Behavioral skills training, consisting of group instruction and supervisory feedback, was used to improve staff performance on (a) providing positive reinforcement, (b) providing error correction, and (c) initiating opportunities for students to show the target response (i.e. asking for help). Also changes in students’ target response and generalization of staff performance were evaluated. Data were collected in a multiple baseline design across three staff skills. There were improvements in all staff skills and changes in ‘error correction’ as a result of intervention were statistically significant. Improvements in staff skills were maintained over time. Effects of intervention on students’ target responses and generalization of staff performance, however, were limited. Staff evaluated the intervention as effective and acceptable. Implications of the findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Improving Collaborative Play Between Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Their Siblings: The Effectiveness of a Robot-Mediated Intervention Based on Lego® Therapy / Bibi HUSKENS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-11 (November 2015)

A concurrent multiple baseline design across three child–sibling pairs was in effect. The robot-intervention resulted in no statistically significant changes in collaborative behaviors of the children with ASD. Despite limited effectiveness of the intervention, this study provides several practical implications and directions for future research.

Improving question asking in high-functioning adolescents with autism spectrum disorders / Annemiek PALMEN in Autism, 12-1 (January 2008)

Training was implemented in a therapy room and lasted 6 weeks. Sessions were conducted once a week and lasted about an hour. Experimenters collected data during tutorial conversations in a natural setting. Training of question-asking skills consisted of verbal feedback and role-play during short simulated conversations and a table game. A self-management strategy and common stimuli (e.g., flowchart) were included to promote generalization. Mean percentage of correct questions during tutorial conversations improved significantly after training. Response efficiency also increased. Participants and personal coaches evaluated the training as effective and acceptable.

A systematic review of behavioral intervention research on adaptive skill building in high-functioning young adults with autism spectrum disorder / Annemiek PALMEN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)

LANG, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.602-617 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  High-functioning adolescents and adults  Adaptive skills  Behavioral interventions Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This review involved a systematic search and analysis of behavioral intervention studies aimed at improving adaptive skills in high-functioning young adults with autism spectrum disorders. Through electronic databases and hand searching, 20 studies were identified meeting pre-determined inclusion criteria. Studies were summarized and analysed in terms of (a) participants, (b) adaptive skill(s) targeted for intervention, (c) intervention procedures, and (d) intervention outcomes. Certainty of evidence was assessed through critical appraisal of each study's design and other methodological characteristics. Social interaction skills were the most common intervention targets (n = 8), followed by practical academic skills (n = 6), vocational skills (n = 5), and domestic skills (n = 1). Improvements in adaptive skills were reported by 19 studies. Interventions consisting of low or high tech assisted procedures (e.g., video modeling, visual cues, self-recording and self-reinforcement, self-prompting), reinforcement contingencies, and corrective feedback using prompts were found to be most promising. Five studies were identified as having the methodological rigor to provide conclusive results. Insufficient control for alternative explanations for behavior outcomes and reliance on pre- or quasi-experimental designs hindered the certainty of evidence for the remaining studies. Implications for clinical practice and future research are discussed.

Task engagement in young adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders: Generalization effects of behavioral skills training / Annemiek PALMEN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-4 (October-December 2012)

Experimental sessions were implemented in a small-group training format in a therapy room using unknown tasks. Data were collected on participant's off-task behavior and questions for help as well as on staff's behavior in the regular setting during regular job tasks (i.e., generalization). Intervention consisted of discrimination training, self-management strategies, behavioral practice, corrective feedback, and reinforcement. Following intervention, a significant decrease was found in percentage off-task behavior in the regular setting while performing regular job tasks. No changes were found in questions for help by participants or in behavior of staff. Effects were maintained at 6-week follow-up and at 6-month follow-up outcomes were still beneath baseline levels. Findings are discussed in relation to future research.
