A national panel of 13 experts provided an evaluation of the domain relevance, age appropriateness, method of measurement appropriateness, and domain representation across the three levels of the Milestones Assessment, Early Echoic Skills Assessment (EESA), and Barriers Assessment. Overall, the content validity evidence for the VB-MAPP Milestones, EESA, and Barriers Assessment was moderate to strong across the evaluated areas although there were areas with limited or conflicting support. The evidence suggests that the scores of the VB-MAPP provide information relevant to the target behaviors of interest but a few domains may not be fully represented by their specific items.

Decreasing motor stereotypy in individuals with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review / Jessica S. AKERS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 77 (September 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 77 (September 2020) . - 101611 Titre : Decreasing motor stereotypy in individuals with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jessica S. AKERS, Auteur ; Tonya N. DAVIS, Auteur ; Stephanie GEROW, Auteur ; Suzannah AVERY, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101611 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Stereotypy  Autism  Behavioral interventions  Review Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Stereotypic behaviors are repetitive, coordinated, seemingly purposeless behaviors that are most often maintained by automatic reinforcement. Motor stereotypy can range from mild to severe depending on the topography, frequency and extent to which they interfere with ongoing activities. Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at an increased risk of exhibiting complex motor stereotypies. Method The purpose of this literature review was to summarize and evaluate the quality of the literature on behavioral interventions to reduce motor stereotypy among individuals with ASD. We reviewed 126 experiments that addressed motor stereotypy using antecedent interventions, reinforcement-based interventions, punishment interventions or a combination of interventions. Results We determined that altering the environment during the session (e.g., continuous access to a competing stimulus) and differential reinforcement of alternative behavior are evidence-based interventions according to the What Works Clearinghouse standards. Conclusions Based on these findings, we discuss considerations for implementing these interventions, procedures for conducting assessments, and areas for future research.
