The primary purpose of this study was to examine the impact of participation in a 12-month, longitudinal health promotion program designed for both autistic children and their parent. A total of 27 families participated in the intervention, including 29 autistic children (83% male, M?=?8.28?+?3.60?years) and 27 parents (93% female, M?=?40.04?+?7.95). Families attended in-person health promotion programming for 90?min per week. Children and parents were evaluated at four time points across the program, including baseline (0-months), 4-months, 8-months, and 12-months. Children were measured on fundamental motor competence, physical fitness, body composition, and proxy-reported physical activity. Parents were measured on body composition, physical fitness, and self-reported physical activity. Significant improvements were observed for autistic children in motor competence (p?

The relationship among early functional milestones and core deficits in Autism Spectrum Disorder / L. R. KETCHESON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 78 (October 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 78 (October 2020) . - 101638 Titre : The relationship among early functional milestones and core deficits in Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : L. R. KETCHESON, Auteur ; E. A. PITCHFORD, Auteur ; Chandler F. WENTZ, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101638 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Motor impairment  Functional skills  Early intervention  Core deficits Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is now the highest among the developmental disabilities in the United States, with recent statistics estimates of 1 in every 54 children. While growing attention on the early intervention services is warranted, what is not well understood is the relationship between the core deficits of ASD and the early functional skills in young children with ASD. Objectives The primary objective of this study was to determine the relationship between early developmental functional skills and behavioral outcomes in the core deficits of ASD. The secondary objective was to determine if the onset of early developmental functional milestones were related to age of diagnosis. Methods The current study is a secondary data analysis of the Simons Foundation Powering Autism Research for Knowledge cohort from the Simons Foundation Research Initiative (SFARI). Study objectives were examined using multiple linear regression analyses. To address the first objective, independent analyses were conducted for each behavioral subscale (Communication, Repetitive Behavior, Atypical Behavior, Social Reciprocity, and Peer Interaction). For the second objective a linear regression analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between core deficits and age of diagnosis. Results Multiple early functional milestones were significantly associated with current communication deficits, including the month of first independent walking (b = 0.11, p = .03), using words (b = -0.05, p = .02), and using combined phrases (b = 0.20, p < .001). However, the child's current age was the strongest predictor of current communication deficits (b = -0.53, p <. 001). The other core ASD deficit domains (i.e., Repetitive Behavior, Atypical Behavior, Social Reciprocity, and Peer Interaction) also had multiple significant associations with early functional milestones, but variance explained was negligible (R2 = 0.02?0.05). In terms of the second objective, significant predictors of the age of ASD diagnosis (in order of average attainment) included: month of first reported smiling (b = - 0.17, p = .007), walking (b = 0.24, p = .002), use of combined words (b = -0.10, p = .02), combined phrases (b = -0.40, p < .001), bladder-trained (b = -0.07, p = .03), and bowel-trained (b = -0.17, p <.001). Conclusion This study represents one of the first attempts at examining relationships among the acquisition of early functional milestones and outcomes in children with ASD. The current study may provide critical information related to the screening, diagnosis and intervention prescription for young children with ASD.

The Relationship Between Developmental Coordination Disorder and Concurrent Deficits in Social Communication and Repetitive Behaviors Among Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Leah R. KETCHESON in Autism Research, 14-4 (April 2021)

While pervasive delays in motor behavior are common, formal diagnosis of Development Coordination Disorder (DCD) is uncommon. It is not clear how DCD and ID impact core deficits in ASD. This study utilized the Simons Foundation SPARK cohort to describe the scope of motor incoordination among children with ASD and examine the interrelationships between DCD risk, ID, and ASD core deficits. 10,234 children with ASD, between the ages of 5 and 15?years, were included in the analysis. Parents completed online versions of the DCD Questionnaire (DCD-Q), Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) and Restrictive Behavior Scale (RBS-R). 85% of children with ASD had DCD-Q scores consistent with being at-risk for DCD, but only 14% reported a formal diagnosis. Children with ID exhibited significantly greater motor incoordination compared to children without ID (P?
