The So Fit manualized intervention (prescribed content and instructional procedures) was delivered to groups of 8–11 autistic children, and it consisted of two 60-minute sessions per week over 10 weeks. Each session included a skills instruction component targeting social and physical performance skills (10–15 min) followed by an exercise-based activity (45–50 min) to promote social interactions, practice social skills, and receive feedback. A behavioral reinforcement system was also implemented to foster skills development and improve ASD-features. Lastly, parents participated in three psychoeducational parent training groups on the program, and strategies for teaching, reinforcing, and generalizing skills/behaviors outside the program setting. Fidelity was high, parent and child satisfaction were good, and there were no adverse events/injuries or withdrawals supporting feasibility. Pre-posttest comparisons indicated significant improvements in parent-rated social skills and ASD-features, and on objective observations/tests of child social performance, social knowledge, and physical performance. Additional testing of So Fit in a randomized trial appears warranted and recommendations are provided.

Psychometric properties of the Cambridge-Mindreading Face-Voice Battery for Children in children with ASD / Jonathan D. RODGERS in Autism Research, 14-9 (September 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-9 (September 2021) . - p.1965-1974 Titre : Psychometric properties of the Cambridge-Mindreading Face-Voice Battery for Children in children with ASD Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jonathan D. RODGERS, Auteur ; Christopher LOPATA, Auteur ; Adam J. BOOTH, Auteur ; Marcus L. THOMEER, Auteur ; James P. DONNELLY, Auteur ; Christian J. RAJNISZ, Auteur ; Joseph T. WOOD, Auteur ; Jennifer LODI-SMITH, Auteur ; Karl F. KOZLOWSKI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1965-1974 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  Child  Emotions  Facial Expression  Facial Recognition  Humans  Psychometrics  Reproducibility of Results  Voice  Cambridge-Mindreading Face-Voice Battery for Children  children  facial emotion recognition  psychometrics  social cognition  vocal emotion recognition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined the psychometric characteristics of the Cambridge-Mindreading Face-Voice Battery for Children (CAM-C) for a sample of 333 children, ages 6-12 years with ASD (with no intellectual disability). Internal consistency was very good for the Total score (0.81 for both Faces and Voices) and respectable for the Complex emotions score (0.72 for Faces and 0.74 for Voices); however, internal consistency was lower for Simple emotions (0.65 for Faces and 0.61 for Voices). Test-retest reliability at 18 and 36 weeks was very good for the faces and voices total (0.76-0.81) and good for simple and complex faces and voices (0.53-0.75). Significant correlations were found between CAM-C Faces and scores on another measure of face-emotion recognition (Diagnostic Analysis of Nonverbal Accuracy-Second Edition), and between Faces and Voices scores and child age, IQ (except perceptual IQ and Simple Voice emotions), and language ability. Parent-reported ASD symptom severity and the Emotion Recognition scale on the SRS-2 were not related to CAM-C scores. Suggestions for future studies and further development of the CAM-C are provided. LAY SUMMARY: Facial and vocal emotion recognition are important for social interaction and have been identified as a challenge for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. Emotion recognition is an area frequently targeted by interventions. This study evaluated a measure of emotion recognition (the CAM-C) for its consistency and validity in a large sample of children with autism. The study found the CAM-C showed many strengths needed to accurately measure the change in emotion recognition during intervention.
