RESULTS
Facial Orientation when Child Speaks (NO, GO)
Figure 1 displays Amy's verbalizations with glance orientation (GO) and her
verbalizations with no orientation (NO) when she spoke across social questions (top and
second from the bottom graph) and pretend play (second from the top and bottom graph)
with her therapist (upper portion) and grandmother (lower portion). The ordinates
display responses per minute, calculated by dividing the total number of a given facial
orientation category by the number of minutes in the session (5 min). The abscissas
display 5 min observation sessions across an 11 month period. The closed circles
represent Amy's rates of GO when she spoke and the open circles represent Amy's rates
of NO when she spoke. Figure 2 shows Amy's rates of GO and NO when the adult
spoke.
Figure 1 shows that in general, low rates of GO and high rates of NO are observed
in the first baseline conditions. For social questions in baseline with both therapist and
grandmother, Amy's GO rates were M= 1.75 (range 0 to 3.80) and her NO rates were M=
4.76 (range 1.60 to 9.40). For pretend play in baseline with both therapist and
grandmother, Amy's GO rates were M= 2.96 (range 1.00 to 5.80) and her NO rates were
M= 5.64 (range 0.60 to 9.80).
Following implementation of the intervention, her GO rates increased and her NO
rates decreased in both types of activities with both interaction partners. Both activities
with the therapist (top two graphs) show sharp initial increase with fairly stable GO rates21
