Assessing Interdisciplinary Trainees' Objective and Self-Reported Knowledge of Autism Spectrum Disorder and Confidence in Providing Services / Leciel K. BONO in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-1 (January 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 52-1 (January 2022) . - p.376-391 Titre : Assessing Interdisciplinary Trainees' Objective and Self-Reported Knowledge of Autism Spectrum Disorder and Confidence in Providing Services Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Leciel K.

Clinicians from multiple professions need adequate knowledge of ASD to make appropriate referrals to specialists, conduct thorough evaluations, and provide effective interventions. ASD knowledge development for many professionals may start at the pre-service training level. An interdisciplinary sample consisting of trainees from Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) programs and University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDDs) across the country (N = 155) was evaluated on their objectively measured ASD knowledge using the ASKSP-R. Self-reported knowledge of ASD and self-reported confidence in providing services to individuals who have ASD was evaluated using a 0-100 scale. Results from an ANOVA demonstrated a significant difference in objectively measured knowledge across disciplines, F(7, 146) = 4.68, p < .001. Specifically, trainees in psychology had significantly higher levels of objectively measured ASD knowledge than trainees in physical/occupational therapy, social work, and non-clinical disciplines. Pre-service and professional development experiences predicted trainees' objectively measured ASD knowledge, self-reported ASD knowledge, and self-reported confidence. Implications and recommendations regarding interdisciplinary training to improve outcomes for individuals with ASD are discussed.

Because difficulties in SC/Iis a core criterion for identifying autism and is a frequent construct of interestin autism research, a measure designed to capture cross-cultural differences in theperspectives of SC/I skills is warranted. To address this need we developed andvalidated the Social Communication and Interaction Perceptions Scale (SCIPS), acaregiver report measure for children ages 6-18 years, that measuresboth frequency and perceived importance of various SC/I skills. Results from 401diverse caregiver participants showed that for both domains (i.e., Frequency andImportance) the SCIPS has good reliability (? = 0.88-0.95) and two factors thatexamine basic and advanced aspects of SC/I skills. Findings support the use of theSCIPS as a measure of caregiver perspectives of SC/I skills in clinical and researchcontexts.

Cultural differences in social communication and interaction: A gap in autism research / Megan E. GOLSON in Autism Research, 15-2 (February 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 15-2 (February 2022) . - p.208-214 Titre : Cultural differences in social communication and interaction: A gap in autism research Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Megan E. GOLSON, Auteur ; Erica FICKLIN, Auteur ; Cassity R. HAVERKAMP, Auteur ; Maryellen Brunson MCCLAIN, Auteur ; Bryn HARRIS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.208-214 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : culture  race and ethnicity  social communication Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Social communication and interaction deficits are a diagnostic criteria of autism and integral to practitioner and researcher conceptualization. Culture is an influential factor in expectations for, and demonstration of, social communication and interaction skills, but there is limited research published in autism journals on this topic. This paucity of autism research examining cultural factors related to social communication and interaction may contribute to known identification disparities for racial and ethnic populations minoritized by systemic factors and research bias. We call for increased commitment from researchers to recruit racially and ethnically minoritized participants, prioritize investigating cultural expectations and perceptions of social communication and interaction, and evaluate measures related to social communication for cultural and linguistic responsivity. LAY SUMMARY: A diagnosis of autism requires the presence of deficits in social communication and interaction. Examples of these behaviors and skills include holding a back-and-forth conversation, the use of nonverbal communicative behaviors (e.g., gestures), and developing and maintaining social relationships. Culture influences the expectations for, and presentation of, these behaviors. However, research on this topic is lacking. Conducting more research related to culture and social communication could help reduce the disparities in autism identification across racially and ethnically minoritized populations.

Re-Evaluating the Appropriateness of the “Don’t Know” Response Option: Guessing Rate as a Source of Systematic Error on Autism Knowledge Assessments / Camilla M. MCMAHON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-11 (November 2025)

HAVERKAMP, Auteur ; Bryn HARRIS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4045-4056 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Several autism knowledge assessments include “don’t know” as a response option. The inclusion of this response option may lead to systematic error, such that participants’ guessing rate affects the measurement of their autism knowledge. This study examines both predictors of guessing rate for autism knowledge and predictors of autism knowledge, including guessing rate. School-based professionals (n = 396) completed the Autism Spectrum Knowledge Scale Professional Version-Revised (ASKSP-R; McClain et al, Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders 50(3):998–1006, 2020). and the Autism Stigma and Knowledge Questionnaire (ASK-Q; Harrison et al, Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders 47(10):3281–3295, 2017). Both assessments include “don’t know” as a response option. Guessing rate was the strongest predictor of autism knowledge across both the ASKSP-R and the ASK-Q assessments. For the ASKSP-R, participants who were school psychologists, practicing for more years, had more autism-related clinical experiences, and who personally knew an autistic person had a higher guessing rate. School psychologists and participants who worked with more autistic students scored higher in autism knowledge. For the ASK-Q, participants with greater self-perceived autism knowledge had a higher guessing rate. Participants with a doctorate degree, who personally knew an autistic person, and who worked with more autistic students scored higher in autism knowledge. Guessing rate can be a source of systematic error on autism knowledge assessments. Potential solutions to correct for guessing rate are examined and recommended for future use.

School-Clinic Care Coordination for Youth with ASD: A National Survey of School Psychologists / Maryellen Brunson MCCLAIN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-9 (September 2020)

Communication and collaboration between the school and clinic settings is particularly important when youth with ASD are receiving both special education and clinic-based services. The responsibility of initiating coordinated care has historically been with the medical home (e.g., primary care clinicians), however, educational professionals (e.g., school psychologists) are also well positioned to assume a leadership role in care coordination. Little is known about the current state, feasibility, or effectiveness of school psychologists leading care coordination efforts. The current study utilizes a mixed-method approach to understand school psychologists' engagement in interdisciplinary collaboration across settings, a central tenet to coordinated care, in providing services to youth with ASD.
