Several factors such as overlapping diagnoses can complicate this process and thus delay access to services. This study sought to identify meaningful clinical profiles, beyond diagnostic labels, in 194 children with NDDs referred to an assessment clinic. Cluster analyses were applied to eight selected behavioral and cognitive variables. Results suggested a cluster structure in which three homogenous groups differed significantly from one another: children who presented either (1) heterogeneous diagnoses and ambiguous profiles, (2) a clinical profile closely aligned to a classic presentation of ASD, and (3) emotional and behavioral challenges. These distinct profiles may have implications for assessment and clinical practices.

From Early Behavioral Intervention to School: A Systematic Evaluation of Parents’ Perspectives on the Quality of the Autism Services During the Transition to Kindergarten / Mélina RIVARD in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-2 (February 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-2 (February 2026) . - p.615–632 Titre : From Early Behavioral Intervention to School: A Systematic Evaluation of Parents’ Perspectives on the Quality of the Autism Services During the Transition to Kindergarten Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mélina RIVARD, Auteur ; Céline CHATENOUD, Auteur ; Chun-Yu CHIU, Auteur ; Heather ALDERSEY, Auteur ; Patrick COULOMBE, Auteur ; Marjorie MORIN, Auteur ; Catherine MELLO, Auteur ; Charlotte MAGNAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.615–632 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research emphasizes the importance of seamless transitions from Early Behavioral Intervention (EBI) to school-based services, but formal support during this critical period remains limited, leading to decreased parental satisfaction with autism services. This study aimed to systematically document parents’ perception of the quality of services received during the transition from EBI to kindergarten, along with the predictors of this perception. The study adopted a prospective longitudinal design and relied on a validated evaluation framework, the Evaluation of the Trajectory in Autism for Parents (ETAP). ETAP allows to investigate five critical determinants (accessibility, continuity, validity, flexibility, empathy) of service quality, as rated by parents (N = 138 families), which were evaluated at three critical periods of the transition: end of EBI, beginning and end of first year of school. Quality ratings indicated generally positive perceptions but showed small to medium effect size decreases over time; validity had the largest decrease. Predictors of quality ratings and changes in ratings differed by phase of the transition and included child characteristics (gender, age, disabilities, challenging behavior), parent characteristics (maternal origin, fluency in the official language of the province, education level), and family characteristics (number of children). This study’s comprehensive analysis of service quality determinants and possible risk and protective factors provides insights into improving support for families navigating the transition to school.

The Diagnostic Period for Autism: Risk and Protective Factors for Family Quality of Life in Early Childhood / Mélina RIVARD in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-10 (October 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 53-10 (October 2023) . - p.3755-3769 Titre : The Diagnostic Period for Autism: Risk and Protective Factors for Family Quality of Life in Early Childhood Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mélina RIVARD, Auteur ; Diane MORIN, Auteur ; Patrick COULOMBE, Auteur ; Marjorie MORIN, Auteur ; Catherine MELLO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3755-3769 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : During the diagnostic evaluation period for autism or intellectual disability (ID), families of young children are at risk for poor adjustment. The present study aimed to document family quality of life (FQOL), along with associated risk and protective factors, during this critical step of families' services trajectory. FQOL was measured in a large sample of families of children recently diagnosed with a neurodevelopmental disorder and examined in relation to the type of services received, children s clinical profile, and family variables. FQOL was related to types of services, children s challenging behavior, parenting stress, and several aspects of family composition and status. These findings highlight a need for mental health support for parents, coaching interventions for challenging behaviors, and family-centered supports.
