Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 76 (August 2020) . - p.101583 Titre : Brief report: Caregiver perceptions of autism practices Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Veronica P. FLEURY, Auteur ; Pang CHAXIONG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101583 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Evidence-based practices  Unsubstantiated practices  Caregiver  Survey Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Unsubstantiated practices continue to be viewed as viable options by caregivers, despite the existence of evidence-based practices. The purpose of this study was to better understand factors that influence caregivers’ acceptance of various practices for their children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods Primary aims were addressed using survey methodology. Caregivers of children with ASD (N?=?75) read texts describing eight practices for intervening or treating aspects of ASD: four evidence-based practices (EBP) and four unsubstantiated practices. The text presentation was based on a 2?×?2 within-subjects factorial design with practice status (EBP or unsubstantiated) and source credibility (credible or non-credible) as the independent variables. For each text, caregivers reported on their familiarity with the practice and the extent to which they approve of the practice described. Results Caregivers were more familiar with unsubstantiated practices than with EBPs but reported higher approval of EBPs. The main effect of source credibility on caregiver approval ratings was not significant. A significant interaction was observed between practice status and source credibility. Caregivers were more likely to approve of unsubstantiated practices endorsed by credible sources and, similarly, of EBPs endorsed by non-credible sources. Conclusion Understanding how caregivers perceive of ASD practices is the first step in developing trainings aimed at teaching them to be savvy consumers of autism information. These are preliminary findings based on a probabilistic sample. Readers are cautioned about applying these findings to the broader caregiver population. Future research directions are discussed.

Relations of Restricted and Repetitive Behaviors to Social Skills in Toddlers with Autism / Pang CHAXIONG in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-4 (April 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 52-4 (April 2022) . - p.1423-1434 Titre : Relations of Restricted and Repetitive Behaviors to Social Skills in Toddlers with Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Pang CHAXIONG, Auteur ; Catherine BURROWS, Auteur ; Kelly N. BOTTERON, Auteur ; Stephen R. DAGER, Auteur ; Annette M. ESTES, Auteur ; Heather C. HAZLETT, Auteur ; Robert T. SCHULTZ, Auteur ; Lonnie ZWAIGENBAUM, Auteur ; Joseph PIVEN, Auteur ; Jason WOLFF, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1423-1434 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  Autistic Disorder  Child, Preschool  Cognition  Humans  Social Skills  Stereotyped Behavior  Autism  Insistence on sameness  Repetitive sensory-motor  Restricted repetitive behavior  Self-injurious behavior Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We examined the relations of restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRB; insistence on sameness, repetitive sensory-motor, self-injurious behavior) to social skills overall and aspects that comprise social skills as measured by the VABS-II (coping skills, play/leisure time, interpersonal relationships) in 24- (n=63) and 36-month old (n=35), high-familial-risk toddlers with ASD. Hierarchical linear regression results indicated that repetitive sensory-motor was the best predictor of social skills overall. Secondary results indicated that all three RRB subtypes were associated with each subdomain of social skills; however, repetitive sensory-motor was the strongest and most consistent among these effects. While our results suggests a general negative relation of subtypes of RRB to aspects of adaptive social function, repetitive sensory-motor behaviors may be of particular relevance to the development of social skills during toddlerhood.
