Data sets from two samples of public school programs that provided services to children and youth with autism spectrum disorder were utilized. Cronbach alpha analyses indicated high coefficients of internal consistency for the total APERS and moderate levels for item domains for the first data set, which was replicated with the second data set. A factor analysis of the first data set indicated that all domain scores loaded on one main factor, in alignment with the conceptual model, with this finding being replicated in the second data set. Also, the APERS was sensitive to changes resulting from a professional development program designed to promote program quality.

Developmental profiles of infants with an FMR1 premutation / Anne C. WHEELER in Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 8-1 (December 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders > 8-1 (December 2016) . - p.40 Titre : Developmental profiles of infants with an FMR1 premutation Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anne C. WHEELER, Auteur ; J. SIDERIS, Auteur ; Randi J. HAGERMAN, Auteur ; Elizabeth BERRY-KRAVIS, Auteur ; F. TASSONE, Auteur ; Donald B. Jr BAILEY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.40 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Early development  FMR1 premutation  Newborn screening Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests that a subset of FMR1 premutation carriers is at an increased risk for cognitive, emotional, and medical conditions. However, because the premutation is rarely diagnosed at birth, the early developmental trajectories of children with a premutation are not known. METHODS: This exploratory study examined the cognitive, communication, and social-behavioral profiles of 26 infants with a premutation who were identified through participation in a newborn screening for fragile X syndrome pilot study. In this study, families whose newborn screened positive for an FMR1 premutation were invited to participate in a longitudinal study of early development. Twenty-six infants with the premutation and 21 matched, screen-negative comparison babies were assessed using validated standardized measures at 6-month intervals starting as young as 3 months of age. The babies were assessed up to seven times over a 4-year period. RESULTS: The premutation group was not statistically different from the comparison group on measures of cognitive development, adaptive behavior, temperament, or overall communication. However, the babies with the premutation had a significantly different developmental trajectory on measures of nonverbal communication and hyperresponsivity to sensory experiences. They also were significantly more hyporesponsive at all ages than the comparison group. Cytosine-guanine-guanine repeat length was linearly associated with overall cognitive development. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that infants with a premutation may present with subtle developmental differences as young as 12 months of age that may be early markers of later anxiety, social deficits, or other challenges thought to be experienced by a subset of carriers.

Efficacy of the ASAP Intervention for Preschoolers with ASD: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial / Brian A. BOYD in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-9 (September 2018)

In this 4-year, multi-site efficacy trial, classrooms were randomly assigned to ASAP or a business-as-usual control condition. A total of 78 classrooms, including 161 children, enrolled in this study. No significant group differences were found for the primary outcomes of children's social-communication and play. However, children in the ASAP group showed increased classroom engagement. Additionally, participation in ASAP seemed to have a protective effect for one indicator of teacher burnout. Implications for future research are discussed.

Longitudinal assessment of stability of sensory features in children with autism spectrum disorder or other developmental disabilities / Grace T. BARANEK in Autism Research, 12-1 (January 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 12-1 (January 2019) . - p.100-111 Titre : Longitudinal assessment of stability of sensory features in children with autism spectrum disorder or other developmental disabilities Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Grace T. BARANEK, Auteur ; M. CARLSON, Auteur ; J. SIDERIS, Auteur ; A. V. KIRBY, Auteur ; Linda R. WATSON, Auteur ; Kathryn L. WILLIAMS, Auteur ; J. BULLUCK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.100-111 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  developmental changes  longitudinal data analysis  sensory processing  stability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Prior research on the stability of sensory processing problems in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or other developmental disabilities (DD) has produced inconsistent results. We employed a longitudinal study design to assess the stability of three clinical sensory response patterns: hyporesponsiveness; hyperresponsiveness; and sensory interests, repetitions, and seeking behaviors (SIRS). Parents of children with ASD (n = 55) or DD (n = 35) responded to sensory questionnaires at two time points (T1 and T2) separated by 3.3 years on average, with the children aged 2-12 years (M = 5.69 +/- 2.46) at the first assessment. For each sensory response pattern, regression analysis revealed that, for both ASD and DD groups, scores at T1 were strong predictors of scores at T2. Over the longitudinal assessment interval, there was a significant mean decline in severity for SIRS in both groups and for hyporesponsiveness in the ASD group. Parental estimates of the amount of therapy services received were positively associated with the severity of sensory features at T2, an outcome that may result from increased intervention dosages being administered to children who fail to improve over time. The results are discussed in terms of person-centered and environmental considerations, which, in combination, have the capacity to affect stability outcomes for sensory features. Autism Research 2019, 12: 100-111. (c) 2018 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities (DD) may process sensory information differently from those who do not have ASD. For example, some children may be over-responsive or under-responsive to sound or touch. In this study, we showed that sensory features in preschool/school-aged children with ASD and DD tend to decrease on average over a several year period. However, individual children tend to retain their ranking (low or high in sensory features) in comparison to other children over time.

Neural mechanisms of negative reinforcement in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders / Cara R. DAMIANO in Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 7-1 (December 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders > 7-1 (December 2015) . - p.12 Titre : Neural mechanisms of negative reinforcement in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Cara R.

DICHTER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.12 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders (ASD)  Negative reinforcement  Reward loss  Reward motivation  Reward processing  Social motivation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Previous research has found accumulating evidence for atypical reward processing in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), particularly in the context of social rewards. Yet, this line of research has focused largely on positive social reinforcement, while little is known about the processing of negative reinforcement in individuals with ASD. METHODS: The present study examined neural responses to social negative reinforcement (a face displaying negative affect) and non-social negative reinforcement (monetary loss) in children with ASD relative to typically developing children, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). RESULTS: We found that children with ASD demonstrated hypoactivation of the right caudate nucleus while anticipating non-social negative reinforcement and hypoactivation of a network of frontostriatal regions (including the nucleus accumbens, caudate nucleus, and putamen) while anticipating social negative reinforcement. In addition, activation of the right caudate nucleus during non-social negative reinforcement was associated with individual differences in social motivation. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that atypical responding to negative reinforcement in children with ASD may contribute to social motivational deficits in this population.
