Can Child Care Workers Contribute to the Early Detection of Autism Spectrum Disorders? A Comparison Between Screening Instruments with Child Care Workers Versus Parents as Informants / Mieke DEREU in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-5 (May 2012)

Only few studies compare the discriminative power of these instruments in the same sample. In particular comparisons of instruments that use different informants are scarce in young children. The current study compared the discriminant ability of the Checklist for Early Signs of Developmental Disorders (CESDD) filled out by child care workers with that of frequently used parent questionnaires in a sample of 357 children between 5.57 and 48.13 months old who showed signs of ASD or language delay. The discriminant power of the CESDD was as good as that of parent questionnaires. Therefore, inclusion of child care workers in the early detection of ASD seems promising.

Exploring individual trajectories of social communicative development in toddlers at risk for autism spectrum disorders / Mieke DEREU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-3 (July-September 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-3 (July-September 2012) . - p.1038-1052 Titre : Exploring individual trajectories of social communicative development in toddlers at risk for autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mieke DEREU, Auteur ; Herbert ROEYERS, Auteur ; Ruth RAYMAEKERS, Auteur ; Petra WARREYN, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.1038-1052 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Toddlers  Social communicative abilities  Variability  Prospective study  Individual trajectories Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Whilst impairments in joint attention, imitation, and pretend play are well documented in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the developmental trajectories of these symptoms remain unknown. The main objective was to explore these trajectories in a sample of children at risk for ASD between the ages of 2 and 4 years. After screening positive for ASD, 17 children were prospectively followed with 6-monthly assessments of social communicative skills and general development. During this study, 9 children were diagnosed with ASD. Results showed that there was growth in imitation skills and in pretend play ability. Also, a slightly increased amount of initiation of joint attention was noted. However, the quality of joint attention behaviours did not significantly improve and growth rates did not significantly differ between children with ASD and non-ASD cases. There was a great intra-individual variability, especially in the performances on the imitation tasks. Also interindividual variability was apparent: some children with ASD showed a delayed development of imitation or pretend play, whereas others had a more clearly deviant developmental profile. The importance of looking at individual trajectories and variability in the study of social communicative development in children with ASD is discussed.

Screening for Autism Spectrum Disorders in Flemish Day-Care Centres with the Checklist for Early Signs of Developmental Disorders / Mieke DEREU in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 40-10 (October 2010)

The predictive validity of the CESDD was evaluated in a population of 6,808 children between 3 and 39 months attending day-care centres in Flanders. The CESDD had a sensitivity of .80 and a specificity of .94. Based on the screening procedure used in this study, 41 children were diagnosed with ASD or got a working diagnosis of ASD. Thus, including child care workers’ report on signs of ASD in screening procedures can help to identify cases of ASD at a young age.
