CONSTANTINO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1338-1346 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  reciprocal social behavior  video  twins  toddlers Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Reciprocal social behavior (RSB) is a developmental prerequisite for social competency, and deficits in RSB constitute a core feature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Although clinical screeners categorically ascertain risk of ASD in early childhood, rapid methods for quantitative measurement of RSB in toddlers are not yet established. Such measurements are critical for tracking developmental trajectories and incremental responses to intervention. Methods We developed and validated a 20-min video-referenced rating scale, the video-referenced rating of reciprocal social behavior (vrRSB), for untrained caregivers to provide standardized ratings of quantitative variation in RSB. Parents of 252 toddler twins [Monozygotic (MZ) = 31 pairs, Dizygotic (DZ) = 95 pairs] ascertained through birth records, rated their twins’ RSB at two time points, on average 6 months apart, and completed two developmental measures, the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) and the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory Short Form (MCDI-s). Results Scores on the vrRSB were fully continuously distributed, with excellent 6-month test–retest reliability ([intraclass correlation coefficient] ICC = 0.704, p < .000). MZ twins displayed markedly greater trait concordance than DZ twins, (MZ ICC = 0.863, p < .000, DZ ICC = 0.231, p < .012). VrRSB score distributions were highly distinct for children passing versus failing the M-CHAT (t = ?8.588, df = 31, p < .000), incrementally improved from 18–24 months, and were inversely correlated with receptive and expressive vocabulary on the MCDI-s. Conclusions Like quantitative autistic trait ratings in school-aged children and adults, toddler scores on the vrRSB are continuously distributed and appear highly heritable. These ratings exhibited minimal measurement error, high inter-individual stability, and developmental progression in RSB as children matured from 18–24 months, supporting their potential utility for serially quantifying the severity of early autistic syndromes over time and in response to intervention. In addition, these findings inform the genetic-environmental structure of RSB in early typical development.

Reliability of the ADI-R for the Single Case-Part II: Clinical Versus Statistical Significance / Domenic V. CICCHETTI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-12 (December 2014) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 44-12 (December 2014) . - p.3154-3160 Titre : Reliability of the ADI-R for the Single Case-Part II: Clinical Versus Statistical Significance Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Domenic V. CICCHETTI, Auteur ; Catherine LORD, Auteur ; Kathy KOENIG, Auteur ; Ami KLIN, Auteur ; Fred R. VOLKMAR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3154-3160 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Clinical significance  Statistical significance  Inter-rater reliability  Multiple raters, one patient Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In an earlier investigation, the authors assessed the reliability of the ADI-R when multiple clinicians evaluated a single case, here a female 3 year old toddler suspected of having an autism spectrum disorder (Cicchetti et al. in J Autism Dev Disord 38:764–770, 2008). Applying the clinical criteria of Cicchetti and Sparrow (Am J Men Def 86:127–137, 1981); and those of Cicchetti et al. (Child Neuropsychol 126–137, 1995): 74 % of the ADI-R items showed 100 % agreement; 6 % showed excellent agreement; 7 % showed good agreement; 3 % manifested average agreement; and the remaining 10 % evidenced poor agreement. In this follow-up investigation, the authors described and applied a novel method for determining levels of statistical significance of the reliability coefficients obtained in the earlier investigation. It is based upon a modification of the Z test for comparing a given level of inter-examiner reliability with a lower limit value of 70 % (Dixon and Massey in Introduction to statistical analysis. McGraw-Hill, New York, 1957). Results indicated that every item producing a clinically acceptable level of inter-examiner reliability was also statistically significant. However, the reverse was not true, since a number of the items with statistically significant reliability levels did not reach levels of agreement that were clinically meaningful. This indicated that clinical significance was an accurate marker of statistical significance. The generalization of these findings to other areas of diagnostic interest and importance is also examined.

Reliability of the ADI-R: Multiple Examiners Evaluate a Single Case / Domenic V. CICCHETTI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 38-4 (April 2008)

Examiners showed agreement levels of 94–96% across all items, with weighted kappa (Kw) between .80 and .88. They were in 100% agreement on 74% of the items; in excellent agreement on 6% of the items (93–96%, with Kw between .78 and .85); in good agreement on 7% (89–90%, with Kw between .62 and 0.68); and in fair agreement on 3% (82 – 84%, with Kw between .40 and .47). For the remaining 10% of ADI-R items, examiners showed poor agreement (50–81% with Kw between −.67 and .37).

Screening for autism in older and younger toddlers with the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers / Juhi PANDEY in Autism, 12-5 (September 2008)

BARTON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.513-535 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism-spectrum-disorders early-detection early-identification pediatric-screening Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M—CHAT) was used to screen younger (16—23 months) versus older (24—30 months) high- and low-risk toddlers. Refusal rates for follow-up interview showed no group differences, but parents of younger/low-risk children were more likely to refuse evaluation than parents of high-risk children. PPP for an ASD diagnosis was: younger/high-risk 0.79, older/high-risk 0.74, younger/low-risk 0.28, and older/low-risk 0.61, with PPP differing by age within the low-risk group. Most of the children in all groups, however, were diagnosed with a developmental disorder. Symptom severity generally did not differ among groups. Cognitive and adaptive measures showed minimal group differences. Therefore, older and younger toddlers had similar symptomatology and developmental delays; PPP for ASD is better at 24 than 18 months for low-risk children; however, these children are still highly likely to show a developmental disorder. Clinical decision making should balance early identification against the lower specificity of M—CHAT screening for the younger/low-risk group.

Social and Communication Abilities and Disabilities in Higher Functioning Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders: The Vineland and the ADOS / Ami KLIN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 37-4 (April 2007)

This study investigates ability and disability using the Vineland and Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), respectively, in two clinical samples of children with ASD. Participants included 187 males with VIQ > 70. Vineland scores were substantially below VIQ, highlighting the magnitude of adaptive impairments despite cognitive potential. A weak relationship was found between ability and disability. Negative relationships were found between age and Vineland scores and no relationships were found between age and ADOS scores. Positive relationships were found between IQ and Vineland Communication. Results stress the need for longitudinal studies on ability and disability in ASD and emphasize the importance of adaptive skills intervention.
