensory based narrative intervention and see its effect on vocabulary development in children with autism spectrum disorder. Sensory based narrative intervention will be developed, and participants of experimental group will be given this treatment for 6 weeks. Control group participants will be given only narrative intervention. Vocabulary improvement will be documented pre-post testing in both groups.
详细描述
The present study aims to bridge an existing gap in the literature in Pakistan, as there are no evidence based therapeutic intervention tools available for narratives in Urdu.
The study further aims to provide a interventional resource pack for bilingual population who has Urdu as their first and dominant language. There is no therapeutic tool available for intervention that has incorporated multimodal sensory input for language intervention. Since tools developed internationally and from other countries cannot be incorporated due to cultural sensitivity and linguistic complexity, therefore, the current study will be able to incorporate these limitations. This study will provide a novel resource for intervention in the context of Pakistan.
