Abstract

Reading is critically important for an individual to succeed throughout their lifetime (Hudson et al., 2018). Programs such as PAF and other direct instruction methods have been demonstrated to be beneficial to individuals with both ASD and with dyslexia become effective readers (Braun et al., 2017; Shapiro, 1988). If there are children with ASD who would benefit from a multi-sensory system such as PAF, it is crucial for research to establish the evidence of this benefit and for clinicians to utilize it.
