Titre : Brief report: Does “healthy” family functioning look different for families who have a child with autism? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Katherine M. WALTON, Auteur ; Gabrielle TIEDE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101527 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Enmeshment Family functioning Parents ASD Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background For families of typically developing children, extremes of family cohesion (enmeshed and disengaged) and flexibility (rigid and chaotic) are associated with negative outcomes (Olson, 2011). Some work suggests that this may not be true for families of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; Altiere & Von Kluge, 2009). Specifically, regimented daily routines (increased rigidity) and highly involved caregivers (increased enmeshment) might theoretically be associated with positive outcomes. Objectives This study examined whether families who have a child with ASD report different family dynamics than families with typically developing children, and if these dynamics are equally predictive of outcomes for both groups. Method Regression-based interaction analyses using data from an online survey (n?=?235) were used to examine how diagnostic group (typically-developing child or child with ASD) affected the relationships between elements of family functioning and parent outcomes of happiness, depression, and satisfaction with family life. Results Higher parent-reported enmeshment was associated with decreased parent-reported happiness in typical families only; these variables were unrelated in families with a child with ASD. In addition, the relationship between disengagement and parent happiness was marginally weaker in the ASD group. Other scales (rigid and chaotic) exhibited similar relationships with family outcomes across both diagnostic groups. Conclusion In alignment with previous findings (Altiere & Von Kluge, 2009), elevated levels of enmeshment were not predictive of poorer outcomes in families of children with ASD. There is a need to critically consider whether behaviors traditionally thought of as “enmeshed” may represent different, more adaptive support strategies for families who have a child with ASD.

Titre : Early childhood special education teachers’ use of evidence-based practices with children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jaclyn M. DYNIA, Auteur ; Katherine M. WALTON, Auteur ; Matthew E. BROCK, Auteur ; Gabrielle TIEDE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101606 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Evidence-based practice ASD Preschool Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Past research shows a gap between identification of evidence-based practices (EBP) for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and adoption of those EBP by classroom teachers. However, few studies have examined EBP use in preschool classrooms. Method We surveyed 45 preschool teachers serving children with ASD regarding their intervention priorities, instructional approaches, confidence, and desire for professional development. Open-ended responses regarding instructional approaches were coded by the research team for whether they reflected use of specified identified EBP. Results Communication, social skills, and challenging behavior were rated as the top priorities for intervention. Nearly all teachers reported using at least one EBP. The most commonly reported EBP included visual supports, behavioral strategies, and social narratives. Nearly half of teachers reported using sensory-related strategies, which are not EBP. Surprisingly, teacher confidence and belief that they were using EBP were not significantly related to desire for professional development. Conclusions These findings provide insight into the research-to-practice gap for educating young children with ASD, and have the potential to help teacher educators refine their efforts to close this gap.

Titre : Enhancing stakeholder roles in autism early interventions in the United States: A stakeholder-driven research agenda Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Katherine M. WALTON, Auteur ; Alayna R. BOROWY, Auteur ; Rachel A. GORDON, Auteur ; Allison L. WAINER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1120-1134 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : early intervention neurodiversity research agenda stakeholder consultation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This article outlines a stakeholder-created research agenda to guide future early intervention research for autistic children. We collaborated with 10 autism service providers, 10 parents of individuals with autism, and 10 autistic people across a total of 18 small group and 2 inter-group meetings occurring over 2?years. Together, we synthesized results from (1) these stakeholder workshops and (2) a survey completed by 237 autistic adults, autism providers, caregivers, and autism researchers in the United States. The finalized research agenda includes (1) Guiding Principles, (2) Research Priorities, and (3) Systems Implications. The full version of the early intervention autism research agenda is available in Supplemental Material. In this article, we summarize the main points of the research agenda and discuss unique themes highlighted by stakeholders in considering early autism intervention research. Finally, we highlight the need to include stakeholders in decision-making and consultant positions throughout the research process to align future work most directly and optimally with the goals and needs of the autism community. We have gathered guidance directly from our stakeholders and experiences with Project Stakeholders Engaging in Early Intervention Research (STEER) into a researcher workbook which we hope may facilitate these efforts. This workbook is available in Supplemental Material. Lay abstract In this article, we outline a stakeholder-driven research agenda to guide future early intervention research for children with autism. Our research team collaborated with autism service providers, parents of individuals with autism, and autistic people to create this research agenda by (1) conducting workshops with community members and (2) distributing a survey to a larger number of community members around the country. The finalized research agenda includes (1) Guiding Principles for current and future research, (2) Research Priorities focused on early intervention for individuals with autism, and (3) Systems Implications to consider in future clinical, research, and policy efforts for early intervention. The full version of the research agenda is available in Supplemental Material. This article lists the main points of the research agenda and discusses unique themes highlighted by the community members. One main conclusion is that researchers need to include community members in decision-making and consultant positions throughout the research process to best meet the needs of the broader autism community. We have created a researcher workbook which we hope may facilitate these community consultation efforts. This workbook is available in Supplemental Material.

WALTON, Auteur ; Brooke R. INGERSOLL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.687-698 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Fast-mapping Joint attention Vocabulary Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Typically developing toddlers accurately follow an adult's gaze learn object labels. However, children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) mis-map new words to their own focus of attention. Children with ASD and typical development participated in three word learning conditions. In the follow-in condition, the adult labeled an object which was the focus of the child's attention. In the redirecting condition, the adult labeled an object which was the focus of their own attention. In the orienting cue condition, the adult used a verbal cue to attract the child's attention, then labeled an object which was the focus of their own attention. Typically developing children learned receptive labels in all conditions. Children with ASD mis-mapped words to their own focus of attention during redirecting trials, but showed a trend toward correct receptive mapping during orienting cue trials. During expressive trials, both groups were most likely to map successfully during follow-in trials and least likely to map successfully during redirecting trials. Using a verbal orienting cue may help children with ASD learn new words. Following a child's focus of attention may confer vocabulary learning benefits for both children with ASD and children with typical development during expressive vocabulary learning tasks.

Titre : Improving Social Skills in Adolescents and Adults with Autism and Severe to Profound Intellectual Disability: A Review of the Literature Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Katherine M. WALTON, Auteur ; Brooke R. INGERSOLL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.594-615 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Social skills Intellectual disability Intervention Adults Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Social skills are important treatment targets for individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) across the lifespan. However, few treatments are available for adolescents and adults with ASD who also have severe to profound intellectual disability (S/PID). Several social skill interventions have been described that may improve social skills in this population, including video modeling, developmental, peer-mediated, behavioral, and structured teaching interventions. However, significant challenges in research design and methodology exist across these studies. This paper reviews research examining social skill interventions for youth and adults with ASD and S/PID and points out weaknesses and challenges in this literature. We propose a developmental framework of adapting early childhood interventions for use with youth and adults with ASD and S/PID as one starting point for intervention development.
