The Preschool Inventory of Repertoires for Kindergarten (PIRK)
In the latest issue of Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders there are two papers supporting the use of the Preschool Inventory of Repertoires for Kindergarten (PIRK). One by McGerral et al, and one by Waddington and Reel.
The PIRK is the curriculum and teaching protocol used within CABAS-schools. CABAS – Comprehensive Application of Behavior Analysis to Schooling.
It´s interesting to see well designed research tailored to the use of predefined curriculum and teaching protocol within Behavior Analysis, and the results in these papers and in other published studies produced by professionals within the CABAS are promising. But it´s quite disappointing that the actual PIRK never has been published! This prevents other researchers and other professionals to replicate this findings, and thereby make them less significant. So I strongly call for publication of the PIRK.
