Meteorological Variables and Behavior of Learners With Autism: An Examination of Possible Relationships / Sabrina E. VANBUSKIRK in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 28-3 (September 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 28-3 (September 2013) . - p.131-137 Titre : Meteorological Variables and Behavior of Learners With Autism: An Examination of Possible Relationships Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sabrina E. VANBUSKIRK, Auteur ; Richard L. SIMPSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.131-137 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : weather  moon  behavior  autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : For this study, we collected classroom behavioral data for three children with autism relative to daily meteorological conditions. Meteorological data, including barometric pressure, humidity, outdoor temperature, and moon illumination, were obtained from the National Weather Service. Relationships between children’s individual target behaviors and meteorological conditions were evaluated via scatterplots. Results revealed independence between children’s behavior and meteorological conditions. Study results are discussed along with implications for professional practice.

Child and Family Characteristics Influencing Intervention Choices in Autism Spectrum Disorders / Elena PATTEN in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 28-3 (September 2013)

Interviews from 70 caregivers were analyzed to determine potential influences on utilization (e.g., start of first services, use of traditional services). Only three variables predicted utilization of specific therapies: severity of sensory processing problems was associated with earlier initiation of services in general, and higher maternal and paternal education were associated with the use of dietary and/or vitamin therapy as well as with the use of a greater number of services. None of the other variables studied had predictive value, although the influence of variables not examined in this study remains to be explored.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Teacher-Implemented Video Prompting on an iPod Touch to Teach Food-Preparation Skills to High School Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders / Jesse W. JOHNSON in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 28-3 (September 2013)

The special education teacher implemented the procedure in the high school classroom. Student data are interpreted to conclude that video prompting on an iPod Touch was effective in increasing independent performance of both students. The special education teacher was able to implement the procedure with a high degree of fidelity without disrupting the ongoing instructional activities of the classroom. Teacher ratings of the acceptability and perceived effectiveness of the procedures suggested that teacher viewed video prompting on an iPod Touch as a practical, effective, and efficient strategy for teaching food-preparation skills to students with ASD and intellectual disability.

A Trend Analysis of Participant and Setting Characteristics in Autism Intervention Research / Kimberly CROSLAND in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 28-3 (September 2013)

Information was collected on age of participants, cognitive and communicative functioning, setting, and ecological variables. Overall, the data are interpreted to document few changes over time; however, increasing trends were noted in the proportion of studies that included children below the age of 6 years and in the proportion of studies that included higher functioning participants. The data are discussed in relation to the status of intervention research and demographic changes pertaining to autism.

Home Sweet Home? Families’ Experiences With Aggression in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders / Sandra HODGETTS in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 28-3 (September 2013)

Families’ Experiences With Aggression in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sandra HODGETTS, Auteur ; David B NICHOLAS, Auteur ; Lonnie ZWAIGENBAUM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.166-174 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  aggression  family life Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although not inherent to the diagnosis, many individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) display aggressive behavior. This study examined the experiences of families living with individuals with ASD who also demonstrate aggressive behaviors. Using a qualitative approach, semistructured interviews were conducted with parents of nine males with autism and aggression. Eight families’ homes also were observed. Through constant-comparison analysis of interview data, triangulated with home observations, three central processes were identified: deleterious impact on daily routines and well-being of family members, limited supports and services, and financial strain. Emergent themes included isolation, exhaustion, safety concerns, home expenses, respite needs, and limited professional supports and alternative housing. Examination of families’ experiences living with someone with ASD who is aggressive, and the impact of aggression on the supports and services that families receive, constitutes an important step in tailoring resources to best meet families’ needs.

We examined 37 male adolescents adjudicated delinquent for sexual offenses who were sentenced to treatment. Ultimately, 22 (60%) were found to meet the diagnostic criteria for an ASD. All had intelligence quotients in the average range. For the offenders with ASD, we recommend modifying traditional treatment protocols (i.e., relying on individual and group talk therapy) to match their learning styles (e.g., visual learning, modeling with practice, and feedback) and restricting contact with neurotypical sexual offenders to improve therapeutic outcomes. Deterrent programming aimed at bridging the gap between social deficits, Theory of Mind deficits, and sexual knowledge acquisition is discussed.

Auditory Hypersensitivity in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders / Jay R. LUCKER in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 28-3 (September 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 28-3 (September 2013) . - p.184-191 Titre : Auditory Hypersensitivity in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jay R. LUCKER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.184-191 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : auditory hypersensitivity  autism spectrum disorders Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A review of records was completed to determine whether children with auditory hypersensitivities have difficulty tolerating loud sounds due to auditory-system factors or some other factors not directly involving the auditory system. Records of 150 children identified as not meeting autism spectrum disorders (ASD) criteria and another 50 meeting that criteria were reviewed. All participants had normal hearing. Tolerance was measured up to 110 dBHL. Findings revealed a smaller-than-expected percentage of children were unable to tolerate loud sounds. The conclusion drawn is that auditory hypersensitivity is not based in the auditory system, but rather is a conditioned response to sounds perceived as aversive or annoying. Treatments for auditory hypersensitivity should not be auditory based but should include desensitization training. Implications for practice are provided.
