Adaptive Functioning in Autism Spectrum Disorder During the Transition to Adulthood / Nicole L. MATTHEWS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-8 (August 2015)

Profiles on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition were examined by age and intellectual ability in 75 participants with ASD (16–58 years). Results extend previous reports of a cognitive advantage over adaptive functioning in children by demonstrating a similar pattern in an older sample. Daily living skills were a relative strength compared to communication and socialization in adults, but not adolescents. In general, highest subdomain scores were observed in writing skills and lowest scores were observed in interpersonal skills. Regardless of cognitive ability, all standard scores were well below average, indicating a need for lifelong intervention that targets adaptive functioning.

An Exploration of Online and In-Person Administration of the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test, Second Edition (KBIT-2) in Children and Adolescents Being Evaluated for Autism Spectrum Disorder / Joshua Anbar in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-4 (April 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 55-4 (April 2024) . - p.1243-1253 Titre : An Exploration of Online and In-Person Administration of the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test, Second Edition (KBIT-2) in Children and Adolescents Being Evaluated for Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Joshua Anbar, Auteur ; Maurice METOYER, Auteur ; Christopher J. SMITH, Auteur ; Nicole L. MATTHEWS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1243-1253 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Purpose: Most assessment tools used to diagnose and characterize autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were developed for in-person administration. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic resulted in the need to adapt traditional assessment tools for online administration with only minimal evidence to support validity of such practices. Methods: The current exploratory study compared scores from online administration of the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test, Second Edition (KBIT-2) during the pandemic to scores derived from follow-up testing using traditional in-person administration. Participants were 47 children and adolescents (M age = 9.48 years, SD = 4.06; 68.10% male) who participated in a telehealth diagnostic evaluation for ASD that included online administration of the KBIT-2. Participants were invited to complete the KBIT-2 a second time during an in-person study visit. Results: Pearson?s correlation coefficients suggested acceptable to good reliability between online and in-person administration. Although most participants' online and in-person scores were within one standard deviation of each other, results suggested statistically significant differences between scores derived from the two modalities. Additionally, 19-26% of participants (depending on domain examined) had scores that differed by more than one standard deviation. Notably, all but one of these participants was under the age of 12 years. Conclusion: Findings suggest that online administration of the KBIT-2 is likely appropriate for older children and adolescents with ASD. However, additional research is needed to test online administration of intellectual assessments for children with ASD.

College Students’ Perceptions of Peers with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Nicole L. MATTHEWS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-1 (January 2015)

Affective, behavioral, and cognitive attitudes toward vignette characters displaying behaviors characteristic of ASD were examined among 224 four-year university students who were randomly assigned to one of three labeling conditions for the primary vignette characters: high functioning autism (HFA), typical college student, or no label. Students in the HFA label condition reported more positive behavioral and cognitive attitudes toward the vignette characters than students in the no label condition. Male students and students with lower scores on the Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire reported more positive attitudes across study conditions. These experimental results suggest that knowledge of a diagnosis might improve attitudes toward college students with ASD.

Parent and child outcomes of JumpStart™, an education and training program for parents of children with autism spectrum disorder / Nicole L. MATTHEWS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 56 (December 2018)

SMITH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.21-35 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Early intervention  Parent training  Parent education  Pivotal Response Treatment  Behavioral Skills Training Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background This pilot study examined the effectiveness of JumpStart™, a 4-week education program including a Behavioral Skills Training model for parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). JumpStart aims to teach parents to begin implementing evidence-based behavioral intervention while learning to navigate service systems in order to establish a comprehensive intervention program. Method Change in parent self-efficacy, knowledge, stress, depressive symptoms, ability to implement intervention, and child responsivity were compared in treatment (n?=?18) and waitlist control (n?=?18) groups. Additionally, exploratory analyses examined 3-month follow-up data in a subset of participants (n?=?12). Results Findings indicated significantly larger increases in parent outcome expectations, parent competence, parent knowledge, fidelity of implementation, and child responsivity in the treatment group compared to the waitlist control group. Three-month follow-up data indicated maintenance of parent outcome expectations, knowledge, and child responsivity. Conclusions Findings provide preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of JumpStart. Given the growing number of children with ASD and finite resources, short-term programs like JumpStart may be an effective method by which parents are able to begin intervening with their child’s development while they arrange for comprehensive services.

SB5 cognitive profiles were observed to be similar between participants with and without early language delay, but different between participants with and without intellectual disability. With few exceptions, the distribution and cognitive profiles of participants with specific nonverbal IQ–verbal IQ and abbreviated IQ–full scale IQ discrepancy patterns paralleled previous reports. A cognitive functioning advantage over adaptive functioning was observed to be strongest in participants without intellectual disability and older participants. The previously reported VABS “autism profile” was not observed. Current findings clarify previous research and will inform the diagnostic process and treatment planning.
