Developing Social Communication Skills Using Dual First-Person Video Recording Glasses: A Novel Intervention for Adolescents with Autism / Sarah HURWITZ in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-3 (March 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-3 (March 2020) . - p.904-915 Titre : Developing Social Communication Skills Using Dual First-Person Video Recording Glasses: A Novel Intervention for Adolescents with Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sarah HURWITZ, Auteur ; Tybytha RYAN, Auteur ; Daniel P KENNEDY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.904-915 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Conversation  Multiple baseline design  Social skills  Video recording glasses  Video self-modeling Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Adolescents with autism often experience pronounced difficulties with social communication, and novel interventions designed to improve core abilities are greatly needed. This study examines if providing immediate video feedback, an extension of video self-modeling, can aid adolescents with autism to self-identify strengths and irregularities from their social interactions. Using multiple baseline design across four participants, individuals engaged in naturalistic conversations wearing video recording glasses. During the intervention, videos were reviewed immediately and participants recognized when they were not following typical social-communicative convention. Based on observational data coded from videos, all four participants modified their behavior during subsequent conversations. Although adolescents with autism may hypothetically know to behave, viewing themselves on video may provide practical cues to support social insight and behavioral change.

Joint attention revisited: Finding strengths among children with autism / Sarah HURWITZ in Autism, 20-5 (July 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 20-5 (July 2016) . - p.538-550 Titre : Joint attention revisited: Finding strengths among children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sarah HURWITZ, Auteur ; Linda R. WATSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.538-550 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  autism spectrum disorder  joint attention  language  matching Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Differences in joint attention are prominent for some children with autism and are often used as an indicator of the disorder. This study examined the joint attention competencies of young children with autism who demonstrated joint attention ability and compared them to children with developmental delays. A total of 40 children with autism and developmental delays were matched pairwise based on mental and chronological age. Videos of children engaging in play were coded for the frequency and forms (eye contact, gestures, affect, etc.) of joint attention. Additionally, concurrent language was compared among children with autism (N?=?32) by their joint attention ability. Children with autism spectrum disorder entered into joint attention significantly less often than children with developmental delays, but once engaged used the forms of joint attention similarly. For the matched pairs, there were no differences in language, but the children with autism who used joint attention had significantly better language than children with autism who did not (even after controlling for mental age). There is a group of young children with autism who can use joint attention but do so at lower frequencies than children with developmental delays. Possible reasons include difficulty disengaging attention and limited intrinsic social motivation to share. Adult persistence is recommended to encourage joint attention.

Special education for students with autism during the COVID-19 pandemic: "Each day brings new challenges" / Sarah HURWITZ in Autism, 26-4 (May 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 26-4 (May 2022) . - p.889-899 Titre : Special education for students with autism during the COVID-19 pandemic: "Each day brings new challenges" Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sarah HURWITZ, Auteur ; Blaine GARMAN-MCCLAINE, Auteur ; Kane CARLOCK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.889-899 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  Autistic Disorder  Covid-19  Education, Special  Humans  Pandemics  Students  COVID-19 pandemic  Individualized Education Program  Individuals with Disabilities Education Act/free appropriate public education  autistic/autism spectrum disorder  evidence-based practice  implementation science  special education  teachers Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) disrupted how special educators provided supports and services for students with autism spectrum disorder. School closures and the related pivoting between learning modalities (i.e. virtual, hybrid, and face-to-face) were difficult for all students, but especially for students with autism, who rely on routine and require individualized instruction. In this study, we surveyed 106 special education teachers, behavior specialists, and speech pathologists who work with autistic students to learn about how they adapted instruction to comply with the complex social distancing rules and changing expectations of the pandemic. Participants reported "making the best out of a bad situation" and "constantly using 'trial & error' to find the best way for our students to eLearn." They emphasized the importance of collaboration with parents, who helped deliver intervention and monitor progress across settings. They made alterations to Individualized Education Programs, by adding individualized contingency learning plans, adjusting service minutes, and sometimes eliminating social goals. Participants were surprised that while students with more intense needs struggled, others actually preferred virtual instruction. This raises concerns for what will happen in the future, when social expectations resume. Despite the overwhelming challenges posed by COVID-19, participants demonstrated remarkable resiliency and an innovative ability to adapt instruction.

The Endrew Decision’s Impact on the Education of Students With Autism: Implications for Practice and Policy / Sarah HURWITZ in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 35-3 (September 2020)

DECKER, Auteur ; Ilana L. LINDER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.131-142 Mots-clés : autism  Endrew v. Douglas Co.  education law  IDEA  FAPE Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In 2017, the U.S. Supreme Court provided a ruling regarding what constitutes an appropriate education for students with disabilities in Endrew v. Douglas County. The case concerned a student with autism, and we use it to offer schools and families autism-related recommendations for practice and policy. We analyze the legal history of the educational benefit standard prior to Endrew and what has occurred in the year after the Court?s decision. Endrew may not dramatically alter education for students who are progressing alongside their peers, but it elevates expectations for those like Endrew, who are in self-contained classrooms or are not making grade-level progress. We suggest that schools prioritize behavior management to facilitate academic and functional progress, and theorize that there may be an increase in the number of families requesting evidence-based practices, like Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and placement in alternative settings like specialized charter and private schools.
