SLOCUM, Auteur ; Taylor COOK, Auteur ; Mindy SCHEITHAUER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.202775 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Profound autism  Behavioral intervention  ABA  Intellectual disability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The intersection of autism, low cognitive ability, and low adaptive skills increases risk for behavioral concerns that impact safety, limit independence, and lead to decrements in quality of life for a child and their family. Despite known differences in service needs between autistic youth with moderate to profound intellectual disability (AS + mID) and those without (AS), it is not yet known whether there are differences in the effectiveness of interventions to address behavioral concerns between these groups. The present study is an exploratory analysis of whether differences exist with respect to behavioral presentation at treatment onset, behavioral procedures needed for a therapeutic reduction, and intervention outcomes. This secondary analysis of a chart review examined 40 clients (22 AS + mID, 18 AS Group) who received intensive outpatient services for severe behavioral concerns between 2020 and 2023. Although no differences in intervention outcome emerged, individuals categorized with AS + mID had a significantly higher likelihood of intrusive procedures within their final treatment package compared to the AS group. There were also nuanced differences in behavioral presentation at the outset of treatment. Specifically, several individuals categorized with AS + mID displayed alarmingly high baseline rates of targeted behavior to a degree not observed in the AS group. These findings suggest that although behavioral intervention may achieve comparable outcomes between groups, additional research is needed in this subpopulation to decrease the need for intrusive procedures.
