A preliminary survey of 103 practitioners highlighted that SS are often used to support adapting to a change. This study investigated the use of digitally-mediated SS to support ten children on the autism spectrum attending a school summer camp. Teacher perceptions of anxiety, understanding and closeness to the goal of the SS were assessed before and after the intervention (prior to the event). The pre- post-intervention comparisons highlighted significant improvements in child understanding, anxiety, and closeness to goal with medium-large effect sizes. The child's understanding and closeness to SS goal post-intervention related to their difficulties with the SS goal and their anxiety during the event.

A Pilot Randomised Control Trial of Digitally-Mediated Social Stories for Children on the Autism Spectrum / R. HANRAHAN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-12 (December 2020)

Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Social stories is a widely used intervention for children on the autism spectrum, particularly within an educational context. To date, systematic reviews and meta analyses of the research evaluating social stories has produced mixed results, often due to a lack of methodological rigour and variability in the development and delivery of the social stories. To address the gap in methodological rigour, a pilot Randomised Control Trial (RCT) was conducted, incorporating a social stories intervention group (n?=?9 children on the autism spectrum) and an attentional control group who received a poem (n?=?6 children on the autism spectrum) using a digital platform to address variability. Digitally-mediated social stories were found to be effective in producing beneficial changes in behaviour outcomes, which were sustained at a six-week follow up.

Piloting a digitally-mediated social story intervention for autistic children led by teachers within naturalistic school settings / E. SMITH in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 75 (July 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 75 (July 2020) . - p.101533 Titre : Piloting a digitally-mediated social story intervention for autistic children led by teachers within naturalistic school settings Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : E. SMITH, Auteur ; P. TOMS, Auteur ; Aurora CONSTANTIN, Auteur ; H. JOHNSON, Auteur ; E. HARDING, Auteur ; Mark BROSNAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101533 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Social stories  Intervention  Digital technology  Teachers Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Social stories (SS) are widely used within the autism community. However, research into their effectiveness is mixed at best and mainly relies on single case study designs. Additional support from the researcher is also often provided, raising questions as to the use and effectiveness of SS within usual school settings. Method Seventeen school teachers developed and delivered personalised digitally-mediated SS with 22 autistic children (aged 5-11yrs) over a 4-week intervention period. Data was collected during a baseline period (1 week), throughout the 4-week intervention phase and at 6-week follow-up to consider changes in child behaviour, understanding and anxiety. A new assessment framework to evaluation treatment fidelity according to Gray’s 10 Criteria was also developed. Results With the support of a new SS app teachers were able to carry out SS interventions with a high degree of fidelity within their usual school settings. Behavioural data showed significant improvements from baseline to week 4 for all measures relating to the goals of the intervention (including a reduction in anxiety and an increase in understanding), some of which were still present at follow-up. Conclusion This study has demonstrated that technology can be used to support teachers to develop and deliver SS interventions to autistic children within school settings. Such technology can now be used to facilitate much needed future, larger, controlled studies within this area. Implications for practice are discussed.
