Comparing PECS and VOCA to promote communication opportunities and to reduce stereotyped behaviors by three girls with Rett syndrome / Fabrizio STASOLLA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-10 (October 2014)

The first aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of both aforementioned strategies by enhancing request and choices of preferred items by the participants involved to a caregiver. The second goal of the study was to assess the effects of the intervention program by reducing stereotyped behaviors (i.e. body rocking and hand movements). Finally, the third purpose was to carry out the indices of happiness and monitor quality of life concerning the participants exposed to the intervention program. The study was carried out according to an alternating treatments design with a final preference check phase for each participant. Results showed an increasing of independent requested and chosen items as well as of indices of happiness during intervention phases for all participants. Moreover, two of them chose VOCA strategy during preference checks phase, while the third one equally chose both strategies. Furthermore, a decreasing of stereotypies was observed during intervention phases for the three participants. Clinical, educational and psychological implications of the findings are discussed.

A microswitch-cluster program to enhance object manipulation and to reduce hand mouthing by three boys with autism spectrum disorders and intellectual disabilities / Fabrizio STASOLLA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-9 (September 2014)

A second goal of the study was to monitor the effect of such program on the indices of happiness of the participants. The study has been carried out according to an ABB1AB1 sequence, where A represented baseline phases, B represented intervention phase in which the adaptive response (i.e. object manipulation) was followed by a contingent positive stimulation irrespective of challenge behavior (i.e. hand mouthing), and B1 indicated intervention phases in which an adaptive response was followed by a contingent positive stimulation only if it occurred with the simultaneous absence of the challenge behavior. Otherwise, positive stimulation was interrupted if the challenge behavior was exhibited during its supply. Results showed an increasing of the adaptive responses and a decrease of the challenge behavior during intervention phases. All participants spent less time with the exhibition of challenge behavior, during intervention phases, compared to baseline sessions. Finally, the indices of happiness augmented during intervention phases. Clinical, practical and psychological implications of the findings are discussed.

Promoting adaptive behaviors by two girls with Rett syndrome through a microswitch-based program / Fabrizio STASOLLA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-10 (October 2013)

To enhance the first behavior (access to preferred stimuli) a wobble microswitch (sensitive touch sensor) was used while for the second behavior (step responses) optic sensors were applied. A second aim of the study was to monitor indices of happiness as consequence of the use of assistive technology. Finally, a third objective of the study was the reduction of hand washing and body rocking related stereotypies. The study was carried out according to a multiple probe design across behaviors for both participants, where the two behaviors were first learned independently, then combined together. Results showed an increasing of performance and of indices of happiness and a decreasing of stereotyped behaviors for both participants during intervention phases. Practical, psychological and clinical implications of the findings are discussed.

The program included two functional activities for each participant (i.e. coloring and using a personal computer with a multimedia software for reading and writing) according to a multi-elements baseline design, during classroom. Both participants showed a preference for the computer activity during the choice phase. Results showed an increasing of constructive engagement, according to both functional activities, and a reduction of stereotyped behaviors during intervention phases for both participants. Psychological as well as practical implications of the findings are discussed.

Self monitoring to promote on-task behavior by two high functioning boys with autism spectrum disorders and symptoms of ADHD / Fabrizio STASOLLA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-5 (May 2014)

A second aim of the study was to reduce stereotyped behaviors for both boys. Finally, a third goal was to verify the effects of the intervention on the participant's mood. The study was conducted according to a non concurrent multiple baseline design across participants. Results show an increase of on-task behavior and indices of happiness during the intervention phase. Moreover, the stereotyped behaviors decreased during intervention phase for both boys. Participants maintained their performance during the maintenance phase, which occurred a month after the end of the intervention. The effectiveness of the rehabilitation program was confirmed by 72 university students involved in a social validation assessment as raters. Psychological and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
