KUSHNER, Auteur ; Nicole HENDRIX, Auteur ; Nailah ISLAM, Auteur ; Katherine PICKARD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1441-1456 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : disruptive behaviors  implementation science  interventions-psychosocial/behavioral Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions are an empirically supported intervention approach for young autistic children. Despite the prevalence of disruptive behaviors among autistic children, most manualized caregiver-mediated naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions include limited formal guidance on when and how to manage disruptive behavior. The present study sought to characterize how clinicians address disruptive behaviors within the caregiver-mediated naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention, Project ImPACT, the effect of disruptive behavior on Project ImPACT delivery, and the extent to which disruptive behavior impacts social communication outcomes. Data collection was embedded within outpatient early intervention services and included clinicians' report of adaptations to address behavior within the electronic medical record, child social communication outcomes from 124 children and their caregivers, and interviews with certified Project ImPACT coaches and trainers. Results indicate that close to one-third of Project ImPACT sessions included adaptations made to address behavior and regulation. Furthermore, adaptations made to address disruptive behavior were associated with more adaptations to Project ImPACT overall, although behavior adaptations were not associated with child social communication outcomes. Qualitatively, clinicians described using a flexible approach to integrate content and coaching related to behavior and regulation. The present study indicates several future directions for supporting clinicians in addressing behavior and regulation within the naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention framework. Lay Abstract Naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions are a common and well-researched type of intervention for young autistic children that focus on supporting social communication. These interventions often do not include formal guidelines on how to address disruptive behaviors, even though they are common among autistic children. This study measured how often clinicians delivering a specific naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention, Project ImPACT, adapted how they delivered the program to address disruptive behavior, and how these adaptations related to children s social communication outcomes at the end of their participation in the intervention. We also spoke with clinicians about how they address disruptive behavior and emotion regulation during their sessions. In this study, clinicians adapted Project ImPACT to address disruptive behaviors in about one-third of all sessions. These adaptations did not affect children s social communication outcomes. Clinicians discussed how they felt social communication, disruptive behavior, and emotion regulation are linked to one another and that they often try to integrate intervention strategies to address each of these areas. However, they note that a clinicians' approach to addressing disruptive behavior might vary depending on their level of training and experience. These results indicate several future directions for supporting clinicians in addressing behavior and regulation effectively within these types of interventions.

Results from 100 EI providers representing multiple disciplines indicated reported use of NDBI strategies within their practice despite inconsistent reported competency with manualized NDBI programs.

Examining provider decisions around the delivery and adaptation of a parent-mediated intervention within an Early Intervention system / Katherine PICKARD in Autism, 27-8 (November 2023)

Although research to date suggests that Early Intervention providers deliver parent-mediated intervention near fidelity, current fidelity reporting practices make delivery difficult to discern. Understanding how parent-mediated interventions are delivered and adapted in a more nuanced manner, including fine-grained intervention delivery and adaptation processes, is important and may increase our understanding of how well these models are aligned within Early Intervention systems. The current study examined the delivery of an evidence-based parent-mediated intervention, Project ImPACT, when delivered by Early Intervention providers and examined their intervention fidelity, the decisions they weighed when delivering Project ImPACT, and reported adaptations to Project ImPACT. Results from 24 providers demonstrated, on average, higher fidelity in response to consultative feedback but notable variability across providers. Preliminary qualitative data highlighted that many events arose within sessions that drove providers to augment their delivery of Project ImPACT. Results suggest the importance of carefully examining how and why providers deliver evidence-based interventions within Early Intervention systems, and the impact of these decisions on fidelity metrics and service outcomes.Lay abstractParent-mediated interventions are an evidence-based practice for autism in which providers support caregivers in learning and applying strategies that support their child?s development.

This research has been promising; however, it has been difficult to determine how Early Intervention providers deliver and adapt parent-mediated interventions to meet the needs of the families they serve.

However, there was also variability in how providers delivered Project ImPACT, with some delivering the program inconsistently, some increasing their quality throughout consultation, and others having consistently high-quality delivery. In addition, qualitative data demonstrated that a variety of events arose within Project ImPACT sessions that drove providers to adapt the program.

Social attention during object engagement: toward a cross-species measure of preferential social orienting / Claire WEICHSELBAUM in Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 14 (2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders > 14 (2022) Titre : Social attention during object engagement: toward a cross-species measure of preferential social orienting Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Claire WEICHSELBAUM, Auteur ; Nicole HENDRIX, Auteur ; Jordan ALBRIGHT, Auteur ; Joseph D. DOUGHERTY, Auteur ; Kelly N. BOTTERON, Auteur ; John N. CONSTANTINO, Auteur ; Natasha MARRUS, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Infant  Humans  Animals  Dogs  Autism Spectrum Disorder/psychology  Social Behavior  Prospective Studies  Attention  Cognition  Autism  Cross-species  Social attention  Social motivation  Social orienting  Responsiveness Scale. The other authors declare that they have no competing  interests. Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: A central challenge in preclinical research investigating the biology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is the translation of ASD-related social phenotypes across humans and animal models. Social orienting, an observable, evolutionarily conserved behavior, represents a promising cross-species ASD phenotype given that disrupted social orienting is an early-emerging ASD feature with evidence for predicting familial recurrence. Here, we adapt a competing-stimulus social orienting task from domesticated dogs to naturalistic play behavior in human toddlers and test whether this approach indexes decreased social orienting in ASD. METHODS: Play behavior was coded from the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) in two samples of toddlers, each with and without ASD. Sample 1 (n = 16) consisted of community-ascertained research participants, while Sample 2 involved a prospective study of infants at a high or low familial liability for ASD (n = 67). Coding quantified the child's looks towards the experimenter and caregiver, a social stimulus, while playing with high-interest toys, a non-social stimulus. A competing-stimulus measure of "Social Attention During Object Engagement" (SADOE) was calculated by dividing the number of social looks by total time spent playing with toys. SADOE was compared based on ASD diagnosis and differing familial liability for ASD. RESULTS: In both samples, toddlers with ASD exhibited significantly lower SADOE compared to toddlers without ASD, with large effect sizes (Hedges' g ≥ 0.92) driven by a lower frequency of child-initiated spontaneous looks. Among toddlers at high familial likelihood of ASD, toddlers with ASD showed lower SADOE than toddlers without ASD, while SADOE did not differ based on presence or absence of familial ASD risk alone. SADOE correlated negatively with ADOS social affect calibrated severity scores and positively with the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales social subscale. In a binary logistic regression model, SADOE alone correctly classified 74.1% of cases, which rose to 85.2% when combined with cognitive development. CONCLUSIONS: This work suggests that a brief behavioral measure pitting a high-interest nonsocial stimulus against the innate draw of social partners can serve as a feasible cross-species measure of social orienting, with implications for genetically informative behavioral phenotyping of social deficits in ASD and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
