Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The 13-item Classroom Observation Scale is an autism spectrum disorder screening tool for teachers and non-clinically trained observers to make real-time observation of children's peer interaction (or the lack thereof) in regular preschool classrooms. The Classroom Observation Scale was originally developed in English and validated with ethnically diverse preschoolers at English-speaking international schools serving families from middle to middle-upper socioeconomic backgrounds in Hong Kong. These private schools can usually afford a higher teacher-student ratio, which is not typical for most preschools. This study, therefore, investigated whether the Classroom Observation Scale is ecologically valid when used by Chinese teachers with teacher-student ratios typically found in less-resourced preschools. We found that the Classroom Observation Scale reliably helped observers with little or no clinical training-research assistants with just a few hours of Classroom Observation Scale training and preschool teachers with an hour of briefing-to identify children in their first year of Chinese-language preschool who were more likely than their peers to have autism spectrum disorder. Reliability estimates of Classroom Observation Scale-Teacher and Classroom Observation Scale-Researcher in this study were comparable to those for the original English Classroom Observation Scale. Our results provided further evidence on the versatility and ecological validity of the Classroom Observation Scale for use by preschool teachers and non-clinically trained observers in the early identification of children with autism spectrum disorder in community settings.

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 25-2 (February 2021) . - p.516-528 Titre : Autism spectrum disorder screening in preschools Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Angel Hoe-Chi AU, Auteur ; Kathy Kar-Man SHUM, Auteur ; Yongtian CHENG, Auteur ; Hannah Man-Yan TSE, Auteur ; Rose Mui-Fong WONG, Auteur ; Johnson LI, Auteur ; Terry Kit-Fong AU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.516-528 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  early identification  peer interaction  preschool  screening Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : With professional training and regular opportunities to observe children interacting with their peers, preschool teachers are in a good position to notice children's autism spectrum disorder symptomatology. Yet even when a preschool teacher suspects that a child may have autism spectrum disorder, fear of false alarm may hold the teacher back from alerting the parents, let alone suggesting them to consider clinical assessment for the child. A valid and convenient screening tool can help preschool teachers make more informed and hence more confident judgment. We set out to develop a screening tool that capitalizes on peer interaction as a naturalistic "stress test" to identify children more likely than their peers to have autism spectrum disorder. A total of 304 3- to 4-year-olds were observed at school with an 84-item preliminary checklist; data-driven item reduction yielded a 13-item Classroom Observation Scale. The Classroom Observation Scale scores correlated significantly with Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2 scores. To validate the scale, another 322 2- to 4-year-olds were screened using the Classroom Observation Scale. The screen-positive children and randomly selected typically developing peers were assessed for autism spectrum disorder 1.5 years later. The Classroom Observation Scale as used by teachers and researchers near preschool onset predicted autism spectrum disorder diagnoses 1.5 years later. This user-friendly 13-item Classroom Observation Scale enables teachers and healthcare workers with little or no clinical training to identify, with reliable and valid results, preschoolers more likely than their peers to have autism spectrum disorder.
