The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of participation in an integrated play group on the joint atten- tion, symbolic play and language behavior of two young boys with autism. Two 6-year-old twin brothers participated in this study, along with three typically developing girls, ages 5, 9 and 11. A multiple base-line design was used with three phases: no intervention, intervention with adult coaching, and intervention without adult coaching. After being trained, the three typically developing children implemented the integrated play group techniques in 30 minute weekly play group sessions for over 16 weeks. Results indicate that participation in the integrated play group produced dramatic increases in shared attention to objects, symbolic play acts, and verbal utterances on the part of the participants with autism. These increases were maintained when adult support was withdrawn. Implications of these findings for inclusion of children with autism are discussed.
