We compared the effects of two novel interventions—rhythm and robotic therapies, with those of a standard-of-care intervention, on the repetitive behaviors and affective states of 36 children with ASD between 5 and 12 years using a randomized controlled trial design. We coded for frequencies of sensory, negative, and stereotyped behaviors and the duration of positive, negative, and interested affective states in children during early, mid, and late training sessions. In terms of repetitive behaviors, in the early session, the rhythm and robot groups engaged in greater negative behaviors, whereas the comparison group engaged in greater sensory behaviors. With training, the rhythm group reduced negative behaviors whereas there were no training-related changes in the other groups. In terms of affective states, the rhythm and robot groups showed greater negative affect, whereas the comparison group demonstrated greater interested affect across all sessions. With training, the rhythm group showed a reduction in negative affect and an increase in interested affect whereas the robot group showed a reduction in positive affect. Overall, it appears that rhythm-based interventions are socially engaging treatment tools to target core impairments in autism.

In this study, we had the unique opportunity to study praxis performance in deaf children with and without autism spectrum disorder in a fingerspelling context using American Sign Language. A total of 11 deaf children with autism spectrum disorder and 11 typically developing deaf children aged between 5 and 14 years completed a fingerspelling task. Children were asked to fingerspell 15 different words shown on an iPad. We coded various praxis errors and fingerspelling time. The deaf children with autism spectrum disorder had greater errors in pace, sequence precision, accuracy, and body part use and also took longer to fingerspell each word. Additionally, the deaf children with autism spectrum disorder had poor receptive language skills and this strongly correlated with their praxis performance and autism severity. These findings extend the evidence for dyspraxia in hearing children with autism spectrum disorder to deaf children with autism spectrum disorder. Poor sign language production in children with autism spectrum disorder may contribute to their poor gestural learning/comprehension and vice versa. Our findings have therapeutic implications for children with autism spectrum disorder when teaching sign language.

Evidence-based guidelines for physical activity programs to address the lifelong needs of this population are presently unavailable. Our systematic review critically appraises the research to date on the effects of physical activity/exercise-based interventions on physical fitness, motor skills, core autism symptoms, and functional participation in young adults with autism spectrum disorder between 19 and 30 years. We reviewed 22 experimental and quasi-experimental studies that assessed the effects of physical activity/exercise-based interventions in 763 young adults with autism spectrum disorder. Evidence is strongest for improvements of medium-to-large size in physical fitness followed by medium-to-large improvements in motor outcomes, medium-to-large improvements in psychological function, and small-to-large improvements in quality of life. Aerobic, resistance, and movement skill/sport-specific training can improve cardiovascular function and muscular strength/endurance in young adults. Movement/sport training can help improve fundamental motor skills. Finally, holistic interventions combining elements of physical activity, diet, and lifestyle modifications are effective in improving outcomes related to body composition and quality of life in young adults. There is presently insufficient evidence for improvements in physical activity engagement or core autism symptoms following exercise interventions. We provide recommendations for assessment and intervention for clinicians working with young adults with autism spectrum disorder. Lay abstract Young adults with autism spectrum disorder over 18 years of age are an underserved population, and there is presently limited evidence examining the effects of physical activity programs in this population. Our review synthesizes the evidence to date from studies that have assessed the effects of physical activity/exercise programs in young adults with autism spectrum disorder between 19 and 30 years. We reviewed 22 studies that included a total of 763 young adults with autism spectrum disorder. There is the strongest evidence for improvements in physical fitness, followed by motor skills, psychological function, and quality of life following physical activity interventions in young adults with autism spectrum disorder. Specifically, aerobic and resistance training as well as programs focused on movement skill and sport-specific training lead to improved physical fitness and movement performance. Holistic interventions focusing on physical activity, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications lead to improvements in body composition and quality of life of young adults with autism spectrum disorder. There is presently limited evidence to support the use of exercise/activity programs to improve physical activity levels and core autism symptoms in young adults with autism spectrum disorder.

Efficacy of a novel augmentative and alternative communication system in promoting requesting skills in young children with Autism Spectrum  Disorder in India: A pilot study / Sudha SRINIVASAN in Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 7 (January-December 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism & Developmental Language Impairments > 7 (January-December 2022) Titre : Efficacy of a novel augmentative and alternative communication system in promoting requesting skills in young children with Autism Spectrum  Disorder in India: A pilot study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sudha SRINIVASAN, Auteur ; Siddhi PATEL, Auteur ; Avadhut KHADE, Auteur ; Gaganjot BEDI, Auteur ; Jyoti MOHITE, Auteur ; Ajanta SEN, Auteur ; Ravi POOVAIAH, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Augmentative and alternative communication  autism spectrum disorders  communication and language  requesting skills  culturally-valid AAC intervention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background & aims: The study assessed the efficacy of a novel, child-friendly, socio-culturally sensitive, icon-based Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) system called Jellow Communicator, in teaching requesting skills to young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in a special school in Mumbai, India. Jellow is a comprehensive AAC system with a lexicon and pictorial library designed using a participatory, user-centric design process. The content of Jellow has been developed bearing in mind the socio-cultural and linguistic diversity of India. Jellow is available in low-tech (flashcards, booklet) and high-tech (Android and iOS app and desktop application) versions. Methods: The quasi-experimental longitudinal study involved seventeen 3.5 “12-year-old children with ASD with communication challenges. Children were taught to use the Jellow AAC system to request for preferred items, as part of their regular speech therapy sessions. Each child received one-on-one training sessions with a licensed speech therapist twice a week over a 3-month duration, with each session lasting around 20 “30 min. A systematic training protocol adapted from the original Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) was developed to train children to use the Jellow system, progressing from flashcards to the app version of Jellow. Behavioral training strategies such as modeling, least-to-most prompting, differential reinforcement, and behavior chain interruption were used to facilitate requesting behaviors. The speech therapist assessed children’s developmental level across multiple domains at pretest and posttest. We coded 3 videos per child, i.e., one early, one mid, and one late training session each, to assess changes in children’s stage of communication, spontaneous requesting abilities, level of attention during training trials, and average time to completion for requesting trials. In addition, caregivers filled out questionnaires to assess training-related changes in children’s adaptive functioning levels as well as the psychosocial impact of the Jellow AAC system on children’s quality of life. Results: Children significantly improved their stage of communication, and a majority of children transitioned from flashcards to using the Jellow app to request for preferred items. Children also increased the proportion of spontaneous requests over the course of training. Caregivers reported a positive perceived psychosocial impact of the Jellow AAC system on their child’s self-esteem, adaptability, and competence. Conclusions: The findings from our pilot study support the use of the novel, socio-culturally adapted, Jellow Communicator AAC system for teaching requesting skills to young children with ASD who use multiple communication modalities. Future studies should replicate our findings with a larger group of participants using a randomized controlled trial design. Implications: This is the first experimental study to systematically assess the effects of an indigenously-developed comprehensive AAC system adapted to the sociocultural and linguistic landscape of India. Our study results provide support for the use of the cost-effective Jellow Communicator AAC system in facilitating requesting skills in children with ASD who use multiple communication modalities. Clinicians can use low-tech and high-tech versions of Jellow to promote communication skills in children with ASD.

Impaired praxis in gesture imitation by deaf children with autism spectrum disorder / Aaron SHIELD in Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2 (January-December 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism & Developmental Language Impairments > 2 (January-December 2017) Titre : Impaired praxis in gesture imitation by deaf children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Aaron SHIELD, Auteur ; Krista KNAPKE, Auteur ; Morgan HENRY, Auteur ; Sudha SRINIVASAN, Auteur ; Anjana N. BHAT, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background and aimsPraxis, the ability to plan and execute a series of gestures or motor sequences, is impaired in individuals with autism spectrum disorder. In this paper, we present the first study of praxis during a gesture imitation task in a unique population of children with autism spectrum disorder: deaf children who have been exposed to American Sign Language from birth by their Deaf parents. Lifelong exposure to sign language in deaf individuals entails practice with gesture imitation. We ask if deaf, signing children with autism spectrum disorder present with praxis impairments similar to those reported in the literature for hearing children with autism spectrum disorder not exposed to sign.MethodsThirty deaf children of Deaf parents (16 typically developing and 14 with autism spectrum disorder), matched for chronological and mental age, were tested on a simple gesture imitation task. Children were asked to imitate 24 gestures performed by an adult model on a laptop computer that varied along dimensions of movement type (16 trials) and palm orientation direction (eight trials). Data were coded for nine praxis parameters (five formation parameters and four manner parameters) and three timing measures.ResultsResults showed that the deaf children with autism spectrum disorder produced more errors than the typically developing deaf children on six of the nine praxis dimensions (hand orientation, final orientation, modulation, directness, pace, and overflow) and were more impaired on manner parameters than formation parameters, suggesting underlying deficits in motor control/coordination leading to dyspraxia. Praxis scores were strongly related to severity of autism spectrum disorder symptoms and receptive sign language scores.ConclusionsWe thus find evidence that praxis is impaired in deaf, signing children with autism spectrum disorder, despite lifelong exposure to a gestural language and extensive practice with gesture imitation.ImplicationsOur findings suggest that interventions targeted toward enhancing praxis and coordination of finger and hand movements could help facilitate language development in children with autism spectrum disorder.
