This paper reports on the first phase of a project that aims to have adults with autism participate meaningfully in co-designing an engaging digital skills development platform incorporating micro-skills training programs and digital tools to enhance wellbeing and social-emotional functioning. Methods Adults with autism were recruited in Australia to participate in an online survey (N = 17) and/or focus groups or interviews (N = 11) designed to establish preferences for content, presentation, and functionality of the platform. Results Participants highlighted the importance of integrating communication, social, relationship, employment, and organisational skills with content presented via graphics/diagrams and text. In addition, a consistent finding across both quantitative and qualitative data was the preference for content delivered by peers. Conclusion There are few evidence-based interventions designed to improve the lives of adults with autism. Key areas of focus were identified, with the importance of personalising the platform to ensure it caters to varying levels of ability and the different preferences of adults with autism also noted.

Prediction of anxiety symptoms in preschool-aged children: examination of maternal and paternal perspectives / Susan L. EDWARDS in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 51-3 (March 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 51-3 (March 2010) . - p.313-321 Titre : Prediction of anxiety symptoms in preschool-aged children: examination of maternal and paternal perspectives Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Susan L. EDWARDS, Auteur ; Ronald M. RAPEE, Auteur ; Susan KENNEDY, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.313-321 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Preschool-children anxiety parenting risk-factors shyness Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Little is known about risk factors for anxiety in young children. The current study investigated the value of a set of theoretically derived risk factors to predict symptoms of anxiety in a sample of preschool-aged children. Methods: Mothers (n = 632) and fathers (n = 249) completed questionnaires twice, 12 months apart. Measures were selected to assess several risk factors derived from current theory, including parental negative affectivity, child inhibition, parent overprotection, and impact of life events. Results: Even at this young age anxiety across 12 months was moderately to highly stable (r's = .75 and .74 based on maternal and paternal report respectively). Over and above this stability, according to maternal report, anxiety at 12 months was significantly predicted by prior maternal overprotection, impact of negative life events, child's inhibition, and maternal negative affectivity. According to paternal report, anxiety at 12 months was significantly predicted by prior paternal overprotection and impact of negative life events. The models did not differ significantly for girls and boys. Conclusions: The results support theories of the development of anxiety, especially the role of parental and external environmental factors, and point to possible targets for prevention of heightened anxiety in young children.

The Assessment of Anxiety Symptoms in Preschool-Aged Children: The Revised Preschool Anxiety Scale / Susan L. EDWARDS in Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology, 39-3 (May-June 2010)

EDWARDS, Auteur ; Susan H. SPENCE, Auteur ; Ronald M. RAPEE, Auteur ; Susan KENNEDY, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.400-409 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The purpose of this study was to test the validity and factorial structure of a modified version of the Preschool Anxiety Scale (Spence, Rapee, McDonald, & Ingram, 2001). The measure was completed by 764 mothers and 418 fathers of children aged 3 to 5 years. After removing, two items tapping obsessive compulsive symptoms, confirmatory factor analysis showed that a four-factor model (social anxiety, generalized anxiety, separation anxiety, specific fears) all loading on a higher order “anxiety” factor, provided an optimal fit for the data. The total scale and 4 subscales showed strong internal consistency (alphas = .72-.92), 12-month stability y (rs = .60-.75) and maternal/paternal agreement (rs = .60-.75). Scores on the scale also showed expected correlations with a measure of emotional distress, diagnosed anxiety disorders, and behavioral indicators of anxiety.
