Titre : Brief Report: Reduced Restricted and Repetitive Behaviors after Pivotal Response Treatment Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Pamela VENTOLA, Auteur ; Daniel YANG, Auteur ; Sebiha M. ABDULLAHI, Auteur ; Courtney A. PAISLEY, Auteur ; Megan L. BRACONNIER, Auteur ; Denis G. SUKHODOLSKY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2813-2820 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Restricted and repetitive behaviors Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) Behavior therapy Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised (RBS-R) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with ASD show high frequency of restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs); however, higher-order RRBs, such as restricted interests, have remained largely resistant to treatment. This study evaluated change in severity of RRBs following a 16-weeks open trial of Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT). Participants included 15 children with ASD ages 4–7 years. RRBs, as measured by the repetitive behavioral scales-revised (RBS-R) and aberrant behaviors checklist, decreased significantly after treatment. These reductions remained significant after controlling for change in social communication skills. PRT shows promise in reducing RRBs; although PRT explicitly addresses pivotal social communication skills, there is a secondary and less direct effect on RRBs.

Titre : Reduced anxiety following pivotal response treatment in young children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jiedi LEI, Auteur ; Denis G. SUKHODOLSKY, Auteur ; Sebiha M. ABDULLAHI, Auteur ; Megan L. BRACONNIER, Auteur ; Pamela VENTOLA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Pivotal response treatment (PRT) Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) Anxiety Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Up to 40% of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) exhibit co-occurring anxiety symptoms. Despite recent success in mitigating anxiety symptoms in school-aged children with ASD (mean age >9 years) using adapted versions of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, little is known about potential treatment outcomes for younger children. To address the gap in the literature, this open-label study evaluated change in anxiety following a 16-week open-label trial of Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) in children with ASD aged 4–8 years. PRT is a behavioural treatment based on the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis and has a primary aim of increasing social communication skills in children with ASD through natural reinforcements. To minimise conflation of anxiety and other co-occurring symptoms such as disruptive behaviour and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, we measured anxiety using the autism anxiety subscale of the Child and Adolescent Symptom Inventory (CASI) devised by Sukhodolsky et al. (2008). We observed significant anxiety reduction over 16-weeks of PRT. Furthermore, anxiety reduction was independent of changes in autism symptom severity. This study shows promising results for PRT as an intervention for reducing anxiety in young children with ASD.

Titre : Sibling Relationships: Parent-Child Agreement and Contributions of Siblings With and Without ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Megan L. BRACONNIER, Auteur ; M. C. COFFMAN, Auteur ; N. KELSO, Auteur ; J. M. WOLF, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1612-1622 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder Parent-child agreement Sibling relationships Siblings Stakeholders Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research on the experiences of siblings of individuals with ASD and the quality of their sibling relationships has yielded mixed results. The present study examined the significance of parent- versus child-report of both positive and negative behaviors exhibited by siblings and their brothers and sisters with ASD within sibling dyads. Findings indicated that siblings were more positive in their assessment of the sibling relationship than were their parents. Siblings exhibited more positive behaviors within the sibling relationship than did their brothers and sisters with ASD, and were recipients of aggression. These findings are consistent with prior research suggesting that siblings tend to take on a caretaking role, and point to important targets for intervention.
