Evaluation of the efficacy of Social Stories™ using three single subject metrics / Georgina REYNHOUT in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-2 (April-June 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 5-2 (April-June 2011) . - p.885-900 Titre : Evaluation of the efficacy of Social Stories™ using three single subject metrics Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Georgina REYNHOUT, Auteur ; Mark CARTER, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.885-900 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Social Stories  Behavioural intervention  Special education Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Social Stories™ are a popular intervention used with individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other disabilities. Most of the research conducted to date has involved small n designs. Previous meta-analyses of this research have involved relatively small numbers of studies and issues such as selection bias and failure to evaluate methodological quality and have confounded the findings. The present article addresses the limitations of the previous meta-analyses and evaluates 62 studies using three small n metrics, focussing on whether Social Stories were effective with individuals with ASD or other disabilities. It was also determined whether efficacy varied systematically across study or participant characteristics. Consistent with previous reviews, while there was considerable variation, on average Social Stories appear to have only a small clinical effect on behaviour. Implications for the selection of interventions strategies by practitioners are discussed.

Social Story™ Efficacy With a Child With Autism Spectrum Disorder and Moderate Intellectual Disability / Georgina REYNHOUT in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 22-3 (Fall 2007)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 22-3 (Fall 2007) . - p.173-182 Titre : Social Story™ Efficacy With a Child With Autism Spectrum Disorder and Moderate Intellectual Disability Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Georgina REYNHOUT, Auteur ; Mark CARTER, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.173-182 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Social Stories™ have gained wide acceptance as an intervention for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), yet extant research provides little empirical evidence in support of their efficacy. This study examines the use of Social Stories to target repetitive tapping behavior displayed by a child with ASD, moderate intellectual disability, and associated language impairment. Over an extended period there was evidence of a decrease in the target behavior. Further, this decrease was associated with increased comprehension of the Social Story. The findings suggest that it is appropriate to consider language skills when evaluating the suitability of this intervention for students with moderate intellectual disabilities and to monitor comprehension.

The use of Social Stories by teachers and their perceived efficacy / Georgina REYNHOUT in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 3-1 (January 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 3-1 (January 2009) . - p.232-251 Titre : The use of Social Stories by teachers and their perceived efficacy Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Georgina REYNHOUT, Auteur ; Mark CARTER, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.232-251 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Social-Stories Autism-spectrum-disorders Behavioral-interventions Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Teachers working with children with autism spectrum disorders were surveyed to determine the characteristics of children with whom Social Stories are used, how extensively they are employed and the types of behaviors targeted by teachers; how and why teachers use Social Stories (including the extent to which Social Stories conform to recommended construction); teacher's perceived acceptability, applicability and efficacy of Social Stories and how perceived efficacy varies across student characteristics, story construction and implementation. Social Stories were widely used to target a diversity of behaviors, with children of different ages who demonstrated varying degrees of autism, a range of cognitive ability and varying expressive and receptive language skills. The teachers surveyed use Social Stories as an intervention because they find them easy to construct and implement, and believe them to be effective, although there are perceived issues with maintenance and generalization. Cognitive ability and expressive language skills appeared to affect the perceived efficacy of the intervention; receptive language skills and level of autism did not. Sample Social Stories provided by teachers often deviated from the recommended guidelines. Social Stories that deviated from recommended construction were rated more efficacious than those that did not. Several directions for future research are discussed.
