Pilot study of a parent training program for young children with autism: The PLAY Project Home Consultation program / Richard SOLOMON in Autism, 11-3 (May 2007)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 11-3 (May 2007) . - p.205-224 Titre : Pilot study of a parent training program for young children with autism: The PLAY Project Home Consultation program Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Richard SOLOMON, Auteur ; Jonathan NECHELES, Auteur ; Courtney FERCH, Auteur ; David BRUCKMAN, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.205-224 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism DIR-model Intervention Parent Training Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The PLAY Project Home Consultation (PPHC) program trains parents of children with autistic spectrum disorders using the DIR/Floortime model of Stanley Greenspan MD. Sixty-eight children completed the 8—12 month program. Parents were encouraged to deliver 15 hours per week of 1:1 interaction. Pre/post ratings of videotapes by blind raters using the Functional Emotional Assessment Scale (FEAS) showed significant increases (p 0.0001) in child subscale scores. Translated clinically, 45.5 percent of children made good to very good functional developmental progress. There were no significant differences between parents in the FEAS subscale scores at either pre-or post-intervention and all parents scored at levels suggesting they would be effective in working with their children. Overall satisfaction with PPHC was 90 percent. Average cost of intervention was $2500/ year. Despite important limitations, this pilot study of The PLAY Project Home Consulting model suggests that the model has potential to be a cost-effective intervention for young children with autism.

Nature of motor imitation problems in school-aged boys with autism / Marleen VANVUCHELEN in Autism, 11-3 (May 2007)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 11-3 (May 2007) . - p.225-240 Titre : Nature of motor imitation problems in school-aged boys with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Marleen VANVUCHELEN, Auteur ; Herbert ROEYERS, Auteur ; Willy DE WEERDT, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.225-240 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Assessment Autism-spectrum-disorder Autistic-disorder Dyspraxia Gesture Imitation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This case-control study explores the underlying mechanisms of imitation problems in boys with autism by manipulating imitation task variables and by correlating imitation performance with competence on general motor tests (Movement Assessment Battery for Children and Peabody Developmental Motor Scales). Fifty-five boys participated in this study: eight low-functioning with autism (LFA), 13 with mental retardation (MR), 17 high-functioning with autism (HFA) and 17 typically developing (TD). LFA performed significantly worse than MR on the motor test and on all imitation tasks. HFA performed significantly worse than TD on the motor test, but not on imitation tasks, with the exception of non-meaningful gestures. This study supports the notion that mainly perceptual-motor impairment, and not a cognitive weakness of symbolic representation, causes imitation problems in autism. In addition, in boys with autism, general motor as well as imitation abilities were impaired. We suggest that imitation ability has to be assessed in conjunction with motor competence.

Evidence against poor semantic encoding in individuals with autism / Andrew J. O. WHITEHOUSE in Autism, 11-3 (May 2007)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 11-3 (May 2007) . - p.241-254 Titre : Evidence against poor semantic encoding in individuals with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Andrew J. O. WHITEHOUSE, Auteur ; Murray T. MAYBERY, Auteur ; Kevin DURKIN, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.241-254 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Memory Phonological-encoding Semantic-encoding Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This article tests the hypothesis that individuals with autism poorly encode verbal information to the semantic level of processing, instead paying greater attention to phonological attributes. Participants undertook a novel explicit verbal recall task. Twenty children with autism were compared with 20 matched typically developing children. On each trial, 20 words were presented individually on a computer screen. Half of the items were related through having either a common semantic theme, or a common phonological feature. Following a filler task, the participants were presented with a cue and asked to recall items consistent with the cue. No differences between the autism and comparison groups were found in either the semantic or the phonological condition. A follow-up comparison revealed that the participants with autism showed comparable levels of recall to an additional group of children matched in chronological age. The findings do not support the idea of a developmental delay in semantic encoding in children with autism.

Face processing in children with autism: Effects of stimulus contents and type / Leslie L. SPEER in Autism, 11-3 (May 2007)

MCMAHON, Auteur ; Elaine CLARK, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.265-277 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Eye-tracking Face-processing Social-responsiveness Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Recent eye tracking studies of face processing have produced differing accounts of how and whether children with autism differ from their typically developing peers. The two groups' gaze patterns appear to differ for dynamic videos of social scenes, but not for static photos of isolated individuals. The present study replicated and extended previous research by comparing the gaze patterns of individuals with and without autism for four types of stimuli: social dynamic, social static, isolated dynamic, and isolated static. Participants with autism differed from their typically developing peers only for social-dynamic stimuli; fixation durations were decreased for eye regions and increased for body regions. Further, these fixation durations predicted scores on a measure of social responsiveness. These findings reconcile differences in previous reports by identifying the specific social and dynamic task components associated with autism-related face processing impairments.

Lack of evidence for increased genetic loading for autism among families of affected females: A replication from family history data in two large samples / Robin P. GOIN-KOCHEL in Autism, 11-3 (May 2007)

Additionally, autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) present four times more often in males than in females, for reasons that are currently unknown. In this study, we examined whether there were differences in familial loading of ASD among families of male versus female probands. Analyses were conducted with existing data from two distinct samples. The first sample contained 417 individuals with autism and Asperger's disorder and included information on the ASD diagnoses of their first- and second-degree relatives. The second sample consisted of 405 sibships participating in the Autism Genetic Resource Exchange, of which one or more siblings had an ASD diagnosis. Results from both samples did not suggest significant differences in the prevalence of ASD among relatives of affected males versus females.
