Behavioral flexibility in children with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability / Nienke PETERS-SCHEFFER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-6 (June 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-6 (June 2013) . - p.699-709 Titre : Behavioral flexibility in children with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Nienke PETERS-SCHEFFER, Auteur ; Robert DIDDEN, Auteur ; Jeff SIGAFOOS, Auteur ; Vanessa A. GREEN, Auteur ; Hubert KORZILIUS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.699-709 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Behavioral flexibility  Autism spectrum disorder  Intellectual disability  BFRS-R Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have particular difficulty with behavioral flexibility, but the knowledge base on behavioral flexibility in children with a diagnosis of ASD plus intellectual disability (ID) compared to children with ID only is still scarce. The aim of the present study was to assess behavioral flexibility in 111 children (84 boys) with ASD (87 autistic disorder; 24 PDD-NOS) plus ID (IQ range 10.59–72.67) and compare their scores to those of a control group consisting of 65 children with ID only (42 boys). Their age range was between 2:7 and 9:11 years/months. Behavior flexibility was measured using a Dutch version of the Behavioral Flexibility Rating Scale – Revised (Green et al., 2006; Peters-Scheffer et al., 2008). Results showed that behavioral flexibility in children with ASD plus ID was predicted by autism severity, developmental age, and initiating social interaction. A lack of behavioral flexibility seems to influence emotional and behavioral problems and maternal stress, but not adaptive behavior.

Effectiveness of behavioral skills training on staff performance in a job training setting for high-functioning adolescents with autism spectrum disorders / Annemiek PALMEN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 4-4 (October-December 2010)

Behavioral skills training, consisting of group instruction and supervisory feedback, was used to improve staff performance on (a) providing positive reinforcement, (b) providing error correction, and (c) initiating opportunities for students to show the target response (i.e. asking for help). Also changes in students’ target response and generalization of staff performance were evaluated. Data were collected in a multiple baseline design across three staff skills. There were improvements in all staff skills and changes in ‘error correction’ as a result of intervention were statistically significant. Improvements in staff skills were maintained over time. Effects of intervention on students’ target responses and generalization of staff performance, however, were limited. Staff evaluated the intervention as effective and acceptable. Implications of the findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Effectiveness of low intensity behavioral treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability / Nienke PETERS-SCHEFFER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-9 (September 2013)

At baseline, no differences were found between groups (mean chronological age: 5.3 years; mean developmental age: 1.11 years) on several key variables, but after two years of intervention the treatment group outperformed the control group on IQ, developmental age, adaptive behavior, interpersonal relations, play and receptive language, and less autistic symptoms were seen in treatment group. Following intervention, no differences between groups were found on expressive language, behavioral flexibility and maternal stress. Progress in developmental age, adaptive behavior, interpersonal relations, play and receptive and expressive language was clinically and reliably significant for the majority of the LIBT group.

Maternal stress predicted by characteristics of children with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability / Nienke PETERS-SCHEFFER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)

The level of maternal stress remained stable over time. Child characteristics predicting maternal stress are behavioral inflexibility toward objects and initiating social interactions. However, these factors do not predict maternal stress when analyzed in combination with children's emotional and behavioral problems measured on the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL; Achenbach & Rescorla, 2000). The subscales emotionally reactive behavior, withdrawn behavior and attention problems explain a third of the variance in maternal stress. This study revealed no relation between maternal stress and children's developmental age and IQ, receptive and expressive language, adaptive behavior, severity and subtype of ASD, behavioral flexibility toward the environment and persons, initiating and responding to joint attention, initiating and responding to behavioral requests, responding to social interactions and the other subscales of the CBCL. Findings are discussed in relation to the clinical and non-clinical norm groups of the PSI, the limitations of the study and clinical practice.

The purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate the effectiveness of EIBI based on applied behavior analysis in young children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). There were 11 studies with 344 children with ASD. Quality of studies was assessed using the Downs and Black Checklist. Experimental groups who received EIBI outperformed the control groups on IQ, non-verbal IQ, expressive and receptive language and adaptive behavior. Differences between the experimental and control groups were 4.96–15.21 points on standardized tests. These results strongly support the effectiveness of EIBI.
