This study utilized a combination of behavioral and survey measures to examine sex/gender differences in 32 autistic adolescents (10 females, 22 males) before and after participation in the 20-week START socialization program. At intake, males self-reported superior social skills use while parents endorsed that females demonstrated superior social competencies. While males and females both experienced socialization improvements post-trial, females experienced greater increases in self-reported social competency and the proportion of questions they asked during peer conversations. These preliminary findings on differential intervention response may help inform future social skill intervention efforts for the needs of females on the spectrum.

Social responsiveness and language use associated with an enhanced PRT approach for young children with ASD: Results from a pilot RCT of the PRISM model / Amy C. BARRETT in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 71 (March 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 71 (March 2020) . - p.101497 Titre : Social responsiveness and language use associated with an enhanced PRT approach for young children with ASD: Results from a pilot RCT of the PRISM model Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Amy C. BARRETT, Auteur ; Ty W. VERNON, Auteur ; Elizabeth S. MCGARRY, Auteur ; Anahita N. HOLDEN, Auteur ; Jessica BRADSHAW, Auteur ; Jordan A. KO, Auteur ; Erin J. HOROWITZ, Auteur ; Tamsin C. GERMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101497 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Early intervention  Parent-mediated intervention  Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT)  Pivotal Response Intervention for Social Motivation (PRISM)  Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Vulnerabilities in social motivation among children with ASD constrain attention and responsiveness to parents and other social partners. When this limited social responsiveness remains uncorrected, it is hypothesized to restrict the quality and quantity of social learning opportunities and ultimately yield negative long-term effects on development. Early intervention efforts that target social motivation may hold promise for correcting this detrimental chain of events. Method The current pilot RCT examined changes in participant social responsiveness and language use in a trial of 21 young children with ASD who were randomly assigned to treatment or waitlist control groups. Treatment participants received a mean of 6.81 h/week of an enhanced Pivotal Response Intervention for Social Motivation (PRISM) treatment model for six months. Data on social responsiveness to parent bids and expressive language (number of total words, number of different words, mean length of utterance in words) were obtained from behaviorally coding and analyzing video-recorded parent-child play sessions. Results Results indicated that young children who participated in the PRISM treatment model demonstrated significant pre-post improvements in social responsiveness and mean length of utterances. Participants in the waitlist condition experienced negligible improvements. Participants who are minimally verbal appear to experience greater gains as a result of the PRISM model. Additionally, initial levels of social responsiveness with parents appear to be predictive of subsequent language use at post-intervention among minimally verbal participants. Conclusion This study provides preliminary evidence for the importance of using early intervention paradigms that explicitly target social motivation and responsiveness in young children with ASD. Results also suggest that initial social responsiveness to parents may serve as an important predictor of treatment response.

Social Tools And Rules for Teens (The START Program): Program Description and Preliminary Outcomes of an Experiential Socialization Intervention for Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Ty W. VERNON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-5 (May 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 46-5 (May 2016) . - p.1806-1823 Titre : Social Tools And Rules for Teens (The START Program): Program Description and Preliminary Outcomes of an Experiential Socialization Intervention for Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ty W. VERNON, Auteur ; Amber R. MILLER, Auteur ; Jordan A. KO, Auteur ; Victoria L. WU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1806-1823 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescents  Autism spectrum disorders  Experiential learning  Social skills training  Social competence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Experiential learning is an essential process in the development of core social competencies. Unfortunately, adolescents with autism spectrum disorders often do not possess the prerequisite skillset and motivation to sustain the level of social immersion needed to benefit from this learning process. These persisting social vulnerabilities can limit their long-term relational success and associated quality of life, creating a need for comprehensive social programming. This paper describes a multi-component socialization intervention that simultaneously targets motivational, conceptual, and skill deficits using a hybrid experiential/didactic treatment approach. Evidence of social competence improvements was noted in survey and live conversational measures, indicating that the START program may hold promise as a method for improving the social success of participating adolescents with ASD.
