Nonverbal Communication Skills in Young Children with Autism / Chung-Hsin CHIANG in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 38-10 (November 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 38-10 (November 2008) . - p.1898-1906 Titre : Nonverbal Communication Skills in Young Children with Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Chung-Hsin CHIANG, Auteur ; Wei-Tsuen SOONG, Auteur ; Tzu-Ling LIN, Auteur ; Sally J ROGERS, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.1898-1906 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Nonverbal-communication Young-autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Objective The study was to examine nonverbal communication in young children with autism. Methods The participants were 23 young children with autism (mean CA = 32.79 months), 23 CA and MA-matched children with developmental delay and 22 18–20-month-old, and 22 13–15-month-old typically developing toddlers and infants. The abbreviated Early Social Communication Scales [Mundy et al. 1996, Early social communication scales (ESCS)] were used to test three types of nonverbal communicative skills, i.e., joint attention, requesting, and social interaction. Both frequency and proportion analyses were done in group comparisons. Results (1) Two- to three-year-old children with autism displayed deficits in joint attention ability, especially high-level skills. (2) The deficit in terms of frequency of communication was marked even compared with typically developing infants with younger mental age. (3) Young children with autism had different nonverbal communication profile compared with all three comparison groups. Conclusion Early social-communicative difficulties in autism involve early triadic communications involving joint attention and possibly dyadic turn-taking skills, which has implications for both early screening and early intervention.

Preliminary clinical outcomes of a short-term low-intensity Early Start Denver Model implemented in the Taiwanese public health system / Tzu-Ling LIN in Autism, 24-5 (July 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 24-5 (July 2020) . - p.1300-1306 Titre : Preliminary clinical outcomes of a short-term low-intensity Early Start Denver Model implemented in the Taiwanese public health system Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Tzu-Ling LIN, Auteur ; Chung-Hsin CHIANG, Auteur ; Suk Yin HO, Auteur ; Hsin-Chi WU, Auteur ; Ching-Ching WONG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1300-1306 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Early Start Denver Model  autism spectrum disorder  early intervention  low-intensity  short-term Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Early Start Denver Model is a comprehensive naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention for young children with autism spectrum disorder. Rigorous studies indicate that long-term, high-intensity Early Start Denver Model in home-based settings can help young children with autism spectrum disorder have great progress in language, cognitive development, and adaptive skills and reduce overall symptom severity. In accordance with the current limitations in resourcing for early intervention in Taiwan, this study evaluated the effects of implementing the Early Start Denver Model in the Taiwanese public health system with some adaptations, including lower intensity, shorter duration, and delivery in general hospitals. A total of 16 children with autism spectrum disorder, aged between 25 and 46?months, received approximately 8?h per week one-on-one Early Start Denver Model intervention. After 6?months of intervention, the children showed great improvements in language and overall cognitive functioning and reduced symptom severity in communication and play. This study suggests that directly delivering the Early Start Denver Model in community-based hospitals may be an effective intervention, which can make more young children with autism spectrum disorder in Taiwan access the Early Start Denver Model service.

Short-term low-intensity Early Start Denver Model program implemented in regional hospitals in Northern Taiwan / Chung-Hsin CHIANG in Autism, 27-3 (April 2023)

This interdisciplinary model is suitable for the Taiwanese public health system. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of an Early Start Denver Model program with adaptation, including a lower intensity, shorter duration, and delivery in general hospitals by multidisciplinary professionals. A quasi-experimental study with pre-, post-intervention, and 6-month follow-up was conducted. Forty-five young children with autism spectrum disorder, aged 2-4?years, were grouped into the Early Start Denver Model and control (the usual community treatment) groups. The Early Start Denver Model group received 6?months of one-on-one intervention for approximately 8-9?h per week. Compared with the control group, the Early Start Denver Model group showed greater improvements in overall development quotient and nonverbal development quotient from pre- to post-intervention, but these differences (a Group-by-Time interaction) did not sustain at the 6-month follow-up. Being mindful of some potential threats to internal validity associated with clinical trial designs and implementation, this study provides preliminary evidence to support the effectiveness of the Early Start Denver Model intervention in regional general hospital settings in the context of Han-Chinese-mainly culture.Lay AbstractThe Early Start Denver Model is an evidence-based early intervention program for young and very young children with autism. This interdisciplinary model is used by many types of professionals, such as psychologists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, early child special educators, and paraprofessionals, as well as by parents. Most previous studies on the Early Start Denver Model were conducted in the West, and there are scarce studies on the topics of generalization in culture and countries outside the Western world. In this study, we evaluated the effect of the Early Start Denver Model with some adaptations, including a lower intensity, shorter duration, and delivery in regional general hospitals in Northern Taiwan. In total, 45 young children with autism, aged 2-4?years, were divided into the Early Start Denver Model and community-based control groups. The children in the Early Start Denver Model group received one-on-one intervention for approximately 8-9?h per week for 6?months. The results revealed that compared with the control group, the Early Start Denver Model group showed greater gains in overall development ability and nonverbal development ability from pre- to post-intervention. However, these differences did not sustain at the 6-month follow-up after the completion of the intervention. Being mindful of some caveats in trial designs, this study provides preliminary evidence to support the effectiveness of the Early Start Denver Model intervention in the regional general hospital settings in the context of Han-Chinese-mainly culture. Our findings can provide helpful information to stakeholders and policymakers of early intervention service systems for children with autism in Taiwan, as well as in Asian countries.
