Titre : Children with autism spectrum disorder and social skills groups at school: a randomized trial comparing intervention approach and peer composition Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Connie KASARI, Auteur ; Michelle DEAN, Auteur ; Mark KRETZMANN, Auteur ; Wendy SHIH, Auteur ; Felice ORLICH, Auteur ; Rondalyn WHITNEY, Auteur ; Rebecca LANDA, Auteur ; Catherine LORD, Auteur ; Bryan KING, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.171-179 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Social skills groups autism spectrum disorders inclusion peer relationships teacher child relationship social networks Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Peer relationships improve for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in clinic-based social skills groups but rarely generalize to real world contexts. This study compares child outcomes of two social skills interventions conducted in schools with children in Kindergarten through fifth grade. Method Children with ASD were randomized to one of two interventions that varied on group composition (mixed typical and ASD vs. all ASD or social difficulties) and intervention approach (didactic SKILLS based vs. activity-based ENGAGE groups). Interventions were implemented at school for 8 weeks (16 sessions) with an 8-week follow-up. Innovative measures of peer nomination and playground peer engagement, as well as teacher reports of child behavior problems and teacher–child relationship were analyzed for 137 children with ASD across four sites. Results On the primary outcome of social network connections from the peer nomination measure, there was no main effect of treatment, but there were moderator effects. Children with low teacher–child closeness or high conflict improved more in their social connections if they received the SKILLS intervention, whereas children with higher teacher–child closeness improved more if they received the ENGAGE intervention. Only two secondary outcome measures yielded significant effects of treatment. Children in the SKILLS groups increased peer engagement and decreased isolation during recess. Child behavior problems and teacher–child closeness moderated peer engagement such that children with higher behavior problems and lower closeness benefitted more from SKILLS groups. Conclusions These findings suggest that social skills groups conducted at school can affect both peer engagement during recess as well as peer acceptability. Child characteristics and teacher–child relationship prior to intervention yield important information on who might benefit from a specific social skills intervention.

However, research indicates that scale-up of EBPs poses challenges. This study identifies perceived variables linked to effective statewide scale-up of EBPs in special education by exploring implementation climate and leadership across special education organization types (e.g., schools, districts, and regional consortiums). A simultaneous QUAL + QUAN mixed methods design was employed with the primary function of convergence and triangulation. Data were drawn from focus groups with 30 special educators and a statewide survey completed by 656 school personnel in one U.S. state. In general, perceptions of implementation climate and leadership are weak in special education organizations, with strengths at regional levels focused on special education and increased challenges at the school and district levels. Implications for practice and future research are identified.

Titre : Friendship interventions and measurements in children with ASD: A systematic review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ya-Chih CHANG, Auteur ; Michelle DEAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101947 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder Friendships Social skills Peer relationships Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Friendships are vital to children's social well-being and overall development, and they can also serve as a protector factor from peer victimization and bullying. For children with ASD, friendship development can be an area of challenge. Friendship interventions may help children and adolescents with ASD in developing the skills for making and keeping friends. Method This systematic review examined friendship interventions for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It also explored measures of friendship skills in children with ASD. Twenty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria: (a) experimental intervention studies focused on improving friendships of individuals with ASD, (b) the measurement of friendship outcomes, and (c) strong or acceptable methodological ratings. Results Fifteen unique interventions were tested across the 27 studies. Thirteen interventions included strategies specifically focused on improving (making and maintaining) friendships in the participants with ASD. Friendship interventions were primarily focused on behaviorally based social skills building and varied in implementation settings. Friendship measures included the use of parent reports, child and adolescent surveys and questionnaires, peer nominations, and sociometric ratings. Conclusion The results highlighted the benefit of including targeted friendship-building strategies in social and friendship interventions and the value of multiple perspectives when measuring friendship. The findings of the study can influence how families and practitioners collaborate to support children and adolescents with ASD in the development and maintenance of their friendships.

OAKES, Auteur ; Wendy SHIH, Auteur ; Michelle DEAN, Auteur ; Tristram SMITH, Auteur ; Felice ORLICH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.171-181 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Little is known about how internalizing symptoms in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affect family outcomes, despite the high rates of internalizing disorders in ASD and the dynamic relationships among child, parent, and family variables. We evaluated the predictive value of internalizing symptoms in 69 adolescents with ASD and average-range cognitive abilities on family impact. In addition, we examined the correspondence between parent and child symptom ratings. Results indicated that internalizing symptoms predict family impact above IQ and externalizing symptoms. Depression (but not anxiety) predicted more positive family functioning, and parents rated more internalizing symptoms than adolescents. The results are contrary to our initial predictions, and we offer several explanations for this difference. Differences between parent and child ratings of internalizing symptoms are also explored.

MANDELL, Auteur ; Connie KASARI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.694-703 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism community-based participatory research qualitative research school-based intervention urban environments Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study used qualitative methods to evaluate the perceptions of parents, educators, and school administrators in three large, urban school districts (Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Rochester) regarding services for children with autism spectrum disorder within the context of limited district resources. Facilitators followed a standard discussion guide that contained open-ended questions regarding participants’ views on strengths and limitations of existing services and contextual factors that would facilitate or inhibit the process of introducing new interventions. Three primary themes were identified: (1) tension between participant groups (teachers and paraprofessionals, staff and administration, teachers and parents, special education and general education teachers), (2) necessity of autism spectrum disorder–specific and behavioral training for school personnel, and (3) desire for a school culture of accepting difference. These themes highlight the importance of developing trainings that are feasible to deliver on a large scale, that focus on practical interventions, and that enhance communication and relationships of school personnel with one another and with families.
