An Exploration of a General Social Outcome Measure / Janine P. STICHTER in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 39-4 (December 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 39-4 (December 2024) . - p.227-237 Titre : An Exploration of a General Social Outcome Measure Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Janine P. STICHTER, Auteur ; Nargiza BURANOVA, Auteur ; Melissa STORMONT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.227-237 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  social skills  assessment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The General Social Outcome Measure (GSOM) is a performance-based measurement tool designed to assess the change in social skills performance during and after intervention for students with social skills deficits. In the current study, the psychometric properties of the GSOM, including the total score and social communication domains, were examined using a sample of U.S. in adolescents with social skill deficits. Internal consistency alphas were conducted, which showed promising results. Correlational analyses were conducted using the GSOM and the Children?s Communication Checklist-2 (CCC-2), School Social Behavior Scales (SSBS), and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Second Edition (ADOS-2). A small but significant correlation was documented between the GSOM and the ADOS-2, with higher GSOM total scores (higher social skills) associated with lower ADOS-2 scores. Additional analyses revealed that individuals with different levels of symptomology according to the ADOS-2 (low, moderate, or high) differed significantly in the GSOM total score. The implications of these findings are discussed with respect to the utility of the GSOM as a progress-monitoring tool for targeted populations with social skill impairments.

An Initial Investigation of the Generalization of a School-Based Social Competence Intervention for Youth with High-Functioning Autism / Carla SCHMIDT in Autism Research and Treatment, (September 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research and Treatment > (September 2011) . - 11 p. Titre : An Initial Investigation of the Generalization of a School-Based Social Competence Intervention for Youth with High-Functioning Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Carla SCHMIDT, Auteur ; Janine P. STICHTER, Auteur ; Kristin LIERHEIMER, Auteur ; Stephanie MCGHEE, Auteur ; Karen V. O’CONNOR, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : 11 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study evaluated the impact of generalization of the Social Competence Intervention-Adolescent (SCI-A) curriculum in a school setting for individuals with high-functioning autism or Asperger's Syndrome (N=6). This study examined to what degree the generalization of the SCI-A curriculum could be measured when delivered in a school setting. Across the six participants preliminary results suggest improvement on teacher reports of social skills and executive functioning. Some improvements were also evident in direct measures of facial-expression recognition. Data collected in the nonintervention settings indicated that some generalization of social interaction skills may have occurred for all six participants. Future research directions are discussed.

Fidelity and Effectiveness of PRT Implemented by Caregivers Without College Degrees / Jena K. RANDOLPH in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 26-4 (December 2011)

O’CONNOR, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.230-238 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : pivotal response training  parent training  parent education Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Pivotal Response Training (PRT) combines research on task interspersal, direct reinforcement, and role of choice in a treatment for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Parents of children with ASD have been trained to implement PRT to improve language and social interaction. Variables other than child characteristics, such as parental income and education level, may influence training and child outcomes. The authors investigated one of those variables, parental education level, by examining the fidelity and effectiveness of PRT implementation among three caregivers without college degrees. A concurrent multiple baseline design across all phases was used. Two of the three caregiver–child dyads benefited from the intervention. Caregivers’ level of education may not be as critical as other variables, such as consistency of training sessions and other family dynamics, for successful implementation of PRT.

iSocial: Delivering the Social Competence Intervention for Adolescents (SCI-A) in a 3D Virtual Learning Environment for Youth with High Functioning Autism / Janine P. STICHTER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-2 (February 2014)

HERZOG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.417-430 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : 3D virtual learning environments  High functioning autism  Social competence  Distance education Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : One consistent area of need for students with autism spectrum disorders is in the area of social competence. However, the increasing need to provide qualified teachers to deliver evidence-based practices in areas like social competence leave schools, such as those found in rural areas, in need of support. Distance education and in particular, 3D Virtual Learning, holds great promise for supporting schools and youth to gain social competence through knowledge and social practice in context. iSocial, a distance education, 3D virtual learning environment implemented the 31-lesson social competence intervention for adolescents across three small cohorts totaling 11 students over a period of 4 months. Results demonstrated that the social competence curriculum was delivered with fidelity in the 3D virtual learning environment. Moreover, learning outcomes suggest that the iSocial approach shows promise for social competence benefits for youth.

A Review of Parent Education Programs for Parents of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders / Tia SCHULTZ in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 26-2 (June 2011)

However, there exists a lack of formative evaluation of parent education for parents of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), limiting the interpretation of ongoing and future research. To understand the current status, key characteristics, and evaluation methods of parent education specific to ASD, relevant research was reviewed with an emphasis on presentation format, evaluation methods, and participant demographics. Of the 30 articles that met inclusion criteria, more than half included descriptions of programs for parents of children with ASD ages 3—5 years, 76% involved a one-on-one training approach, 40% relied on a manual or curriculum, 86% included data on parent and child outcomes, and 70% used single-case designs to evaluate program effectiveness. None of the researchers reported data on fidelity of implementation. Suggestions for further evaluation and next-generation research are provided.
