Exploratory Factor Analysis of SRS-2 Teacher Ratings for Youth with ASD / Andrew T. NELSON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-9 (September 2016) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 46-9 (September 2016) . - p.2905-2915 Titre : Exploratory Factor Analysis of SRS-2 Teacher Ratings for Youth with ASD Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Andrew T. NELSON, Auteur ; Christopher LOPATA, Auteur ; Martin A. VOLKER, Auteur ; Marcus L. THOMEER, Auteur ; Jennifer A. TOOMEY, Auteur ; Elissa DUA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2905-2915 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : SRS-2  Teacher ratings  Exploratory factor analysis  ASD Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined the factor structure and internal consistency of special education teaching staff ratings on the Social Responsiveness Scale-2 (SRS-2; Constantino and Gruber 2012), as well as the percentage of ratings falling above pre-established cut scores, for a sample of lower-functioning youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; n = 264). Results of the exploratory factor analysis yielded a four-factor correlated solution. The individual factors and total score demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency reliability for screening purposes. When applying the lowest pre-established cut score (T ? 60; minimum indication of clinically significant symptoms/impairments), 85 % of the sample had ratings in that range or higher (more severe). Implications for assessment and future research are provided.

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. THOMEER, Auteur ; Alanna M. LIPINSKI, Auteur ; James P. DONNELLY, Auteur ; Andrew T. NELSON, Auteur ; Rachael A. SMITH, Auteur ; Adam J. BOOTH, Auteur ; Jonathan D. RODGERS, Auteur ; Martin A. 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.
