There is a need to confirm the identified factors and examine the factor structure in a racially/ethnically diverse, community-based sample. The current study conducts a psychometric analysis of the ECBI in a sample of children with ASD receiving publicly-funded mental health services. Data were collected from 201 children with ASD ages 5-13 years (60% Hispanic/Latinx) participating in a community effectiveness trial. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated poor model fit using previously identified factors and a new four-factor solution was identified. Clinical and research implications of these findings are discussed.

Randomized Feasibility Pilot of an Executive Functioning Intervention Adapted for Children?s Mental Health Settings / Megan GALLIGAN ; Tana HOLT ; Lauren KENWORTHY ; Laura ANTHONY ; Scott ROESCH ; Lauren BROOKMAN-FRAZEE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-7 (July 2025)

The goal of the present study was to conduct a randomized feasibility trial of Unstuck and On Target, an executive functioning intervention, adapted for delivery in children?s community mental health setting. Mental health therapists (n = 26) enrolled with participating autistic clients (n = 32) were randomized to receive training in and deliver the adapted Unstuck intervention or to deliver care as usual. We completed masked observational measures of Unstuck strategy use (fidelity) during recorded sessions of participating therapist-client dyads and collected measures of acceptability from participating clients and their caregivers. We also collected measures of pre-post changes in executive functioning and mental health symptoms. Therapists trained in Unstuck demonstrated significantly higher use of Unstuck strategies compared to usual care therapists. Caregivers and autistic clients perceive adapted Unstuck as highly acceptability and helpful. Autistic clients whose therapists were trained in adapted Unstuck demonstrated larger pre-post changes in executive functioning compared to usual care. Across all participating clients, changes in executive functioning were significantly related to changes in mental health symptoms. Finally, clients of therapists trained in adapted Unstuck demonstrated moderate improvements in overall mental health symptoms. The current study provides preliminary evidence of the feasibility and impact of Unstuck and On Target for children?s community mental health settings.

The effectiveness of training community mental health therapists in an evidence-based intervention for ASD: Findings from a hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial in outpatient and school-based mental health services / Lauren BROOKMAN-FRAZEE in Autism, 26-3 (April 2022)

An Individualized Mental Health Intervention for ASD (AIM HI) was developed in collaboration with community stakeholders to respond to identified needs of children and community therapists. The current study examined the effects of therapist training in AIM HI on the changes in therapist practice, including therapists' use of evidence-based intervention strategies in session. Data were collected from a study conducted in community outpatient and school based mental health programs randomly assigned to receive AIM HI therapist training or observation of routine care. Therapist and child clients were enrolled from participating programs. Therapists in AIM HI training received training and consultation for 6?months while delivering the AIM HI intervention to a participating client; therapists in usual care delivered routine care. Both groups of therapists video recorded psychotherapy sessions which were scored by trained raters. Differences between training groups were examined using multilevel modeling. Therapists trained in AIM HI were observed to use more extensive active teaching strategies with caregivers, engagement strategies with children, strategies promoting continuity of care, and had more structured sessions with more effective pursuit of caregiver and children skill teaching. Therapist licensure moderated some training outcomes.

The latent structure of the Delis-Kaplan system for autism / Reilly MACDONALD in Autism Research, 17-4 (April 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 17-4 (April 2024) . - p.728-738 Titre : The latent structure of the Delis-Kaplan system for autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Reilly MACDONALD, Auteur ; Mary BAKER-ERICZEN, Auteur ; Scott ROESCH, Auteur ; May YEH, Auteur ; Kelsey S. DICKSON, Auteur ; Jasmine SMITH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.728-738 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract A core feature of autism is deficits in executive functioning (EF), including difficulty with planning, cognitive flexibility, and working memory. Despite a growing need for evidence-based assessments of EF for autism populations, statistical models of many commonly used measures of EF, including the Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS), have not been investigated for a sample of autistic participants. The purpose of this study was to address a gap in the literature regarding the latent structure of the D-KEFS in a sample of autistic individuals. The D-KEFS is one of the most widely used clinical assessments of executive function, but its factor structure has not been examined in a sample of autistic participants. Reliability analyses were performed for sample subgroups based on participants' clinical and demographic characteristics, including IQ, autism severity, age, and race/ethnicity. Verbal Fluency (VF) was found to consistently decrease or not affect the overall reliability score. Additionally, one- and two-factor structure models were tested for the D-KEFS with a sample of autistic participants. The one-factor model was not found to be a good fit for the data. However, the two-factor model, with Cognitive Flexibility and Abstraction latent factors, was found to fit the data relatively well. This two-factor model was reexamined excluding the VF observed variable, resulting in a better overall model fit. Communication deficits are a common feature of autism, which explains why the VF task, that requires participants to produce novel words, may not be an adequate measure of executive function for autism populations.

A Waitlist Randomized Implementation Trial of Classroom Pivotal Response Teaching for Students With Autism / Aubyn C. STAHMER in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 38-1 (March 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 38-1 (March 2023) . - p.32-44 Titre : A Waitlist Randomized Implementation Trial of Classroom Pivotal Response Teaching for Students With Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Aubyn C.

The current study evaluated student outcomes in a randomized, wait-list controlled implementation trial across classrooms. Participants included teachers (n = 126) and students with autism (n = 308). Teachers participated in 12 hours of didactic, interactive training and additional in-classroom coaching. Generalized Estimating Equations accounted for clustering. Adjusted models evaluated the relative effects of training group, CPRT fidelity, and classroom quality on student outcomes. Results indicate higher CPRT fidelity was associated with greater increases in student learning. Having received CPRT training predicted increased student engagement and greater decreases in reported approach/withdrawal problems. These differences may be linked to the theoretical foundations of CPRT of increasing student motivation and engagement and collaborative adaptation to increase feasibility in schools. Overall, results suggest CPRT may be a beneficial approach for supporting autistic students.
