The objective was to use a systematic review approach to identify, number, and link functional ability and disability concepts used in the scientific ASD literature to the nomenclature of the ICF-CY (Children and Youth version of the ICF, covering the life span). Methods: Systematic searches on outcome studies of ASD were carried out in Medline/PubMed, PsycINFO, ERIC and Cinahl, and relevant functional ability and disability concepts extracted from the included studies. These concepts were then linked to the ICF-CY by two independent researchers using a standardized linking procedure. New concepts were extracted from the studies until saturation of identified ICF-CY categories was reached. Results: Seventy-one studies were included in the final analysis and 2475 meaningful concepts contained in these studies were linked to 146 ICF-CY categories. Of these, 99 categories were considered most relevant to ASD (i.e., identified in at least 5% of the studies), of which 63 were related to Activities and Participation, 28 were related to Body functions, and 8 were related to Environmental factors. The five most frequently identified categories were basic interpersonal interactions (51%), emotional functions (49%), complex interpersonal interactions (48%), attention functions (44%), and mental functions of language (44%). Conclusion: The broad variety of ICF-CY categories identified in this study reflects the heterogeneity of functional differences found in ASD—both with respect to disability and exceptionality—and underlines the potential value of the ICF-CY as a framework to capture an individual's functioning in all dimensions of life. The current results in combination with three additional preparatory studies (expert survey, focus groups, and clinical study) will provide the scientific basis for defining the ICF Core Sets for ASD for multipurpose use in basic and applied research and every day clinical practice of ASD.

Here we performed a scoping review of all research on ASD ever published in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) in order to identify ASD knowledge gaps in this part of the world. Fifty-three publications met inclusion criteria. Themes included the phenotype, genetics and risk factors for ASD in SSA, screening and diagnosis, professional knowledge, interventions for ASD, parental perceptions, and social-cognitive neuroscience. No epidemiological, early intervention, school-based or adult studies were identified. For each identified theme, we aimed to summarize results and make recommendations to fill the knowledge gaps. The quality of study methodologies was generally not high. Few studies used standardized diagnostic instruments, and intervention studies were typically small-scale. Overall, findings suggest a substantial need for large-scale clinical, training, and research programmes to improve the lives of people who live with ASD in SSA. However, SSA also has the potential to make unique and globally-significant contributions to the etiology and treatments of ASD through implementation, interventional, and comparative genomic science.

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a comprehensive, universally accepted framework for the description of health-related functioning. ICF Core Sets are shortlists of ICF categories that are selected to capture those aspects of functioning that are most relevant when describing a person with a specific condition. In this paper, the authors preview the process for developing ICF Core Sets for ASD, a collaboration with the World Health Organization and the ICF Research Branch. The ICF Children and Youth version (ICF-CY) was derived from the ICF and designed to capture the specific situation of the developing child. As ASD affects individuals throughout the life span, and the ICF-CY includes all ICF categories, the ICF-CY will be used in this project (“ICF(-CY)” from now on). The ICF(-CY) categories to be included in the ICF Core Sets for ASD will be determined at an ICF Core Set Consensus Conference, where evidence from four preparatory studies (a systematic review, an expert survey, a patient and caregiver qualitative study, and a clinical cross-sectional study) will be integrated. Comprehensive and Brief ICF Core Sets for ASD will be developed with the goal of providing useful standards for research and clinical practice and generating a common language for functioning and impairment in ASD in different areas of life and across the life span.

The World Health Organization developed the caregiver skills training programme to address the needs of families having children with developmental disabilities globally. This study explored the acceptability and feasibility of the caregiver skills training programme facilitated by non-specialists in rural Ethiopia, where contextual factors such as poverty, stigma and low literacy may affect training delivery. In-depth interviews were conducted with caregivers (n?=?19) and four focus groups with non-specialist facilitators (n?=?8) in two rural pilot tests of the caregiver skills training programme. Results suggested that participants experienced the caregiver skills training programme as acceptable and relevant for their context but suggested some modifications to improve the programme. Caregivers? accounts showed that facilitation by non-specialists was acceptable; facilitators emphasised the importance of supervision throughout the programme. Participants indicated that the home visit and group training modalities were acceptable and feasible. Facilitators indicated that some caregiver skills training programme topics were difficult to explain to caregivers; the concept of formalised play between caregiver and child was particularly foreign to caregivers. Lack of available toys made it difficult to practise some of the caregiver skills programme training exercises. These findings may have relevance to non-specialist delivery of the caregiver skills programme training and other parent-mediated interventions in low-resource contexts. Lay abstract Children with developmental disabilities including autism who live in low- and middle-income countries have very limited access to care and intervention. The World Health Organization initiated the caregiver skills training programme to support families with children with developmental disabilities. In Ethiopia, contextual factors such as poverty, low literacy and stigma may affect the success of the programme. In this study, we aimed to find out if the caregiver skills training programme is feasible to deliver in rural Ethiopia and acceptable to caregivers and programme facilitators. We trained non-specialist providers to facilitate the programme. Caregivers and non-specialist facilitators were asked about their experiences in interviews and group discussions. Caregivers found the programme relevant to their lives and reported benefits of participation. Facilitators highlighted the skills they had acquired but also emphasised the importance of support from supervisors during the programme. They described that some caregiver skills training programme topics were difficult to teach caregivers. In particular, the idea of play between caregiver and child was unfamiliar to many caregivers. Lack of available toys made it difficult to practise some of the caregiver skills training programme exercises. Participants indicated that the home visits and group training programme components of the caregiver skills training were acceptable and feasible, but there were some practical barriers, such as transportation issues and lack of time for homework practice. These findings may have importance to non-specialist delivery of the caregiver skills training programme in other low-income countries.

The World Health Organization developed a caregiver skills training for families of children with developmental delays or disabilities, which includes a three-session caregiver well-being module based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, that aims to help caregivers build psychological flexibility (i.e. the ability to focus on the present moment, make space for difficult thoughts and emotions and commit to value-driven actions that enrich their lives). We investigated whether this brief caregiver well-being programme was feasible, acceptable and contributed to positive outcomes for caregivers in a rural South African town. We adapted the intervention to the local context using a participatory approach. The ?Well-Beans for Caregivers? adaptation of the World Health Organization Caregiver Skills Training Caregiver Wellbeing module was then delivered by trained facilitators to a group of 10 caregivers in three weekly, 2-h sessions. Most caregivers were single and unemployed. Feedback from the facilitators, caregivers and trainee observers was obtained before, during and after the programme. Results suggested that this brief programme shows promise as a feasible and acceptable intervention, which may lead to improved caregiver well-being and mental health in communities in South Africa. Lay abstract Young children with developmental disabilities and delays who live in low- and middle-income countries are at significant risk of not reaching their full potential. We know that daily interactions with their caregivers (parents or other people taking care of them) play an important role in promoting their development. However, having a child with developmental disabilities can have a negative impact on carers? mental health and well-being, which in turn can influence their capacity to care for their children. To date, very little attention has been given to the caregivers? capacity to care. The World Health Organization developed a Caregiver Skills Training programme which includes a brief, three-session module that focuses on improving caregivers? well-being and mental health. This well-being programme is based on acceptance and commitment therapy. Acceptance and commitment therapy shows increasing evidence of helping people respond to their stressors, thoughts, feelings and experiences a little differently and commit to small changes that are in line with their personal values. Acceptance and commitment therapy has shown promise in improving feelings of well-being in caregivers of children with developmental disabilities. We adapted the World Health Organization Caregiver Skills Training Caregiver well-being module to suit the South African context. The resultant ?Well Beans for Caregivers? was then delivered to caregivers from a rural, low-resource setting in South Africa. We found the intervention easy to implement, highly acceptable to caregivers and showed promising impacts on caregivers? well-being and mental health. This intervention has the potential to be implemented widely and sustainably to build caregivers? capacity to care for their children.
