It is said that the infantile autism have a disability of joint attention in social
behavior. This study is aimed at comparing the effectiveness of verbal communication
support and non-verbal communication support，which raises joint attention behavior
of infantile autism. In the investigation we use alternating treatment design.
Subjects were two infants. Both were diagnosed autism. Based on Scaffolding，
support behavior was divided into verbal communication support and non-verbal
communication support. When they played at housekeeping，we analyzed which
support produced a greater number of joint attention behavior.
The result showed that in one of them the verbal communication support was
more effective than non-verbalcommunication support in joint attention producing. It
suggests that he developed the ability of verbal sensitivity. Another result was not
statistically significant as both subjects，when they had verbal communication support，
showed a trend of more joint attention behavior as the supporter's behavior was
lesser. There was a discussion about this result.
