HASTINGS, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.798-805 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Applied Behavior Analysis  Census survey  United kingdom  Autism  Schools Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Over more than a decade, specialist Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) schools or classes for children with autism have developed in the UK and Ireland. However, very little is known internationally about how ABA is defined in practice in school settings, the characteristics of children supported in ABA school settings, and the staffing structures used. To answer these questions, the focus of the present research was a nationwide census of ABA schools throughout the UK. As far as it was possible to ascertain, we achieved a 100% return rate. There were 14 ABA schools and classes throughout the UK, supporting 258 children with autism, and employing 382 staff that supported ABA teaching. The mean ratio for ABA staff to children was 1.4 staff members: 1 child (range 0.7:1–2:1). The majority of all staff members were graduates or had a higher academic qualification (67.7%). This census methodology, if repeated, may help to identify future trends and can provide a baseline for developments in ABA schools/classes in the UK.

Perception of Pointing from Biological Motion Point-Light Displays in Typically Developing Children and Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder / John SWETTENHAM in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 43-6 (June 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 43-6 (June 2013) . - p.1437-1446 Titre : Perception of Pointing from Biological Motion Point-Light Displays in Typically Developing Children and Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : John SWETTENHAM, Auteur ; Anna REMINGTON, Auteur ; Katherine LAING, Auteur ; Rosemary FLETCHER, Auteur ; Mike COLEMAN, Auteur ; Juan-Carlos GOMEZ, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1437-1446 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  ASD  Pointing  Joint attention  Biological motion Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We examined whether the movement involved in a pointing gesture, depicted using point-light displays, is sufficient to cue attention in typically developing children (TD) and children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (aged 8–11 years). Using a Posner-type paradigm, a centrally located display indicated the location of a forthcoming target on 80 % of trials and the opposite location on 20 % of trials. TD children, but not children with ASD, were faster to identify a validly cued target than an invalidly cued target. A scrambled version of the point-light pointing gesture, retaining individual dot speed and direction of movement but not the configuration, produced no validity effect in either group. A video of a pointing gesture produced validity effects in both groups.
