A multi-site collaboration examined the psychometric properties of the ABC-C in 630 individuals (ages 3–25) with FXS using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Results support a six-factor structure, with one factor unchanged (Inappropriate Speech), four modified (Irritability, Hyperactivity, Lethargy/Withdrawal, and Stereotypy), and a new Social Avoidance factor. A comparison with ABC-C data from individuals with general intellectual disability and a list of commonly endorsed items are also reported. Reformulated ABC-C scores based on this FXS-specific factor structure may provide added outcome measure specificity and sensitivity in FXS clinical trials.

A scoping review of behavioral interventions for promoting social gaze in individuals with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities / Kristin M. HUSTYI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 100 (February 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 100 (February 2023) . - 102074 Titre : A scoping review of behavioral interventions for promoting social gaze in individuals with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kristin M. HUSTYI, Auteur ; Alexa H. RYAN, Auteur ; Scott S. HALL, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102074 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Eye contact  Social gaze  Autism spectrum disorder  Developmental disabilities  Scoping review Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) commonly experience difficulties maintaining social gaze with others during interactions. Although behavioral interventions targeted to promote social gaze in ASD are evident in the literature, to our knowledge, no review of the literature has been conducted to summarize and evaluate the evidence for these interventions. Methods We reviewed and summarized behavioral intervention studies designed to promote social gaze in individuals diagnosed with ASD and other developmental disabilities published in English between 1977 and January 2022 using PsychINFO and PubMed databases. Results 41 studies met the inclusion criteria describing interventions conducted on 608 individuals. A variety of intervention strategies were employed to promote social gaze in these individuals including discrete trial instruction, prompting, modeling, and imitation. Most studies employed single-case research designs and reported successful outcomes, but limited data were available concerning the generalization, maintenance and social validity of these interventions. An increasing number of studies utilized technology-based procedures including computer application gameplay, gaze-contingent eye tracking devices and humanoid robots. Conclusions The present review indicates that behavioral interventions can be successfully employed to promote social gaze in individuals with ASD and other developmental disabilities. However, future research is needed to establish the generalization, maintenance and social validity of these interventions. There are also important ethical issues to be addressed given the increasing divide between treatment advocates and proponents of the neurodiversity movement.

A Screening Tool to Measure Eye Contact Avoidance in Boys with Fragile X Syndrome / Scott S. HALL in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-7 (July 2017)

Internal consistency of the scale was acceptable to excellent and convergent validity with the Social Responsiveness Scale, Second Edition (SRS-2) and the Anxiety, Depression, and Mood Scale (ADAMS) was good. Boys with a comorbid ASD diagnosis obtained significantly higher scores on the ECAS compared to boys without ASD, when controlling for communication ability. A confirmatory factor analysis indicated that a two-factor model (avoidance and aversion) provided an excellent fit to the data. The ECAS appears to be a promising reliable and valid tool that could be employed as an outcome measure in future pharmacological/behavioral treatment trials for FXS.

Skill-based treatment for challenging behavior in autism spectrum disorder: A scoping review of treatment characteristics and outcomes / Kristin M. HUSTYI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 119 (January 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 119 (January 2025) . - p.102523 Titre : Skill-based treatment for challenging behavior in autism spectrum disorder: A scoping review of treatment characteristics and outcomes Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kristin M. HUSTYI, Auteur ; Jesse J. LOGUE, Auteur ; Scott S. HALL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102523 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Skill-based treatment  Practical functional assessment  Challenging behavior  Functional communication training  Interview-informed synthesized contingency analysis  Scoping review Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Behavioral interventions based on the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) are considered the gold standard approach for treating challenging behaviors commonly exhibited by children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, questions have arisen concerning the safety of implementing traditional ABA procedures for the treatment of challenging behavior in natural settings. Over the past decade, a treatment package known as skill-based treatment (SBT) has emerged that may allow challenging behaviors in this population to be addressed in a safe, efficient, and effective manner. Methods We reviewed and summarized studies utilizing SBT published in English between 2014 and September 2023 using PsychINFO and PubMed databases. Two independent reviewers screened citations for inclusion. Data abstraction was performed by one reviewer and verified by a second reviewer. Results Twenty-one studies (3 consecutive controlled case series and 18 utilizing single-case experimental designs) met the inclusion criteria describing SBT conducted with 87 individuals. The majority of individuals treated with SBT were autistic children with language levels varying from non-vocal to fully fluent. Treatments were implemented in a variety of settings at least 1-2 times per week, with treatment requiring a range of 4 - 48.5?h of clinician time. Rates of challenging behavior were reported to decrease by 98.2?% (range: 90-100?%) on average. Treatments were implemented via telehealth for 8 individuals (9.2%). Data concerning treatment maintenance was reported for just 7 individuals (8.1?%). Conclusions SBT is a potentially effective treatment procedure for challenging behavior that can be conducted in a variety of settings including the child?s home, school, and via telehealth. However, future research is needed to understand the long-term effectiveness of SBT. Randomized controlled trials of SBT are also necessary in order to study the safety and efficacy of this treatment approach.

The cognitive developmental profile associated with fragile X syndrome: A longitudinal investigation of cognitive strengths and weaknesses through childhood and adolescence / Eve-Marie QUINTIN in Development and Psychopathology, 28-4 pt2 (November 2016)

REISS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1457-1469 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Few studies have investigated developmental strengths and weaknesses within the cognitive profile of children and adolescents with fragile X syndrome (FXS), a single-gene cause of inherited intellectual impairment. With a prospective longitudinal design and using normalized raw scores (Z scores) to circumvent floor effects, we measured cognitive functioning of 184 children and adolescents with FXS (ages 6 to 16) using the Wechsler Scale of Intelligence for Children on one to three occasions for each participant. Participants with FXS received lower raw scores relative to the Wechsler Scale of Intelligence for Children normative sample across the developmental period. Verbal comprehension, perceptual organization, and processing speed Z scores were marked by a widening gap from the normative sample, while freedom from distractibility Z scores showed a narrowing gap. Key findings include a relative strength for verbal skills in comparison with visuospatial–constructive skills arising in adolescence and a discrepancy between working memory (weakness) and processing speed (strength) in childhood that diminishes in adolescence. Results suggest that the cognitive profile associated with FXS develops dynamically from childhood to adolescence. Findings are discussed within the context of aberrant brain morphology in childhood and maturation in adolescence. We argue that assessing disorder-specific cognitive developmental profiles will benefit future disorder-specific treatment research.
