GOLDSTEIN, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.385-394 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Recent overviews of autism research have yielded a number of suggestions, including: additional research with very young, and with lower functioning samples, and renewed emphasis on appropriate comparison/control groups. We reviewed the abstracts from a major autism conference (IMFAR) from 2004 to 2006 to examine these trends. We found an increase in the proportion of studies with preschool or infant participants. However, there was a decrease in studies using lower functioning samples, and an increase in studies using Mixed samples. The use of control groups generally decreased, and the use of cognitively impaired comparison groups remains low. We also found the use of the more generic term, ASD, versus DSM categories as sample descriptors increasing at IMFAR. The potential impact of these trends on limiting the generalizability of results is discussed.

Treatments for Autism: Parental Choices and Perceptions of Change / Anne BOWKER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 41-10 (October 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 41-10 (October 2011) . - p.1373-1382 Titre : Treatments for Autism: Parental Choices and Perceptions of Change Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anne BOWKER, Auteur ; Nadia M. D’ANGELO, Auteur ; Robin HICKS, Auteur ; Kerry WELLS, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.1373-1382 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Treatment  Parent perception Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Empirically conducted studies of the efficacy of various treatments for autism are limited, which leaves parents with little evidence on which to base their treatment decisions (Kasari, Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 32: 447–461, 2002). The purpose of this study was to examine the types of treatments in current use by families of children with ASD. In addition, parents’ perceptions of improvement in their child’s functioning were explored. Through an online survey, a sample of 970 parents of ASD children reported on the treatments currently in use, those discontinued, and reasons for discontinuation. Results indicate that most families adopt multiple treatment approaches. Parents were most likely to discontinue non-evidence based treatments when they did not see improvement in their child’s functioning.
