CONSORTIUM, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101950 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Child characteristics  Family characteristics  Geographical location  Intervention use Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : When designing and interpreting results from clinical trials evaluating treatments for children on the autism spectrum, a complicating factor is that most children receive a range of concurrent treatments. Thus, it is important to better understand the types and hours of interventions that participants typically receive as part of standard of care, as well as to understand the child, family, and geographic factors that are associated with different patterns of service utilization. In this multi-site study, we interviewed 280 caregivers of 6-to-11-year-old school-aged children on the autism spectrum about the types and amounts of interventions their children received in the prior 6 weeks. Reported interventions were coded as ?evidence-based practice? or ?other interventions,? reflecting the level of empirical support. Results indicated that children received a variety of interventions with varying levels of empirical evidence and a wide range of hours (0?79.3 h/week). Children with higher autism symptom levels, living in particular states, and who identified as non-Hispanic received more evidence-based intervention hours. Higher parental education level related to more hours of other interventions. Children who were younger, had lower cognitive ability, and with higher autism symptom levels received a greater variety of interventions overall. Thus, based on our findings, it would seem prudent when designing clinical trials to take into consideration a variety of factors including autism symptom levels, age, cognitive ability, ethnicity, parent education and geographic location. Future research should continue to investigate the ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic influences on school-aged intervention services.

The purpose of this longitudinal retrospective cohort study was to investigate differences by sex, race, and ethnicity in non-acute (primary and subspecialty) healthcare use by autistic children and youth. Method We used the OneFlorida Data Trust to measure healthcare use for 82,566 autistic children ages 1?21 (2012?2018). We investigated (1) the odds of using any healthcare and (2) annual healthcare usage rates. We adopted a logistic regression and multiple linear regression for each of the dependent variables (total non-acute, primary care, gastroenterology (GI), developmental-behavioral pediatrics (DBP), psychiatry/psychology, neurology, and total subspecialty visits), adjusting for potential confounders (sex, race, ethnicity, age at visit, insurance type, urbanicity, and co-occurring conditions). Results Autistic boys had significantly higher odds of any neurology and psychiatry/psychology visits, but lower annual rates of primary care, GI, and neurology visits. Black/African American autistic children had significantly higher odds of any primary care, DBP, and neurology visits, but lower odds of any GI visits, and lower annual rates of primary care, GI, DBP, and neurology visits. Hispanic/Latinx autistic children had significantly higher odds of any primary care, DBP, and neurology visits, but lower odds of psychiatry/psychology visits; and higher annual rates of neurology visits, but lower annual rates of GI, DBP, and psychiatry/psychology visits. Conclusions We found significant differences by sex, race, and ethnicity in non-acute healthcare use by autistic children.

Examining the highs and lows of teacher self-efficacy for special class teachers working with learners with Autism/Autism Spectrum Disorder / Amy RYAN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 94 (June 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 94 (June 2022) . - 101952 Titre : Examining the highs and lows of teacher self-efficacy for special class teachers working with learners with Autism/Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Amy RYAN, Auteur ; Elizabeth S. MATHEWS, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101952 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Teacher self-efficacy  ASSET  Inclusion  Special education  Professional development Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background According to data provided by the National Council for Special Education (NCSE), between 2020 and 2021, there was a 15% increase in the number of special classes specifically for learners with Autism/Autism Spectrum Disorder (A/ASD) attached to mainstream schools in the Republic of Ireland. Given the considerable growth in A/ASD classes in schools, examining the Teacher Self-Efficacy (TSE) of teachers working there enables us to identify strengths and areas for professional development (PD). Method This paper reports the findings from an Irish study into Teacher Self-Efficacy (TSE) of teachers working in special classes for learners with A/ASD. The study involved a large sample (n = 139) of teachers responding to an online questionnaire. The questionnaire included the Autism Self-Efficacy Scale for Teachers (ASSET). Results Analysis of the completed questionnaires reveals that the areas teachers feel least confident in are their abilities to train peer models, to teach play skills, and to translate assessment information into teaching objectives to the students. They felt most confident in their ability to use visual supports to foster student independence, to describe their student?s characteristics that relate to A/ASD, and to communicate and work effectively with parents or caregivers. Conclusions The findings of this study present implications for professional development for teachers of learners with A/ASD, namely that upskilling is needed in training peer models, play skills, and translating assessment information into teaching objectives. The results also add further evidence to the use of the ASSET as a reliable measure of assessing the Teacher Self-Efficacy for teaching students with A/ASD.

The non-fitness-related benefits of exergames for young individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review / Phoebe O. MORRIS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 94 (June 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 94 (June 2022) . - 101953 Titre : The non-fitness-related benefits of exergames for young individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Phoebe O.

MILLS, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101953 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  Young  Communication  Social Development  Physical Activity  Exergames Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition characterized by social-communication deficits and is often accompanied by an array of autism-specific traits, including cognitive and motor differences. Research has begun to investigate the utility of exergames (virtual exercise games) for combating some of the functionally impairing facets of ASD. However, no review to date has investigated the positive effects of exergaming for young autistic individuals, exclusive of their effects on fitness-related/health-related outcomes. Methods We systematically reviewed the literature for articles published between 1990 and 2020, which aimed to examine the effectiveness of exergames for targeting some of the facets observed in autistic children, exclusive of physical fitness-related outcomes. Results Out of 193 relevant articles, 10 met the inclusion criteria. Some studies showed initial beneficial effects of exergaming for executive function and motor skills, however more work is needed to examine the beneficial effects of exergaming for social development in young autistic individuals. Conclusion The present review suggests the potential use of exergaming for enhancing some functions in ASD and future research is needed to expand the use of exergames for supporting social-communication skills. Furthermore, additional studies using rigorous research designs are needed to draw stronger conclusions about the effects of exergames for the young autistic population.

Predictors of self-reported resilience in parents of autistic children / Jessica M. SCHWARTZMAN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 94 (June 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 94 (June 2022) . - 101954 Titre : Predictors of self-reported resilience in parents of autistic children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jessica M. SCHWARTZMAN, Auteur ; Maria Estefania MILLAN, Auteur ; Grace W. GENGOUX, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101954 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Parents  Resilience  Predictors  Stress  Regression Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Though an emerging evidence base has documented the elevated stress and unique challenges among parents of autistic children, less is known about resilience. Based on the resilience-stress model (Fletcher & Sarkar, 2013; Masten, 2011), resilience may be a promising area of investigation given its inverse relationship with stress. Method Fifty parents of autistic children (4:0?10:11 years) self-reported resilience on the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and completed additional questionnaires, which were categorized into three classes of predictors: psychological functioning, child factors and parenting stress, and positive mental health practices. Regression analyses were conducted to identify the amount of variance in CD-RISC scores explained by the overall model and each class of predictors. The relative strength of individual predictors was investigated. Results The overall model accounted for 66% of the variance in self-reported resilience scores. Two classes of predictors were significant ? psychological functioning and positive mental health practices ? while child factors and parenting stress were not. Specifically, the class of psychological functioning variables accounted for 45% of the variance in resilience scores and positive mental health practices accounted for an additional 19%. The individual predictors of anxiety, stress, optimism, and self-compassion were the most robust. Conclusions Findings indicate that certain factors ? anxiety, stress, optimism, and self-compassion ? are important in understanding self-reported resilience among some parents of autistic children. This may suggest treatment targets for resilience interventions. Continued investigations with larger, more representative samples are needed to expand the present findings.

The current study evaluated neural activation in participants with ASD and neurotypical (NT) controls during a speech production task. Methods Neural activities of participants with ASD (N = 15, M = 16.7 years, language abilities ranged from low verbal abilities to verbally fluent) and NT controls (N = 12, M = 17.1 years) was examined using functional magnetic resonance imaging with a sparse-sampling paradigm. Results There were no differences between the ASD and NT groups in average speech activation or inter-subject run-to-run variability in speech activation. Intra-subject run-to-run neural variability was greater in the ASD group and was positively correlated with autism severity in cortical areas associated with speech.

Examining clinicians? concerns delivering telemental health interventions directly to autistic individuals during COVID-19 / Lucy ADAMS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 94 (June 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 94 (June 2022) . - 101956 Titre : Examining clinicians? concerns delivering telemental health interventions directly to autistic individuals during COVID-19 Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lucy ADAMS, Auteur ; Nicoletta ADAMO, Auteur ; Matthew J.

Pre-pandemic, clinicians had voiced many TMH concerns, but these had not been investigated with respect to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) even with it being known that there are distinct ASD-associated challenges for in-person mental health interventions. Method A convenience sample of (n = 55) clinicians completed an online survey regarding their perspectives of adopting TMH interventions in ASD, with closed- and open-answered questions. Quantitative and qualitative data were analysed descriptively/inferentially and via Content Analysis, respectively. Results Multiple clinicians endorsed each TMH challenges/barrier previously identified as concerns in the non-ASD literature. However, overall levels of concern over challenges/barriers were low, and challenges were more likely to be predicted than experienced and considered to be case/presentation specific. Challenges that were considered ASD-specific included the exacerbation of those associated with in-person delivery in ASD, alongside difficulties with trust and appropriate remote social behaviour. On average, clinicians indicated a preference for 50% TMH interventions post-pandemic. Clinicians? perceived technological competence and extent of professional experience with ASD were not significantly associated with levels of concern, nor number of experienced challenges, with TMH interventions in ASD. Conclusion In support of the existing TMH literature, challenges/barriers were more likely to be predicted than experienced and were considered to be case/presentation-specific, though this may be more variable in ASD owing to the well-established marked heterogeneity in this population. Remote provision of interventions exacerbated in-person ASD-associated challenges, as predicted, but clinician-level factors appeared not to impact TMH perceptions.

Clinicians? perceived technological competence and extent of professional experience with ASD were not significantly associated with levels of concern, nor number of experienced challenges, with TMH interventions in ASD. Conclusion In support of the existing TMH literature, challenges/barriers were more likely to be predicted than experienced and were considered to be case/presentation-specific, though this may be more variable in ASD owing to the well-established marked heterogeneity in this population. Remote provision of interventions exacerbated in-person ASD-associated challenges, as predicted, but clinician-level factors appeared not to impact TMH perceptions.

Brief report: Parent-guided movements during play with children with autism spectrum disorder / Natasha YAMANE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 94 (June 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 94 (June 2022) . - 101968 Titre : Brief report: Parent-guided movements during play with children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Natasha YAMANE, Auteur ; Arielle D. SNOW, Auteur ; Deborah A. FEIN, Auteur ; Letitia NAIGLES, Auteur ; Sylvie GOLDMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101968 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Dyad  Parental strategies  Movement behaviors  Receptive language Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) demonstrate social and communication impairments from an early age. While researchers have long investigated parenting behaviors in relation to children?s social and communication development, fewer studies have examined the relevance of movement-based parenting behaviors to facilitating communication and social engagement with young children. The present study aimed to investigate: (1) parent-guided movements (PGMs) within dyads of parents and typically developing (TD) children and children with ASD; and (2) children?s ASD diagnostic and receptive language scores as predictors of PGM frequency. Method Video-recorded play interactions of 33 TD dyads (mean age: 20.4 months) and 31 dyads with ASD (mean age: 32.6 months) were matched on child?s expressive language. Data were obtained from a longitudinal study on developmental language trajectories in ASD and coded for PGMs. Results Overall, parents of children with ASD initiated PGMs more frequently than parents of TD children during play (U = 269.00, z = ? 3.58, p < 0.001). PGM frequency was predicted by children?s ADOS scores (X2 = 5.46, p = 0.02, OR = 1.26, 95% CI [1.04, 1.54]) and receptive language (X2 = 4.15, p = 0.04, OR = 5.43, 95% CI [1.10, 27.67]). Conclusions Findings suggest that parents of children with ASD and low receptive language may utilize more movement-based strategies to compensate for their children?s impaired social engagement and verbal comprehension. This study offers insight on a particular movement-based modality characterizing ASD dyads that can be used as a measure in parent-mediated interventions.

DHANASEKARA, Auteur ; Sarah WAKEFIELD, Auteur ; Naima MOUSTAID-MOUSSA, Auteur ; Ann MASTERGEORGE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101969 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Underweight  Systematic review  Meta-analysis  Meta-regression Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background & Aims Multiple observational studies have examined the association between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and underweight, yet the evidence remains ambiguous. We examined the pooled prevalence and relative risk of developing underweight among children with ASD in a systematic review and meta-analysis and examined the effects of potential risk factors in a meta-regression. Methods ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases were systematically searched and screened per the PRISMA guidelines. DerSimonian?Laird random-effects meta-analyses were performed using the ?meta? package in R to determine the pooled prevalence and the relative risk of underweight among children with ASD. Meta-regression analyses examined the moderator effects of risk factors. Results Underweight had a prevalence of 6.5% (95% CI, 5.1?8.2) among children with ASD overall (29 study groups). Children with ASD possessed a 28.5% (8 studies) greater risk of being underweight vs. neurotypical controls. Meta-regression analyses revealed that non-Caucasian origin and male sex may increase the risk of being underweight in children with ASD. Conclusions Children with ASD seem to be at an increased risk of being underweight, which may further impair the clinical outcomes and quality of life. Clinicians need to vigilantly monitor weight and height among children with ASD to prevent underweight and associated complications. Future studies should aim to establish factors that may contribute to the development of underweight among children with ASD.

Pragmatic language markers of autism diagnosis and severity / Jill K. DOLATA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 94 (June 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 94 (June 2022) . - 101970 Titre : Pragmatic language markers of autism diagnosis and severity Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jill K. DOLATA, Auteur ; Shannon SUAREZ, Auteur ; Beth CALAME, Auteur ; Eric FOMBONNE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101970 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Language assessment  Parent report  Social communication Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Purpose Assessment of pragmatic language difficulties is limited with conventional tests but can be performed with informant reports. We evaluated the performance of a parent-completed language scale in differentiating autism from typical development (TD) and another neurodevelopmental disorder. Specifically, we aimed to gauge the respective values of structural and pragmatic language scores for diagnostic discrimination and for predicting severity of social impairment in autistic children. Method 174 children aged 7?17 (101 with autism, 45 with ADHD, 28 with TD) were evaluated with the ADOS-2 and an abbreviated version of the WISC. Parents completed the Children?s Communication Checklist, 2nd Edition (CCC-2) and the Social Responsiveness Scale. CCC-2 mean differences across diagnostic groups were tested with analysis of variance and covariance. Multiple linear regression was used to compare the structural and pragmatic CCC-2 scores in predicting autism symptom severity. Results Both structural and pragmatic language scores discriminated between the three diagnostic groups, with stronger effects for the pragmatic scores. Pragmatic scores remained robust predictors of ADHD and ASD diagnoses even after accounting for cognitive and structural linguistic differences. Among autistic children, social impairment severity was associated with pragmatic, but not structural, language profiles. Conclusions In order to characterize pragmatic language, easy to administer parent questionnaires such as the CCC-2 may support clinicians who are considering an autism diagnosis and needing to evaluate and monitor social communication.
