Observing Visual Attention and Writing Behaviors During a Writing Assessment: Comparing Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder to Peers with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Typically Developing Peers / Matthew ZAJIC in Autism Research, 14-2 (February 2021)

Titre : Observing Visual Attention and Writing Behaviors During a Writing Assessment: Comparing Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder to Peers with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Typically Developing Peers Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Matthew ZAJIC, Auteur ; Emily Jane SOLARI, Auteur ; Nancy Susan MCINTYRE, Auteur ; Lindsay LERRO, Auteur ; Peter C. MUNDY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.356-368 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder autism spectrum disorder education engagement writing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) demonstrate heterogeneous writing skills that are generally lower than their typically developing (TD) peers and similar to peers with attention difficulties like attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Recent evidence suggests children with ASD spend less time engaging in writing tasks compared to their peers, but previous studies have not examined engagement specifically within the writing task environment. This study used video observation data collected from 121 school-age children (60 children with ASD, 32 children with ADHD, and 29 TD children) to compare differences in visual attention and writing task behaviors and relationships between task behaviors and age, cognitive skills, and ASD and ADHD symptom severity. Findings indicated that groups mostly spent time looking at and writing on the draft, though this was lowest in the ASD group. No differences were found between the ASD and ADHD groups after accounting for task behavior durations as percentages of total used task time. Groups spent little time looking at their outlines and looking away from the task, with all groups spending relatively more time looking at the task picture. Time spent engaged with the draft showed a positive relationship with writing performance across groups, but a negative relationship between time spent looking at the task picture and writing performance only appeared for the ADHD group. The ASD and ADHD groups showed negative associations between draft engagement and ASD symptom severity but not ADHD symptom severity. Implications are discussed for understanding writing task engagement in research and instructional contexts. LAY SUMMARY: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) demonstrate variable writing skills. Here, we examine how children with ASD engage during a writing task by using video observation data to compare their engagement to peers with and without attention difficulties. Findings indicate (a) lower draft engagement and similar task disengagement in children with ASD compared to their peers and (b) moderate-to-strong relationships between writing scores and ASD symptom severity with within-task engagement in children with ASD and their peers with attention difficulties.

Titre : Task engagement during narrative writing in school-age children with autism spectrum disorder compared to peers with and without attentional difficulties Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Matthew ZAJIC, Auteur ; Emily Jane SOLARI, Auteur ; Nancy Susan MCINTYRE, Auteur ; Lindsay LERRO, Auteur ; Peter C. MUNDY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101590 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder Autism spectrum disorder Education School-age Task engagement Written expression Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) demonstrate highly variable writing skills. Few studies have examined if engagement during writing assessments may differ for children with ASD and if task engagement is related to their writing assessment performance. This study examined narrative writing and broad task engagement in children with ASD compared to peers with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and typically developing (TD) peers. Method Sixty children with ASD, 32 children with ADHD, and 29 TD children completed assessments of cognitive skills, symptom severity, and spontaneous narrative writing. Time spent engaged during writing was assessed during the spontaneous narrative writing task. Results The ASD group performed lowest on text organization and quality scores as well as word production scores while also spending the least time engaged with the writing task. Time spent engaged was most strongly associated with narrative writing scores in the ASD group and explained unique variance in text organization and quality scores and word production scores after controlling for related age, cognitive skills, and symptom severity variables. The ADHD group showed similar associations between time spent engaged and word production scores, and time spent engaged explained unique variance in word production scores. Conclusions Time spent engaged completing the writing task appeared lowest for the ASD group and may suggest writing task engagement to be a more prominent difficulty area for children with ASD compared to peers with ADHD and TD peers. Implications for better understanding and supporting the writing skills of children with ASD are discussed.
