The current study examined whether home language status moderated the effect of a play-based intervention, JASPER, delivered in the classroom, in children with autism. Fifty-nine preschool children with autism received JASPER over eight weeks. Children who received JASPER improved significantly more in their language skills from entry to exit than children in preschool as usual. Home language status moderated the effect of treatment on receptive language where children of diverse linguistic backgrounds made greater gains in receptive language.

Characteristics of socially successful elementary school-aged children with autism / Jill LOCKE in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-1 (January 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 58-1 (January 2017) . - p.94-102 Titre : Characteristics of socially successful elementary school-aged children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jill LOCKE, Auteur ; Justin H.G. WILLIAMS, Auteur ; Wendy SHIH, Auteur ; Connie KASARI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.94-102 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  individual characteristics  school  social skills Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The extant literature demonstrates that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often have difficulty interacting and socially connecting with typically developing classmates. However, some children with ASD have social outcomes that are consistent with their typically developing counterparts. Little is known about this subgroup of children with ASD. This study examined the stable (unlikely to change) and malleable (changeable) characteristics of socially successful children with ASD. Methods This study used baseline data from three intervention studies performed in public schools in the Southwestern United States. A total of 148 elementary-aged children with ASD in 130 classrooms in 47 public schools participated. Measures of playground peer engagement and social network salience (inclusion in informal peer groups) were obtained. Results The results demonstrated that a number of malleable factors significantly predicted playground peer engagement (class size, autism symptom severity, peer connections) and social network salience (autism symptom severity, peer connections, received friendships). In addition, age was the only stable factor that significantly predicted social network salience. Interestingly, two malleable (i.e., peer connections and received friendships) and no stable factors (i.e., age, IQ, sex) predicted overall social success (e.g., high playground peer engagement and social network salience) in children with ASD. Conclusions School-based interventions should address malleable factors such as the number of peer connections and received friendships that predict the best social outcomes for children with ASD.

Characterizing caregiver responses to restricted and repetitive behaviors in toddlers with autism spectrum disorder / Clare HARROP in Autism, 20-3 (April 2016)

This descriptive study documented the presence of restricted and repetitive behaviors in 85 toddlers with autism spectrum disorder as they interacted with their caregiver in a play interaction. For each child restricted and repetitive behavior, a caregiver response/non-response was coded. Caregiver responses were rated as successful or unsuccessful. In all, 83 toddlers demonstrated at least one restricted and repetitive behavior in 10?min. The most common child restricted and repetitive behavior was repetitive object use with 72 children displaying at least one instance of this category of restricted and repetitive behavior. Overall, caregivers responded to fewer than half of their child’s restricted and repetitive behaviors, and caregiver response varied by child restricted and repetitive behavior type. The most common response was redirection. Success varied by child restricted and repetitive behavior type and caregiver response—redirections were most successful for child verbal and motor restricted and repetitive behaviors, whereas physical or verbal responses were rated more successful for repetitive object use and visual restricted and repetitive behaviors. This study represents the first attempt to characterize how caregivers respond to restricted and repetitive behaviors. Toddlers with autism spectrum disorder are already demonstrating a variety of restricted and repetitive behaviors within the context of a free play sessions, and caregivers differentially and naturally respond to them.

Children with autism spectrum disorder and social skills groups at school: a randomized trial comparing intervention approach and peer composition / Connie KASARI in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 57-2 (February 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 57-2 (February 2016) . - p.171-179 Titre : Children with autism spectrum disorder and social skills groups at school: a randomized trial comparing intervention approach and peer composition Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Connie KASARI, Auteur ; Michelle DEAN, Auteur ; Mark KRETZMANN, Auteur ; Wendy SHIH, Auteur ; Felice ORLICH, Auteur ; Rondalyn WHITNEY, Auteur ; Rebecca LANDA, Auteur ; Catherine LORD, Auteur ; Bryan KING, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.171-179 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Social skills groups  autism spectrum disorders  inclusion  peer relationships  teacher child relationship  social networks Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Peer relationships improve for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in clinic-based social skills groups but rarely generalize to real world contexts. This study compares child outcomes of two social skills interventions conducted in schools with children in Kindergarten through fifth grade. Method Children with ASD were randomized to one of two interventions that varied on group composition (mixed typical and ASD vs. all ASD or social difficulties) and intervention approach (didactic SKILLS based vs. activity-based ENGAGE groups). Interventions were implemented at school for 8 weeks (16 sessions) with an 8-week follow-up. Innovative measures of peer nomination and playground peer engagement, as well as teacher reports of child behavior problems and teacher–child relationship were analyzed for 137 children with ASD across four sites. Results On the primary outcome of social network connections from the peer nomination measure, there was no main effect of treatment, but there were moderator effects. Children with low teacher–child closeness or high conflict improved more in their social connections if they received the SKILLS intervention, whereas children with higher teacher–child closeness improved more if they received the ENGAGE intervention. Only two secondary outcome measures yielded significant effects of treatment. Children in the SKILLS groups increased peer engagement and decreased isolation during recess. Child behavior problems and teacher–child closeness moderated peer engagement such that children with higher behavior problems and lower closeness benefitted more from SKILLS groups. Conclusions These findings suggest that social skills groups conducted at school can affect both peer engagement during recess as well as peer acceptability. Child characteristics and teacher–child relationship prior to intervention yield important information on who might benefit from a specific social skills intervention.

Communication growth in minimally verbal children with ASD: The importance of interaction / Charlotte DISTEFANO in Autism Research, 9-10 (October 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 9-10 (October 2016) . - p.1093-1102 Titre : Communication growth in minimally verbal children with ASD: The importance of interaction Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Charlotte DISTEFANO, Auteur ; Wendy SHIH, Auteur ; Ann P. KAISER, Auteur ; Rebecca LANDA, Auteur ; Connie KASARI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1093-1102 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : minimally verbal  language  communication  intervention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Little is known about language development in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) who remain minimally verbal past age 5. While there is evidence that children can develop language after age 5, we lack detailed information. Studies of this population generally focus on discrete language skills without addressing broader social-communication abilities. As communication and social deficits are both inherent to ASD, an examination of not only what language skills are acquired, but how those skills are used in interactions is relevant. Research in typical development has examined how communication interchanges (unbroken back-and-forth exchanges around a unified purpose) develop, which can be used as a framework for studying minimally verbal children. This study examined the interchange use by 55 children with ASD over the course of a 6-month play and engagement-based communication intervention. Half of the children received intervention sessions that also incorporated a speech-generating device (SGD). Interchanges were coded by: frequency, length, function, and initiator (child or adult). Results indicated that children initiated a large proportion of interchanges and this proportion increased over time. The average length and number of interchanges increased over time, with children in the SGD group showing even greater growth. Finally, children's total number of interchanges at baseline was positively associated with their spoken language gains over the course of intervention. This study supports the crucial relationship between social engagement and expressive language development, and highlights the need to include sustained communication interchanges as a target for intervention with this population.
