Increasingly students with autism, including those with limited vocal communication, are taught in group instructional arrangements. Yet, within both inclusive and specialized settings students with autism often remain passive participants expected to observe instruction with occasional opportunities to participate or practice. This study compared the effects of two types of group instruction, sequential turn taking and response cards, on opportunities to respond, off-task behavior, academic related vocalizations, and skill acquisition of five elementary students with autism spectrum disorder. By the end of this session, participants will be able to: a) define active responding and describe its impact on learning b) define and compare sequential turn taking and response card instruction c) list the steps of response card instruction d) describe ways these group instructional arrangements can be embedded into inclusive academic instruction c)
