Treatment included instruction and therapeutic activities targeting social skills, face-emotion recognition skills, interest expansion, and interpretation of non-literal language skills. A behavioral program was instituted to foster skills acquisition and reduce ASD symptoms and problem behaviors. Feasibility was supported in high levels of fidelity and satisfaction. Significant improvements were found for the children’s non-literal language skills and parent ratings of target social and communicative skills, broader social performance, and ASD symptoms. Secondary staff ratings corroborated parent ratings. Results suggest that the treatment, when administered by a community agency, was feasible and yielded positive outcomes similar to prior randomized clinical trials (RCTs).

Randomized Controlled Trial of Mind Reading and In Vivo Rehearsal for High-Functioning Children with ASD / Marcus L. THOMEER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-7 (July 2015) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 45-7 (July 2015) . - p.2115-2127 Titre : Randomized Controlled Trial of Mind Reading and In Vivo Rehearsal for High-Functioning Children with ASD Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Marcus L.

Children in treatment (n = 22) received the manualized protocol over 12 weeks. Primary analyses indicated significantly better posttest performance for the treatment group (compared to controls) on 3 of the 4 measures of emotion decoding and encoding and these were maintained at 5-week follow-up. Analyses of secondary measures favored the treatment group for 1 of the 2 measures; specifically, ASD symptoms were significantly lower at posttest and follow-up.

RCT examining the effect of treatment intensity for a psychosocial treatment for high-functioning children with ASD / Christopher LOPATA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 17 (September 2015) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 17 (September 2015) . - p.52-63 Titre : RCT examining the effect of treatment intensity for a psychosocial treatment for high-functioning children with ASD Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Christopher LOPATA, Auteur ; Marcus L.

VOLKER, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.52-63 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : High-functioning ASD  Treatment intensity  Dosage Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effect of treatment intensity (high intensity vs. lower intensity) on the feasibility and efficacy of a comprehensive psychosocial treatment for 47 high-functioning children, ages 7–12 years with ASD (HFASD). All participants received the comprehensive 5-week summer treatment (summerMAX), with half receiving the previously validated high-intensity (HI) program (2:1 child-to-staff ratio) and half receiving a lower intensity (LI) version of the same program (4:1 child-to-staff ratio). Results of the primary analyses indicated significant improvements on non-literal language and emotion recognition (decoding) child testing and parent ratings of targeted and broad social skills, ASD-related symptoms, withdrawal, and behavioral symptoms for the overall group (HI and LI combined) and no significant difference between the conditions (HI vs. LI). Secondary staff clinician ratings corroborated parent ratings. No significant cross-condition differences were observed in fidelity of implementation or in parent, child, or staff clinician satisfaction ratings indicating no reduction in feasibility for the LI group. Overall, results suggested that similar positive outcomes can be achieved when the summerMAX program is administered at a lower intensity level.
