Effectiveness of Intensive Behavioral Intervention in a large, community-based program / Adrienne PERRY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2-4 (October 2008)

This study reports on the outcomes of 332 children, aged 2–7 years, enrolled in a large, community-based, publicly funded IBI Program in Ontario, Canada. File review data at intake and exit were compared on a group basis as well as on an individual basis. Results indicated statistically significant and clinically significant improvements: reduction in autism severity, gains in cognitive and adaptive levels, as well as a doubling of children's rate of development. There was a considerable heterogeneity in outcome, as expected, and children were classified into seven categories of progress/outcome. The majority of children (75%) showed some gains during IBI and 11% achieved average functioning. Although the study has clear methodological limitations (chiefly the lack of a comparison group), it suggests that IBI can be implemented effectively in a large, community-based program.

Experimental evaluation of the training structure of the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) / Anne CUMMINGS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)

Although prior studies have examined the clinical efficacy of PECS, none have experimentally evaluated its manualized training structure. We experimentally evaluated the effects of training during each of the 6 phases of PECS with 7 children with developmental or language disorders. For all 7 participants, PECS responses consistently increased only after training was completed for each of the first 4 phases, but increases in PECS responses occurred during tests of Phases 5 and 6 as soon as training was completed in Phase 4. Consistent with prior research, PECS was taught in a short period of time and required few prerequisite skills. However, 3 of the 7 participants had difficulty with some aspects of training and were able to acquire the targeted skills only after procedural modifications were made.

Predictors of outcome for children receiving intensive behavioral intervention in a large, community-based program / Adrienne PERRY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-1 (January-March 2011)

Data documenting children's progress were reported in an earlier publication (Perry et al., 2008). The present paper explores the degree to which four predictors (measured at intake to IBI) are related to children's outcomes: age at entry, IQ, adaptive scores, and autism severity. Outcome variables examined include: post-treatment scores for: autism severity, adaptive behavior, cognitive level, rate of development in IBI, and categorical progress/outcomes (seven subgroups). All four types of predictors were related to children's outcomes, although initial cognitive level was the strongest predictor. In addition, two subgroups of the sample are examined further. Children who were most successful in the program and achieved average functioning had higher developmental levels at intake, were considerably younger than the rest of the children, and were in treatment longer than children in other outcome categories. Children who were least successful in the program and made essentially no progress did not differ appreciably from the remainder of the group. Implications of these results for decision-making are discussed.
