This brief investigation was designed to identify areas of strength and difficulty for teachers implementing one such EBP, pivotal response training (PRT). Observational data were gathered from 41 teachers participating in two separate investigations involving PRT. Despite differences in training procedures, teachers demonstrated similarities in areas of strength (clear opportunities/instruction and child choice) and difficulty (turn taking and multiple cues). These findings suggest next steps toward systematic adaptation of PRT for classroom use. The research may serve as a model for the process of adapting EBPs for practice settings.

Services for children with autism spectrum disorder in three, large urban school districts: Perspectives of parents and educators / Suzannah IADAROLA in Autism, 19-6 (August 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 19-6 (August 2015) . - p.694-703 Titre : Services for children with autism spectrum disorder in three, large urban school districts: Perspectives of parents and educators Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Suzannah IADAROLA, Auteur ; Susan HETHERINGTON, Auteur ; Christopher CLINTON, Auteur ; Michelle DEAN, Auteur ; Erica REISINGER, Auteur ; Linh HUYNH, Auteur ; Jill LOCKE, Auteur ; Kelly CONN, Auteur ; Sara HEINERT, Auteur ; Sheryl KATAOKA, Auteur ; Robin HARWOOD, Auteur ; Tristram SMITH, Auteur ; David S. MANDELL, Auteur ; Connie KASARI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.694-703 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  community-based participatory research  qualitative research  school-based intervention  urban environments Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study used qualitative methods to evaluate the perceptions of parents, educators, and school administrators in three large, urban school districts (Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Rochester) regarding services for children with autism spectrum disorder within the context of limited district resources. Facilitators followed a standard discussion guide that contained open-ended questions regarding participants’ views on strengths and limitations of existing services and contextual factors that would facilitate or inhibit the process of introducing new interventions. Three primary themes were identified: (1) tension between participant groups (teachers and paraprofessionals, staff and administration, teachers and parents, special education and general education teachers), (2) necessity of autism spectrum disorder–specific and behavioral training for school personnel, and (3) desire for a school culture of accepting difference. These themes highlight the importance of developing trainings that are feasible to deliver on a large scale, that focus on practical interventions, and that enhance communication and relationships of school personnel with one another and with families.

The role of treatment fidelity on outcomes during a randomized field trial of an autism intervention / David S. MANDELL in Autism, 17-3 (May 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 17-3 (May 2013) . - p.281-295 Titre : The role of treatment fidelity on outcomes during a randomized field trial of an autism intervention Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : David S. MANDELL, Auteur ; Aubyn C. STAHMER, Auteur ; Sujie SHIN, Auteur ; Ming XIE, Auteur ; Erica REISINGER, Auteur ; Steven C. MARCUS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.281-295 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  fidelity  implementation science  randomized trials  school-based intervention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This randomized field trial comparing Strategies for Teaching based on Autism Research and Structured Teaching enrolled educators in 33 kindergarten-through-second-grade autism support classrooms and 119 students, aged 5–8 years in the School District of Philadelphia. Students were assessed at the beginning and end of the academic year using the Differential Ability Scales. Program fidelity was measured through video coding and use of a checklist. Outcomes were assessed using linear regression with random effects for classroom and student. Average fidelity was 57% in Strategies for Teaching based on Autism Research classrooms and 48% in Structured Teaching classrooms. There was a 9.2-point (standard deviation = 9.6) increase in Differential Ability Scales score over the 8-month study period, but no main effect of program. There was a significant interaction between fidelity and group. In classrooms with either low or high program fidelity, students in Strategies for Teaching based on Autism Research experienced a greater gain in Differential Ability Scales score than students in Structured Teaching (11.2 vs 5.5 points and 11.3 vs 8.9 points, respectively). In classrooms with moderate fidelity, students in Structured Teaching experienced a greater gain than students in Strategies for Teaching based on Autism Research (10.1 vs 4.4 points). The results suggest significant variability in implementation of evidence-based practices, even with supports, and also suggest the need to address challenging issues related to implementation measurement in community settings.
