Abstract

Responsive Interactive Interventions (RII) are play-based strategies ideal for implementation in the natural environment for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This manuscript provides a systematic literature review of caregiver-implemented RIIs used for young children with ASD. Relevant components reviewed include common responsive strategies, methods for delivering information to caregiver participants and supporting them through practice, caregiver and child measures and results, and types of fidelity measures. The current review has led to the creation of a research study focusing on identifying the necessary supports for caregivers to achieve fidelity of implementation and maintain accurate responding when using three RII strategies. The level of supports delivered were based on performance from one session to the next. Two participant dyads achieved fidelity within each curricular lesson. Target accurate and inaccurate responding were achieved with minimal to no supports. However, fidelity criteria for accurate responding was not maintained on previously taught strategies once new strategies were initiated. Target inaccurate criteria was maintained, for both participants, for the duration of the study.
