Correlates of obtained preventive dental services were examined within the ATN sample. Participants included 375 families of children ages 4 to 17 enrolled in the ATN. ATN families reported levels of preventive dental care that were similar to, or exceeded, NSCH-reported care. However, disparities in obtained preventive dental services emerged within the ATN sample. Lower intellectual functioning was the most consistent correlate of reduced access to and completion of preventive dental care. Implications for developing system-wide supports and targeted interventions are discussed.

Physical activity rates in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder compared to the general population / Jean- G. GEHRICKE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 70 (February 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 70 (February 2020) . - p.101490 Titre : Physical activity rates in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder compared to the general population Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jean- G. GEHRICKE, Auteur ; James CHAN, Auteur ; Justin G. FARMER, Auteur ; Rachel M. FENNING, Auteur ; Robin STEINBERG-EPSTEIN, Auteur ; Madhusmita MISRA, Auteur ; Robert A. PARKER, Auteur ; Ann M. NEUMEYER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101490 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Physical exercise  Pediatrics Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Physical activity may improve symptoms and skill deficits associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The objective of this study was to compare the reported frequency of physical activity and covariates in a large sample of children with ASD with children of similar age from the general population. The sample with ASD was derived from the Autism Treatment Network Registry Call Back Assessment (n = 611), and the general population data were derived from the National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) (n = 71,811). In addition, demographic, child, and family (parent) factors were examined in relation to frequency of recent physical activity in children with ASD. Among males in the 6?11 year-old age group, those with ASD participated in physical activity less often (p < 0.001) than those in the NSCH general population. Specifically, 33 % of boys 6?11 years old in the NSCH group vs. only 17 % in the RCBA group 6?11 years old engaged in some physical activity every day, while 4 % of boys in the NSCH group vs. 18 % in the RCBA group engaged in no physical activity whatsoever. A similar effect was seen across other age groups and in females but was not statistically significant. The demographic, child, and family characteristics associated with physical activity in children and adolescents with ASD included ethnicity in females, DSM-IV ASD diagnosis, IQ, and PAM-13 total score in females. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to find suitable physical activity programs for children with ASD. This may be especially important for 6?11 year-old boys with ASD who engage in significantly less physical activity than their peers in the general population.

The effects of a physical exercise program, LEGOR and Minecraft activities on anxiety in underserved children with autism spectrum disorder / Jean- G. GEHRICKE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 97 (September 2022)

Physical exercise is a low cost and easy-to-access intervention with therapeutic benefits for reducing anxiety in adults and adolescents. There are currently no randomized controlled trials on the feasibility and efficacy of a physical exercise intervention to reduce anxiety in younger children with ASD. Method 148 children (6 “12 years old) with ASD were randomized into a clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of an 8-week exercise protocol designed to reduce anxiety specifically in younger children with ASD. Participants were randomized to an exercise intervention group (N = 76) or sedentary activity LEGO/Minecraft group (N = 72). Both programs were administered 1 “3 times weekly for 8 weeks. Anxiety was assessed via parent ratings with the Child Behavior Checklist DSM-5 anxiety subscale (CBCL DSM-5) at weeks 1, 3, 6, and 8 as well as follow up at weeks 12 and 16. Secondary outcome measures included child self-reported anxiety (Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders; SCARED), sleep (Child’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire, CSHQ-ATN), physical activity level (Physical Activity Questionnaire, PAQ-C), and salivary cortisol measured at weeks 1, 3, 6, and 8. Results Parent-rated (CBCL DSM-5) and self-reported (SCARED) anxiety scores showed improvements at weeks 3, 6 and 8 in both groups with no significant differences between the physical exercise and sedentary activity (LEGO/Minecraft) groups. In addition, the CBCL DSM-5 anxiety scores decreased only in the physical exercise group at weeks 12 and 16 compared to baseline with no significant difference from LEGO/Minecraft group. Sleep also showed improvements during weeks 6 and 8 in the physical exercise group but not in the LEGO/Minecraft group with no significant differences between the groups. Physical activity level was significantly increased in the physical exercise group compared to the LEGO/Minecraft group at week 8. Salivary cortisol did not show any significant changes from weeks 1 “8 or differences between groups. Conclusion Eight-week physical exercise and sedentary LEGO/Minecraft interventions reduced parent-rated and self-reported anxiety in 6 “12-year-old underserved children with ASD with no significant difference between the intervention groups.

Vision care among school-aged children with autism spectrum disorder in North America: Findings from the Autism Treatment Network Registry Call-Back Study / Olivia J. LINDLY in Autism, 25-3 (April 2021)

KUHLTHAU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.840-853 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  children  healthcare disparities  preventive care  vision tests Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with autism are at high risk for vision problems, which may compound core social and behavioral symptoms if untreated. Despite recommendations for school-aged children with autism to receive routine vision testing by an eye care practitioner (ophthalmologist or optometrist), little is known about their vision care. This study, therefore, examined vision care among 351 children with autism ages 6-17?years in the United States or Canada who were enrolled in the Autism Treatment Network Registry. Parents were surveyed using the following vision care measures: (1) child's vision was tested with pictures, shapes, or letters in the past 2?years; (2) child's vision was tested by an eye care practitioner in the past 2?years; (3) child was prescribed corrective eyeglasses; and (4) child wore eyeglasses as recommended. Sociodemographic characteristics such as parent education level, child functioning characteristics such as child communication abilities, and family functioning characteristics such as caregiver strain were also assessed in relationship to vision care. Although 78% of children with autism had their vision tested, only 57% had an eye care practitioner test their vision in the past 2?years. Among the 30% of children with autism prescribed corrective eyeglasses, 78% wore their eyeglasses as recommended. Differences in vision care were additionally found among children with autism by parent education, household income, communication abilities, intellectual functioning, and caregiver strain. Overall, study results suggest many school-aged children with autism do not receive recommended vision care and highlight potentially modifiable disparities in vision care.
