Comparison of Behavioral Intervention and Sensory-Integration Therapy in the Treatment of Challenging Behavior / Sarah DEVLIN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 41-10 (October 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 41-10 (October 2011) . - p.1303-1320 Titre : Comparison of Behavioral Intervention and Sensory-Integration Therapy in the Treatment of Challenging Behavior Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sarah DEVLIN, Auteur ; Olive HEALY, Auteur ; Geraldine LEADER, Auteur ; Brian M. HUGHES, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.1303-1320 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Challenging behavior  Behavioral intervention  Sensory-integration therapy  Cortisol  Stress-responsivity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The objective of the current study was to compare the effects of sensory-integration therapy (SIT) and a behavioral intervention on rates of challenging behavior (including self-injurious behavior) in four children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. For each of the participants a functional assessment was conducted to identify the variables maintaining challenging behavior. Results of these assessments were used to design function-based behavioral interventions for each participant. Recommendations for the sensory-integration treatment were designed by an Occupational Therapist, trained in the use of sensory-integration theory and techniques. The sensory-integration techniques were not dependent on the results of the functional assessments. The study was conducted within an alternating treatments design, with initial baseline and final best treatment phase. For each participant, results demonstrated that the behavioral intervention was more effective than the sensory integration therapy in the treatment of challenging behavior. In the best treatment phase, the behavioral intervention alone was implemented and further reduction was observed in the rate of challenging behavior. Analysis of saliva samples revealed relatively low levels of cortisol and very little stress-responsivity across the SIT condition and the behavioral intervention condition, which may be related to the participants’ capacity to perceive stress in terms of its social significance.

Salivary cortisol levels and challenging behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder / Sinéad LYDON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 10 (February 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 10 (February 2015) . - p.78-92 Titre : Salivary cortisol levels and challenging behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sinéad LYDON, Auteur ; Olive HEALY, Auteur ; Michelle ROCHE, Auteur ; Rebecca HENRY, Auteur ; Teresa MULHERN, Auteur ; Brian M. HUGHES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.78-92 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Stress  Cortisol  Challenging behavior  Stereotypy  Repetitive behavior Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A relationship between stress and challenging behavior in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been theorized but infrequently examined empirically. The current study sought to examine the relationship between a parent-reported measure of stress, a physiological measure of stress (diurnal salivary cortisol), and various topographies of challenging behavior among 61 children and adolescents diagnosed with ASD between the ages of three and 18 years. Significant differences in cortisol levels between those engaging in high and low rates of stereotyped behavior were observed such that higher levels of stereotypy appeared an overt manifestation of higher levels of stress. A comparison between a subset of participants with ASD and typically developing peers matched on age, gender, and pubertal status failed to yield any differences in diurnal cortisol levels or cortisol variability between the two groups. The results of the current study suggest that similar levels of stress may exist among children with autism and their typically developing peers, but that for a subset of individuals with ASD, stereotyped behavior may be an indicator of elevated cortisol levels.
