Efficacy of Handheld Electronic Visual Supports to Enhance Vocabulary in Children With ASD / Jennifer B. GANZ in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 29-1 (March 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 29-1 (March 2014) . - p.3-12 Titre : Efficacy of Handheld Electronic Visual Supports to Enhance Vocabulary in Children With ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jennifer B. GANZ, Auteur ; Margot B. BOLES, Auteur ; Fara D. GOODWYN, Auteur ; Margaret M. FLORES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3-12 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : iPad®  handheld computer  autism  communication  vocabulary  intervention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although electronic tools such as handheld computers have become increasingly common throughout society, implementation of such tools to improve skills in individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities has lagged in the professional literature. However, the use of visual scripts for individuals with disabilities, particularly those with autism spectrum disorders, has been demonstrated to be effective, though frequently in static formats. Thus, this study involved the implementation of an alternating-treatment design to investigate the effects of tablet computer-based visual scripts on vocabulary use in three 8- to 14-year-old children with autism. Results indicated that all the participants showed increased use of verbs or nouns with the treatment materials, all the participants required less invasive prompts as the project progressed, and one participant had mixed results in the spontaneous use of nouns, increasing in their use in treatment and nontreatment conditions.

Faculty Experience With College Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Qualitative Study of Challenges and Solutions / Ken GOBBO in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 29-1 (March 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 29-1 (March 2014) . - p.13-22 Titre : Faculty Experience With College Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Qualitative Study of Challenges and Solutions Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ken GOBBO, Auteur ; Solvegi SHMULSKY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.13-22 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  autism spectrum disorders  college students  teaching Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This article reports the findings of a qualitative inquiry involving two focus groups made up of experienced faculty who met to discuss academic concerns faced by college students with autism spectrum disorders, including Asperger’s disorder. Analysis of group meeting transcripts indicated that student concerns fell into categories related to difficulties with theory of mind and understanding audience, weak central coherence in cognitive processing, and struggles with executive function. Classroom teaching implications are summarized and related strategies are presented.

Formative Evaluation of an ABA Outreach Training Program for Parents of Children With Autism in Remote Areas / Linda HEITZMAN-POWELL in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 29-1 (March 2014)

Using web-based training and telemedicine technology, the current study investigated the feasibility of training seven parents to implement Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) strategies with their children with autism. In this exploratory formative evaluation, parents increased their knowledge of ABA strategies and concepts by an average of 39 percentage points, and improved their implementation of ABA strategies with their children by an average of 41 percentage points. A total of 9,052 driving miles were saved across the four families. Implications for families living in remote areas, improvements in the training program, and future research directions are discussed.

Personnel Preparation Practices in ASD: A Follow-Up Analysis of Contemporary Practices / Gena P. BARNHILL in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 29-1 (March 2014)

For this study, we sought to analyze key aspects of programs for professionals who work with students with ASD. In addition to a detailed analysis of multiple demographic characteristics related to these programs (e.g., length of time program offered, level of higher education at which the program is offered, number of courses within a program, field experiences, online options), a critical focus in the research was assessing the reliance on evidence-based practices by these training programs. We also examined characteristics and practices relevant to the training of behavior analysts through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s (BACB) approved coursework.

The Effect of a Platform Swing on the Independent Work Behaviors of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders / Linda C. MURDOCK in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 29-1 (March 2014)

Becca WOOD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.50-61 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders  integration  sensory  self-stimulatory (STIMS) behavior  intervention  behavior Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A randomized pretest–posttest control group design was utilized to measure the effects of a platform swing on independent work behaviors of 30 children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Participants engaged in two 5-min intervals of independent work. Between the intervals, participants in the treatment group received 5 min of vestibular stimulation using a platform swing and children in the control group watched a video. No significant differences were evidenced between the treatment and control groups on engagement, on-task behavior, stereotyped/repetitive behavior, or out-of-seat behavior. Changes noted for individual participants could not be linked to age, diagnosis, or sensory profile patterns.
