Brief Report: The Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales in Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders at Different Cognitive Levels / Adrienne PERRY in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 39-7 (July 2009)

IQ was higher than VABS composite score among high functioning children only; the opposite pattern was found in lower IQ subgroups. Profile analysis of VABS domains across cognitive levels demonstrated different profiles in different subgroups. A characteristic “autism profile” was found for most subgroups for Age Equivalents but not Standard Scores. In a small set of matched pairs (n = 28) of children with autism versus MR, significantly different profiles were found, with Socialization and Communication lower in autism, but no differences were found between matched pairs of children with autism and PDD-NOS (n = 48). Correlations between age, cognitive level, and adaptive level were also reported, and regression analyses indicated that autism severity accounts for a modest amount of unique variance in Socialization and Daily Living Skills.

Comparing the 1-year impact of preschool autism intervention programs in two Canadian provinces / Isabel M. SMITH in Autism Research, 12-4 (April 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 12-4 (April 2019) . - p.667-681 Titre : Comparing the 1-year impact of preschool autism intervention programs in two Canadian provinces Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Isabel M. SMITH, Auteur ; Helen E. FLANAGAN, Auteur ; Wendy J. UNGAR, Auteur ; Barbara D'ENTREMONT, Auteur ; Nancy GARON, Auteur ; Jeffrey DEN OTTER, Auteur ; Charlotte WADDELL, Auteur ; Susan E. BRYSON, Auteur ; Kate TSIPLOVA, Auteur ; Natalie LEGER, Auteur ; Francine VEZINA, Auteur ; Patricia MURRAY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.667-681 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adaptive behavior  autism spectrum disorder  early intervention  preschool children Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with early differences in children's social interactions, communication, and play/interests. In many countries, considerable resources are invested in early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) programs for children with ASD, which aim to build adaptive skills and prevent or treat problem behavior. However, these programs vary widely in structure and delivery. Research evidence supports the efficacy of EIBI, but large knowledge gaps remain about the effectiveness of publicly funded EIBI programs. With policy-makers as formal research partners, we compared children's progress over 1 year in public preschool programs in adjacent Canadian provinces, New Brunswick (NB) and Nova Scotia (NS). In NB, children received up to 20 hr/week of comprehensive EIBI in a publicly funded, privately provided program. In NS, children received up to 15 hr/week of Pivotal Response Treatment and Positive Behavior Support delivered through the publicly funded healthcare system. In this observational parallel cohort study, we collected parent-reported data on 298 NB preschoolers (76.5% boys) and 221 NS preschoolers (86.9% boys) at EIBI start and 1 year later. Multilevel analysis revealed significant differences at baseline: NS children were older, with lower adaptive functioning and more severe ASD symptoms than NB children. Despite these pre-treatment differences that favor NB, children in both provinces showed similar adaptive functioning gains and reductions of maladaptive behavior. No changes were seen in mean ASD symptom severity in either province over time. Results highlight the value of evaluating interventions in their implementation contexts, and have important implications for devising optimal ASD policy. Autism Research 2019, 12: 667-681. (c) 2019 International Society for Autism Research,Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: We need to know more about the impact of different forms of early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We showed that preschoolers with ASD gained important skills while in public EIBI programs in two Canadian provinces. We also saw that differences in how EIBI programs are structured and characteristics of children who are served may affect outcomes. For these reasons, policy making requires evidence that fits the local context.

Comparing the Impact of Differing Preschool Autism Interventions on Parents in Two Canadian Provinces / Barbara D'ENTREMONT in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-11 (November 2022)

Parental measures are rarely included in EIBI effectiveness studies, yet parental distress and lower self-efficacy are associated with poorer child outcomes. Parents of preschoolers with ASD (N=485) were surveyed at baseline (T1), one-year post-intervention (T2), and school entry (T3) about family distress/crisis, parental self-efficacy, and satisfaction with services in two Canadian provinces. Family distress/crisis decreased and parental self-efficacy increased from T1 to T2. Increases in self-efficacy were largely maintained at T3. Parents were highly satisfied with services. Greater satisfaction for those residing in the province utilizing a parent-coaching model suggests that parent involvement is associated with positive parent outcomes.

Effectiveness of Community-Based Early Intervention Based on Pivotal Response Treatment / Isabel M. SMITH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-6 (June 2015)

Treatment entailed parent training and therapist-implemented components, incorporating Pivotal Response Treatment and Positive Behaviour Support. Standardized ability and behavioural measures were gathered prior to and following the 1-year intervention. Analyses were conducted for three groups based on baseline IQ: Higher IQ (≥70; n = 36), Moderately Low IQ (40–69; n = 40), and Very Low IQ (<40, n = 42). Observed gains in key language and cognitive outcomes were significant for all groups. Baseline cognitive scores significantly predicted 1-year outcomes. Results are encouraging for this relatively low-intensity community-based intervention program.

Effectiveness of large-scale community-based Intensive Behavioral Intervention: A waitlist comparison study exploring outcomes and predictors / Helen E. FLANAGAN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)

Outcomes were compared for 61 children who received IBI and 61 individually matched children from a waitlist comparison group. In addition, predictors of better cognitive outcomes were explored (n = 142). Although random assignment did not take place, a standardized waitlist management system was used that did not include any prioritization other than time of referral. Groups did not differ significantly on available measures at intake. The treatment period tended to be longer than the waitlist period and this difference was controlled in analyses. At exit, the IBI group had better outcomes in all measured areas, with milder autism severity, higher adaptive functioning, and higher cognitive skills. Younger initial age predicted better cognitive outcomes in the IBI group but not the Waitlist group. Higher initial adaptive skills predicted better outcomes similarly in the two groups. Results support the effectiveness of community-based IBI and suggest that earlier age at treatment onset may increase the likelihood of better outcomes relative to comparison conditions.
