| Abstract (English): |
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) significantly impacts communicative, social, and behavioral skills, especially in children with Level 3 ASD. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems can help address these challenges. Aided augmented input emerges as an AAC strategy that enhances expression and comprehension through visual and verbal inputs from the communicator. Additionally, the development of information and communication technologies (ICT) has enabled their educational and therapeutic use to support individuals with ASD, providing versatile and accessible tools that facilitate learning, interaction, and skill development. This study aims to analyze the effects of combining aided augmented input with a multimodal ICT support called EC+, compared to ARASAAC paper-based resources, on communicative, social, and behavioral skills. A quasi-experimental design was employed to compare the effects of both resources, including two groups of 6 children each, all with Level 3 ASD. The results showed significant improvements with both resources, but the ICT support proved more effective in the areas of communication and behavior. It is concluded that EC+ offers a more interactive and effective approach to enhancing the overall development of children with ASD, complementing paper-based resources in a valuable and innovative way.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
El trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) afecta significativamente las habilidades comunicativas, sociales y conductuales, especialmente en niños con TEA de Grado 3. Los sistemas de comunicación aumentativa y alternativa (CAA) pueden ayudar a enfrentar estos desafíos. La estimulación asistida del lenguaje surge como una estrategia de CAA que mejora la expresión y la comprensión a través de inputs visuales y orales del interlocutor. Por otra parte, el desarrollo de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) ha permitido su uso educativo y terapéutico para apoyar a personas con TEA, ya que proporciona herramientas versátiles y accesibles que facilitan el aprendizaje, la interacción y el desarrollo de sus habilidades. El objetivo del estudio es analizar los efectos de combinar la estimulación asistida del lenguaje con un soporte TIC multimodal llamado EC+, en comparación con recursos en papel de ARASAAC, sobre las habilidades comunicativas, sociales y conductuales. Se empleó un diseño cuasiexperimental para comparar los efectos de ambos recursos, incluyendo dos grupos de 6 niños cada uno, todos con TEA de Grado 3. Los resultados mostraron mejoras significativas con ambos recursos, pero el soporte TIC resultó más efectivo en el área de la comunicación y del comportamiento. Se concluye que EC+ ofrece un enfoque más interactivo y eficaz para mejorar el desarrollo global de los niños con TEA, y complementa los recursos en papel de manera valiosa e innovadora.
