Assessment of feeding problems in children with autism spectrum disorder / Courtney A. APONTE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 21 (January 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 21 (January 2016) . - p.61-72 Titre : Assessment of feeding problems in children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Courtney A. APONTE, Auteur ; Raymond G. ROMANCZYK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.61-72 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Assessment  Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)  Feeding Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is growing, but inconsistent, literature on feeding problems for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The purposes of this study were to (a) investigate the relation of feeding problems to autism severity, (b) assess the validity of parent-report questionnaires widely used to assess feeding problems in terms of their relation to systematic behavior observations, and (c) determine the relation between child feeding behavior and family mealtime environment. Thirty-eight children and their parents participated in the study. Parents completed questionnaires, and both parents and children participated in mealtime observations. Results indicated that autism severity predicted scores on a measure of feeding problems as well as the duration of negative vocalizations during meal observations. Food Frequency Questionnaires better predicted behavior during meals than the Brief Mealtime Autism Behavior Inventory. Family environment alone did not explain feeding difficulties.

Broken bridges-new school transitions for students with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review on difficulties and strategies for success / H. J. NUSKE in Autism, 23-2 (February 2019)

Few studies have examined the transition needs of students with autism spectrum disorder or the benefits of specific supports. This review synthesizes research findings on the difficulties that school transitions pose for students with autism spectrum disorder and their parents and teachers, and the strategies used to support students and parents during school transition. The review included 27 studies (10 examining the transition to primary school, 17 the transition to secondary school), with data from 443 students with autism spectrum disorder, 453 parents, and 546 teachers, across four continents (North America, Europe, Africa, and Australia). Studies reported that children with autism spectrum disorder struggled with anxiety and increased social pressure, their parents felt overwhelmed with complex placement decisions and worried about the well-being of their children, and teachers strove to provide appropriate supports to their students with autism spectrum disorder, often with inadequate resources. Findings indicated that the most useful strategies involved helping the student adjust to the new school setting, individualizing transition supports, clarifying the transition process for parents, and fostering communication both between the sending and receiving schools, and school and home.

A pilot investigation of an iOS-based app for toilet training children with autism spectrum disorder / D. W. MRUZEK in Autism, 23-2 (February 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 23-2 (February 2019) . - p.359-370 Titre : A pilot investigation of an iOS-based app for toilet training children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : D.

ZANIBBI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.359-370 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  enuresis  randomized controlled trial  technology  toilet training  urine alarm Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We developed an iOS-based app with a transmitter/disposable sensor and corresponding manualized intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder. The app signaled the onset of urination, time-stamped accidents for analysis, reminded parents to reinforce intervals of continence, provided a visual outlet for parents to communicate reinforcement, and afforded opportunity for timely feedback from clinicians. We compared this intervention with an intervention that uses standard behavioral treatment in a pilot randomized controlled trial of 33 children with autism spectrum disorder aged 3-6 years with urinary incontinence. Parents in both groups received initial training and four booster consultations over 3 months. Results support the feasibility of parent-mediated toilet training studies (e.g., 84% retention rate, 92% fidelity of parent-implemented intervention). Parents used the app and related technology with few difficulties or malfunctions. There were no statistically significant group differences for rate of urine accidents, toilet usage, or satisfaction at close of intervention or 3-month follow-up; however, the alarm group trended toward greater rate of skill acquisition with significantly less day-to-day intervention. Further development of alarm and related technology and future comparative studies with a greater number of participants are warranted.
