METHODS: We examined behavioral responses (affect and gaze) during emotionally salient tasks designed to elicit mildly positive and negative emotional states in infants. At 12 and 18 months, infants at an increased likelihood for an ASD diagnosis (IL; have an older sibling with ASD; n = 60) and low likelihood (LL; no family history of ASD; n = 21) completed the Emotion-Evoking (EE) Task and parents completed the Infant Behavior Questionnaire-Revised (IBQ-R). All children received an Autism Diagnostic Observation Scale-second Edition assessment for ASD symptomatology at 24 months. RESULTS: The main findings were (1) the IL group displayed higher rates of negative affect and spent less time looking at the task objects compared to the LL group, and (2) affect and gaze scores at 12 and 18 months, but not scores on the IBQ-R, predicted ASD symptoms at 24 months. LIMITATIONS: The data were drawn from an IL sample and may not be generalizable to the general ASD population, and the children were not followed to determine a diagnosis of ASD. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that behavioral responses can provide important information that complements parent reports of emotional regulation in IL infants as early as 12 months of age.

The results indicated that at 18 and 24 months, total score differentiated between HR toddlers subsequently diagnosed with ASD from other HR and LR toddlers. The sensitivity at both time points was acceptable; however, the specificity was below the level recommended for clinical application.

Developmental trajectories of adaptive behavior in autism spectrum disorder: a high-risk sibling cohort / Lori-Ann R. SACREY in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 60-6 (June 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 60-6 (June 2019) . - p.697-706 Titre : Developmental trajectories of adaptive behavior in autism spectrum disorder: a high-risk sibling cohort Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lori-Ann R.

METHODS: Developmental trajectories of adaptive behavior in ASD were examined in children from high-risk (siblings of children diagnosed with ASD, n = 403) and low-risk (no family history of ASD, n = 163) families. Children were assessed prospectively at 12, 18, 24, and 36 months of age using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales and underwent a blind independent diagnostic assessment for ASD at 36 months of age. RESULTS: The semi-parametric group-based modeling approach using standard scores on the Adaptive Behavior Composite revealed three distinct developmental trajectories: (a) Group 1 (21.2% of sample) showed average performance at 12 months and a declining trajectory; (b) Group 2 (52.8% of the sample) showed average performance at 12 months with a slightly declining trajectory; and (c) Group 3 (26.0% of the sample) showed a higher level of adaptive behavior at 12 months and a stable trajectory. The Mullen Scales of Early Learning Early Learning Composite and the Autism Observation Scale for Infants total score at 6 and 12 months predicted trajectory membership. CONCLUSIONS: The results emphasize heterogeneous development associated with ASD and the need for interventions tailored to individual presentations.

Expanding Training Capacity for the Group-Based Social ABCs Program: Evaluation of Coaching Models and French-Language Implementation in a Pediatric Hospital / Renee BAYSAROWICH in Autism, 30-6 (June 2026)

Caregiver-mediated interventions, such as the Social ABCs, improve early social communication and caregiver empowerment. To enhance accessibility, Social ABCs was adapted into a condensed, group-based model. This study evaluated its implementation and sustainability at a large pediatric hospital, examining child and caregiver outcomes across multiple coach training pathways and French-language delivery. A retrospective chart review included 361 families (children 12–42 months with suspected or confirmed autism) who completed six weekly group sessions and nine individual caregiver coaching sessions between 2020 and 2024. Coaches were trained via expert-led, hybrid, or site-led pathways. Caregiver implementation fidelity improved from 33.6% to 70.0% (p < 0.001), with similar gains in English and French. Child vocal responsivity increased from 5.7% to 43.2% (p < 0.001), and post-intervention caregiver fidelity correlated with child responsivity (r = 0.25, p < 0.001). Fidelity and responsivity outcomes did not differ by training pathway, supporting site-led training. Multiple pathways expanded clinician capacity, increasing children served by ~86% within 2 years. These findings suggest that group-based Social ABCs may improve caregiver and child outcomes, increase service capacity, and enhance accessibility for French‑speaking families, supporting feasibility of multi‑pathway training models for scaling early autism interventions.Lay Abstract Autism is being identified in more young children in Canada, increasing the need for early supports that families can access in a timely way. The Social ABCs is a caregiver-mediated program that helps caregivers support their child’s early social communication, and it was adapted into a shorter, group-based format to improve accessibility. This study reviewed clinical records from 361 families of children aged 12–42 months with suspected or confirmed autism who participated in the group-based Social ABCs program at a large pediatric hospital between 2020 and 2024. Caregivers attended group sessions and individual coaching, and clinicians were trained using different approaches, including expert-led and hospital-based training. Results showed that caregivers became more consistent and confident in using the strategies they learned, and children showed meaningful improvements in social communication. These improvements were similar for English- and French-speaking families and did not differ based on how clinicians were trained. Using multiple training pathways also allowed the program to serve many more families. Overall, the group-based Social ABCs improved outcomes for caregivers and children while increasing service capacity and access to early autism supports.
