As such, imitation is an important intervention target for young children with and showing early signs of autism, and efforts are underway to disseminate evidence-based imitation interventions into community settings. To our knowledge, there are currently no established imitation assessments that have been validated for use in virtual contexts. This study was designed to examine the reliability and validity of two caregiver-implemented imitation measures delivered with support from a remote virtual assessor. Study participants (177 caregiver-child dyads) were enrolled in a large, multisite study that is examining the effectiveness of a caregiver-implemented intervention delivered through the Part C early intervention (EI) system across four states. Results indicate that the assessments can be administered remotely with strong fidelity, internal reliability, predictive validity, discriminant validity, convergent validity, and sensitivity to change. Stability over time was adequate. These findings suggest that imitation skills can be measured effectively using a remote caregiver-implemented assessment, which provides greater opportunity for virtual clinical trials targeting social communication in young children. Clinical Trial Registration The trial protocol was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05114538).

Titre : Applying a User-Centered Design Framework to Develop a Remote Research Assessment Protocol for a Randomized Clinical Trial for Toddlers with Early Autism Characteristics Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Daina M. TAGAVI, Auteur ; Yael G. DAI, Auteur ; Natalie I. BERGER, Auteur ; Marisa PETRUCCELLI, Auteur ; Sabine E. SCOTT, Auteur ; Devon OOSTING, Auteur ; Mya HOWARD, Auteur ; Alice S.

STONE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3417-3431 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : COVID-19 required many research teams to shift from in-person to remote assessments, which posed both procedural and theoretical challenges. While research has explored the utility of remote assessments for autism diagnosis from the perspective of families and clinicians, less is known about their application in clinical trials. This paper describes the development of a remote research assessment protocol for a randomized clinical trial focusing on the implementation of reciprocal imitation teaching (RIT) with toddlers in Part C early intervention. This project spans two phases. For Phase 1, our team developed and documented a series of steps utilizing user-centered design (UCD) strategies (e.g., recruiting potential users, creating a prototype, engaging in iterative development) for the purpose of redesigning an assessment protocol for a remote environment. For Phase 2, we examined preliminary outcomes of the redesign process. Primary end users (assessors) rated post-redesign usability and acceptability, while acceptability was examined using attrition data from secondary end users (family participants). Preliminary fidelity of implementation was also examined. The iterative redesign process allowed the research team to refine aspects of the assessment that ultimately led to promising preliminary ratings of usability, acceptability, and feasibility, as well as high fidelity. Preliminary data suggest that the redesigned assessment appears to be an acceptable, feasible, and usable tool for autism clinical trial research and that assessors can use it with fidelity. Further research is needed to examine the reliability and validity of the assessment, as well as implementation characteristics on a larger scale.

Titre : Brief Report: The Preliminary Psychometric Properties of the Social Communication Checklist Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Allison L. WAINER, Auteur ; Natalie I. BERGER, Auteur ; Brooke R. INGERSOLL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1231-1238 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder Social communication Social communication checklist Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Despite the expansion of early intervention approaches for young children with ASD, investigators have struggled to identify measures capable of assessing social communication change in response to these interventions. Addressing recent calls for efficient, sensitive, and reliable social communication measures, the current paper outlines the refinement and validation of the Social Communication Checklist (SCC). We discuss two small studies exploring the psychometric properties of the SCC and the SCC-R (revised Social Communication Checklist), including sensitivity to change, inter-rater reliability, and test-retest reliability, in two samples of children with ASD and one sample of typically-developing children. Results indicate this measure is reliable, sensitive to change after a brief social communication intervention, and strongly related to well-established measures of social communicative functioning.

We focus on synchronous virtual assessments in which clinicians guide the child's caregiver through a range of assessment activities and observe spontaneous and elicited behaviors. Assessments are compared on dimensions of targeted behavioral domains, specific activities and presses employed, scoring approaches, and other key logistical considerations to guide instrument selection for use in varied clinical and research contexts.

Families were randomly assigned to a self-directed or therapist-assisted program. Parents in both groups improved their intervention fidelity, self-efficacy, stress, and positive perceptions of their child; however, the therapist-assisted group had greater gains in parent fidelity and positive perceptions of child. Children in both groups improved on language measures, with a trend towards greater gains during a parent–child interaction for the therapist-assisted group. Only the children in the therapist-assisted group improved in social skills. Both models show promise for delivering parent-mediated intervention; however, therapist assistance provided an added benefit for some outcomes. A full-scale comparative efficacy trial is warranted.
