Autism Spectrum Disorder Screening Instruments for Very Young Children: A Systematic Review / P. O. TOWLE in Autism Research and Treatment, 2016 (2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research and Treatment > 2016 (2016) Titre : Autism Spectrum Disorder Screening Instruments for Very Young Children: A Systematic Review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : P. O. TOWLE, Auteur ; Patricia A. PATRICK, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research on ASD in infancy has provided a rationale for developing screening instruments for children from the first year of life to age of 18 months. A comprehensive literature search identified candidate screening tools. Using methodological probe questions adapted from the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS), two Level 1 and three Level 2 screening instruments were reviewed in detail. Research evidence conclusions were that instrument development was in beginning phases, is not yet strong, and requires further development. Clinical recommendations were to continue vigilant developmental and autism surveillance from the first year on but to use the screening instruments per se only for high-risk children rather than for population screening, with considerations regarding feasibility for individual settings, informing caregivers about strengths and weaknesses of the tool, and monitoring new research.

Is Earlier Better? The Relationship between Age When Starting Early Intervention and Outcomes for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Selective Review / Patricia O. TOWLE in Autism Research and Treatment, 2020 (2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research and Treatment > 2020 (2020) Titre : Is Earlier Better? The Relationship between Age When Starting Early Intervention and Outcomes for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Selective Review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Patricia O. TOWLE, Auteur ; Patricia A. PATRICK, Auteur ; Tamique RIDGARD, Auteur ; Sofia PHAM, Auteur ; Jaime MARRUS, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although the conventional wisdom is that "earlier is better" when it comes to intervention for children with ASD, it is not clear what evidence exists to support this notion. This review examined a group of studies that addressed outcomes for young children with ASD who started early intervention at a range of ages. The review was selective by including only papers that examined the age of initiation of treatment as well as baseline cognitive, language, or adaptive level and, in addition, employed a method to control for the covariance between early ability level and age of beginning intervention. Fourteen studies were identified and then compared on methods and outcomes. The support for "earlier is better" was mixed, but it was clear that complex relationships among predictor variables need to be explored in order to understand the role of age of starting early intervention for later outcomes.
