Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A recent randomized controlled trial found that children with autism spectrum disorder who received a pivotal response treatment package showed improved language and social communication skills following the intervention. The pivotal response treatment package includes clinician-delivered and parent-implemented strategies. Reciprocal vocal contingency is an automated measure of vocal reciprocity derived from daylong audio samples from the child's natural environment. It may provide stronger and complementary evidence of the effects of the pivotal response treatment package because it is at lower risk for detection bias than parent report and brief parent-child interaction measures. The current study compared reciprocal vocal contingency for 24 children with autism spectrum disorder in the pivotal response treatment package group and 24 children with autism spectrum disorder in the control group. The pivotal response treatment package group received 24?weeks of the pivotal response treatment package intervention. The control group received their usual intervention services during that time. The groups did not differ in reciprocal vocal contingency when the intervention started or after 12?weeks of intervention. However, after 24?weeks the pivotal response treatment package group had higher ranked reciprocal vocal contingency scores than the control group. These findings are consistent with results from parent report and parent-child interaction measures obtained during the trial. The participants in the pivotal response treatment package exhibited greater vocal responsiveness to adult vocal responses to their vocalizations than the control group. Findings support the effectiveness of the pivotal response treatment package on vocal reciprocity of children with autism spectrum disorder, which may be a pivotal skill for language development.

A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of Motivation-Based Social Skills Group Treatment with Parent Training / Jane SHKEL in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-4 (April 2024)

The goal of the present study was to conduct a randomized controlled trial of a 12-week social intervention (SUCCESS), which combined an inclusive social group with a parent education program. Twenty-five 4- to 6-year-olds with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) were randomized to SUCCESS (N = 11) or to treatment as usual (N = 14). Combining a peer group model with a parent training program, the SUCCESS intervention used naturalistic behavioral techniques (e.g., environmental arrangement, natural reinforcement) to increase social initiations to peers. After 12 weeks, children participating in the SUCCESS program made more frequent initiations to peers than children in the treatment-as-usual group, including more prompted and unprompted initiations to request. Additional gains in clinician-rated social functioning were observed in children randomized to SUCCESS, while differential treatment effects were not detected in parent-rated measures. However, lower baseline social motivation was associated with greater parent-reported initiation improvement. This study provides preliminary support for the efficacy of a naturalistic, behavioral social skills intervention to improve peer initiations for children with ASD. The findings suggest that using a motivation-based social skills group was effective in increasing both prompted and spontaneous initiations to peers, and highlights the need for further research into the role of baseline social motivation in predicting social skills treatment response.

Predictors of self-reported resilience in parents of autistic children / Jessica M. SCHWARTZMAN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 94 (June 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 94 (June 2022) . - 101954 Titre : Predictors of self-reported resilience in parents of autistic children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jessica M. SCHWARTZMAN, Auteur ; Maria Estefania MILLAN, Auteur ; Grace W. GENGOUX, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101954 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Parents  Resilience  Predictors  Stress  Regression Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Though an emerging evidence base has documented the elevated stress and unique challenges among parents of autistic children, less is known about resilience. Based on the resilience-stress model (Fletcher & Sarkar, 2013; Masten, 2011), resilience may be a promising area of investigation given its inverse relationship with stress. Method Fifty parents of autistic children (4:0?10:11 years) self-reported resilience on the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and completed additional questionnaires, which were categorized into three classes of predictors: psychological functioning, child factors and parenting stress, and positive mental health practices. Regression analyses were conducted to identify the amount of variance in CD-RISC scores explained by the overall model and each class of predictors. The relative strength of individual predictors was investigated. Results The overall model accounted for 66% of the variance in self-reported resilience scores. Two classes of predictors were significant ? psychological functioning and positive mental health practices ? while child factors and parenting stress were not. Specifically, the class of psychological functioning variables accounted for 45% of the variance in resilience scores and positive mental health practices accounted for an additional 19%. The individual predictors of anxiety, stress, optimism, and self-compassion were the most robust. Conclusions Findings indicate that certain factors ? anxiety, stress, optimism, and self-compassion ? are important in understanding self-reported resilience among some parents of autistic children. This may suggest treatment targets for resilience interventions. Continued investigations with larger, more representative samples are needed to expand the present findings.
