FLANAGAN, Auteur ; Wendy J. UNGAR, Auteur ; Charlotte WADDELL, Auteur ; Nancy GARON, Auteur ; Jeffrey DENOTTER, Auteur ; Natalie LEGER, Auteur ; Francine VEZINA, Auteur ; Isabel M.

Parental measures are rarely included in EIBI effectiveness studies, yet parental distress and lower self-efficacy are associated with poorer child outcomes. Parents of preschoolers with ASD (N=485) were surveyed at baseline (T1), one-year post-intervention (T2), and school entry (T3) about family distress/crisis, parental self-efficacy, and satisfaction with services in two Canadian provinces. Family distress/crisis decreased and parental self-efficacy increased from T1 to T2. Increases in self-efficacy were largely maintained at T3. Parents were highly satisfied with services. Greater satisfaction for those residing in the province utilizing a parent-coaching model suggests that parent involvement is associated with positive parent outcomes.

Titre : Middle-childhood executive functioning mediates associations between early-childhood autism symptoms and adolescent mental health, academic and functional outcomes in autistic children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Stephanie H.

Here, we examined whether middle-childhood EF mediates associations between early-childhood autism symptoms and adolescent outcomes in children with ASD. METHODS: The Pathways in ASD Cohort comprising children recruited at the time of ASD diagnosis (at 2-4?years-of-age) and followed prospectively across eight subsequent timepoints over ~10?years was used. A subset of Pathways participants (n=250) with Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF)-Parent Form data from at least one timepoint when participants were school-aged was analyzed. A mediation framework was used to examine whether BRIEF-measured EF across age 7-10?years (middle-childhood) mediated associations between early-childhood autism symptoms (measured using the parent-report Social Responsiveness Scale across age 2-6?years) and clinical, academic, and functional outcomes, indexed at age >10-11.8?years (early-adolescence) using the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL)-Internalizing and Externalizing Scales, Academic Performance from the Teacher's Report Form, and Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales. Models were rerun substituting clinician-rated and teacher-rated measures, where possible. RESULTS: Mediation models indicated a significant indirect effect of middle-childhood EF on associations between early-childhood autism symptoms and externalizing behavior, academic performance, or adaptive functioning in early adolescence; kappa squared (?(2) ) effect sizes ranged from large to small. Model findings were stable across raters. Middle-childhood EF did not mediate associations between early-childhood autism symptoms and adolescent internalizing behavior. CONCLUSIONS: Among children with an ASD diagnosis, middle-childhood EF may be one pathway through which early-childhood autism symptoms influence a variety of outcomes in early-adolescence. An experimental study targeting middle-childhood EF to improve adolescent academic, emotional/behavioral, and adaptive functioning is needed to evaluate the clinical meaningfulness of these findings.

UNGAR, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101949 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder Parent coaching Toddlers Service use Cost analysis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Parent coaching interventions for young children suspected of having autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have shown promise. The objectives were to measure the costs of parent coaching and the pre-diagnosis utilization of services and treatments related to autism and to compare costs between families who received parent coaching (PC) and those who received enhanced community treatment (ECT). Methods This analysis was conducted prospectively alongside a randomized comparative effectiveness trial of a PC intervention in British Columbia, Canada. Twenty-four participants were randomly assigned to the PC group and received 24 weeks of coaching support and 25 participants were assigned to the ECT group. Families in both groups also received health, education and community services. Parent-reported service utilization was collected for the 6 months prior to initiation of parent coaching and for the period coinciding with receipt of one of the two interventions. Services were costed from the public payer (i.e., provincial government) and societal perspectives; the latter included out-of-pocket family costs, parental time losses due to caregiving, and public payer costs. Results Families in the PC group used fewer services than did those in the ECT group. The estimated incremental mean cost per family over two time periods for PC compared to ECT was $2515 CAD (95% CI: ? 1302, 5071) from the public payer perspective and $6994 CAD (95% CI: ? 4395, 19,299) from the societal perspective. Conclusions The findings can be used to inform funding and policy decision-making to enhance the treatment options available for young children awaiting an ASD diagnosis.

Little is known about the factors underlying regression or the prognosis of children who exhibit regression. We examine potential predictors of language regression and test its association with language development in a prospective longitudinal sample of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from diagnosis to age 10 years. METHODS: We analysed data from Pathways in ASD, a prospective longitudinal study of 421 children enrolled around the time of an autism diagnosis between 2 and 5 years. Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised data were available for 408 children, of whom 90 (22%) were classified as having language regression. RESULTS: Demographic and other health factors including caregiver education, family income, child sex, reported seizures, and age of enrolment did not differ between children with and without language regression. Children with language regression walked earlier and attained first words sooner than those without regression. However, both groups attained phrase speech at comparable ages. Those with regression exhibited greater delays in expressive and receptive communication over the follow-up period, although this effect was attenuated when accounting for baseline differences in motor and cognitive ability. Overall, those with language regression continued to exhibit expressive but not receptive communication delay compared to those without regression. Communication trajectories were heterogeneous to age 10 years, irrespective of regression status. CONCLUSIONS: Although language regression can be alarming, our findings confirm that its occurrence does not necessarily foreshadow worse developmental outcomes relative to those without regression. Although a discrepancy in age-equivalent communication skills may persist, this can be expected to be of less practical importance with rising average levels of skills. Future studies need to account for the significant variability in language trajectories by considering factors beyond developmental regression.
