| Abstract: |
Enhanced Milieu Teaching (EMT) is an evidence-based and naturalistic intervention used to improve young children’s language development. Considering the recent trend and guidelines of research for culturally and linguistically diverse children in US, the current study aims to examine the effects of EMT combined with book reading on the English vocabulary acquisition by young English Language Learners with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Replicating the procedures of study by McLeod, Hardy, and Kaiser (2017), two Korean-American children with ASD participated in sessions. Results indicated that the use of the EMT with book reading was effective in teaching target words to each child and the obtained language skills were maintained at high levels. Implications for practice and research are discussed.
