La estimulación de la operante intraverbal en un caso con Trastorno del Espectro Autista del cuarto “B” de la Unidad Educativa Especial “Agustín Cueva Tamariz”

Abstract

This research provides an answer to a learning problem identified during practicum in order to answer the research question: How to stimulate the intraverbal operant of a student with Autism Spectrum Disorder from Agustin Cueva Tamariz school? From this, the main objective is to propose a speech therapy intervention strategy for the stimulation of the intraverbal operant based on the contributions of Behaviorism and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). To achieve this goal, the hermeneutic-interpretive approach and the Case Study methodology were assumed, through different techniques, collection tools and data analysis procedures within the qualitative approach. These are direct observation, interview, theoretical triangulation, data triangulation and methodological triangulation, which allowed to characterize the current state of the intraverbal operant in the subject of study. As a result, an intervention strategy was designed, consistent with the needs and abilities of the student, in order to promote an effective stimulation of the intraverbal operant.
