We also compared these measures between the mothers and the fathers. We assessed 151 families with at least one child with autistic disorder and 113 families of typically developing children in Taiwan. Both parents completed the self-administered questionnaires measuring psychopathology, marital dyadic adjustment, and family function. Both parents of children with autism suffered from more psychopathology and less dyadic consensus than parents of typically developing children; mothers of children with autism, perceived less marital satisfaction, affection expression, family adaptability and cohesion than mothers of typically developing children. We also found that mothers of children with autism displayed more psychopathology and marital maladjustment than did the fathers. These findings highlight that parents of children with autism encounter more psychological problems, marital difficulties and family dysfunction, particularly their mothers.

Preliminary clinical outcomes of a short-term low-intensity Early Start Denver Model implemented in the Taiwanese public health system / Tzu-Ling LIN in Autism, 24-5 (July 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 24-5 (July 2020) . - p.1300-1306 Titre : Preliminary clinical outcomes of a short-term low-intensity Early Start Denver Model implemented in the Taiwanese public health system Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Tzu-Ling LIN, Auteur ; Chung-Hsin CHIANG, Auteur ; Suk Yin HO, Auteur ; Hsin-Chi WU, Auteur ; Ching-Ching WONG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1300-1306 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Early Start Denver Model  autism spectrum disorder  early intervention  low-intensity  short-term Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Early Start Denver Model is a comprehensive naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention for young children with autism spectrum disorder. Rigorous studies indicate that long-term, high-intensity Early Start Denver Model in home-based settings can help young children with autism spectrum disorder have great progress in language, cognitive development, and adaptive skills and reduce overall symptom severity. In accordance with the current limitations in resourcing for early intervention in Taiwan, this study evaluated the effects of implementing the Early Start Denver Model in the Taiwanese public health system with some adaptations, including lower intensity, shorter duration, and delivery in general hospitals. A total of 16 children with autism spectrum disorder, aged between 25 and 46?months, received approximately 8?h per week one-on-one Early Start Denver Model intervention. After 6?months of intervention, the children showed great improvements in language and overall cognitive functioning and reduced symptom severity in communication and play. This study suggests that directly delivering the Early Start Denver Model in community-based hospitals may be an effective intervention, which can make more young children with autism spectrum disorder in Taiwan access the Early Start Denver Model service.

Short-term low-intensity Early Start Denver Model program implemented in regional hospitals in Northern Taiwan / Chung-Hsin CHIANG in Autism, 27-3 (April 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 27-3 (April 2023) . - p.778-787 Titre : Short-term low-intensity Early Start Denver Model program implemented in regional hospitals in Northern Taiwan Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Chung-Hsin CHIANG, Auteur ; Tzu-Ling LIN, Auteur ; Hsiang-Yuan LIN, Auteur ; Suk Yin HO, Auteur ; Ching-Ching WONG, Auteur ; Hsin-Chi WU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.778-787 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder,early intervention,Early Start Denver Model,low-intensity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Early Start Denver Model is an evidence-based, comprehensive naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention for young and very young children with autism spectrum disorder. This interdisciplinary model is suitable for the Taiwanese public health system. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of an Early Start Denver Model program with adaptation, including a lower intensity, shorter duration, and delivery in general hospitals by multidisciplinary professionals. A quasi-experimental study with pre-, post-intervention, and 6-month follow-up was conducted. Forty-five young children with autism spectrum disorder, aged 2-4?years, were grouped into the Early Start Denver Model and control (the usual community treatment) groups. The Early Start Denver Model group received 6?months of one-on-one intervention for approximately 8-9?h per week. Compared with the control group, the Early Start Denver Model group showed greater improvements in overall development quotient and nonverbal development quotient from pre- to post-intervention, but these differences (a Group-by-Time interaction) did not sustain at the 6-month follow-up. Being mindful of some potential threats to internal validity associated with clinical trial designs and implementation, this study provides preliminary evidence to support the effectiveness of the Early Start Denver Model intervention in regional general hospital settings in the context of Han-Chinese-mainly culture.Lay AbstractThe Early Start Denver Model is an evidence-based early intervention program for young and very young children with autism. This interdisciplinary model is used by many types of professionals, such as psychologists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, early child special educators, and paraprofessionals, as well as by parents. Most previous studies on the Early Start Denver Model were conducted in the West, and there are scarce studies on the topics of generalization in culture and countries outside the Western world. In this study, we evaluated the effect of the Early Start Denver Model with some adaptations, including a lower intensity, shorter duration, and delivery in regional general hospitals in Northern Taiwan. In total, 45 young children with autism, aged 2-4?years, were divided into the Early Start Denver Model and community-based control groups. The children in the Early Start Denver Model group received one-on-one intervention for approximately 8-9?h per week for 6?months. The results revealed that compared with the control group, the Early Start Denver Model group showed greater gains in overall development ability and nonverbal development ability from pre- to post-intervention. However, these differences did not sustain at the 6-month follow-up after the completion of the intervention. Being mindful of some caveats in trial designs, this study provides preliminary evidence to support the effectiveness of the Early Start Denver Model intervention in the regional general hospital settings in the context of Han-Chinese-mainly culture. Our findings can provide helpful information to stakeholders and policymakers of early intervention service systems for children with autism in Taiwan, as well as in Asian countries.

Sleep problems among Taiwanese children with autism, their siblings and typically developing children / Miao-Churn CHOU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)

We conducted a case-control study consisting 110 children with autistic disorder, 125 unaffected siblings, and 110 age-, sex-, and parental education-matched typically developing children, aged 4–13 years old. We conducted psychiatric interviews to obtain DSM-IV diagnosis of autistic disorder and confirmed by the Chinese Version of the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised. The mothers were asked to report on the self-administered questionnaires regarding sleep schedules and problems of their children and parenting styles. Our results showed that children with autism had more sleep problems, including early insomnia, middle insomnia, sleep–wake schedule disorders and daytime napping. Their unaffected siblings also had more risk of early insomnia, sleep-talking and nightmares, compared to the typically developing children in non-autistic family. We also found an association between bring-up experience and nightmare, and between maternal overprotection and middle insomnia and sleep–wake schedule disorder. The findings of increased risks for sleep problems in both children with autism and their unaffected sibling suggest that parenting counseling should be included in intervention of sleep problems in children with autism and their siblings.
