Original Title:
Φωνολογική επίγνωση σε παιδιά με Διαταραχή Αυτιστικού Φάσματος
Translated title:
Phonological awareness in children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder
Summary:
In the present study, the phonological awareness of children in the autistic spectrum is studied. The children studied have a developed speech and are able to read and write.
The first part concerns the relevant theory and definitions while the second part concerns the research. The research is qualitative and involves a case study of four people. The research was conducted at a special school in Attica and the participants were four children in the spectrum of autism with a sufficiently developed spoken word.
The results of the research showed that although children have developed spoken language they are not able to understand the syllables of words.
They cannot grasp the syllables and phonics of words and distinguish them. One additional difficulty was that most of the children could not understand what they were asked to do, that is, they could not even understand the pronunciation. But while they understood the guidelines of the exercises they could not perform the exercise and only one child managed to solve the task.
