Assessing Behavioral Flexibility in Individuals With Developmental Disabilities / Vanessa A. GREEN in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 21-4 (Winter 2006)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 21-4 (Winter 2006) . - p.230-236 Titre : Assessing Behavioral Flexibility in Individuals With Developmental Disabilities Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Vanessa A. GREEN, Auteur ; Giulio E. LANCIONI, Auteur ; Jeff SIGAFOOS, Auteur ; Keenan A. PITUCH, Auteur ; Jonathan ITCHON, Auteur ; Mark O'REILLY, Auteur Année de publication : 2006 Article en page(s) : p.230-236 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Researchers associate an insistence on sameness or lack of behavioral flexibility with autism and Asperger syndrome, but few studies have sought to identify specific situations in which individuals insist on sameness. Along these lines, we developed the Behavioral Flexibility Rating Scale (BFRS) and conducted an Internet survey of parents of individuals with autism, Asperger syndrome, and Down syndrome. A total of 726 respondents submitted usable returns during the 3-month survey period. Parent report indicated that individuals with Asperger syndrome showed the most problems in relation to the insistence on sameness as measured by the BFRS, followed by individuals with autism and Down syndrome, respectively. When diagnosis was controlled, there were no gender or age differences. This preliminary investigation suggests that the BFRS may be useful in identifying specific situations associated with an insistence on sameness. Identifying specific situations in which individuals insist on sameness or show a lack of behavioral flexibility may be useful in planning interventions focused on promoting greater behavioral flexibility.

Factor structure of the Behavior Flexibility Rating Scale (BFRS) / Keenan A. PITUCH in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 1-1 (January/March 2007)

This study was designed to assess the factor structure of this scale for a sample of 968 individuals with autism, Asperger's syndrome, and Down syndrome. To establish factorial validity, an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted with half of the sample, with a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) conducted with the remaining cases to cross-validate the model obtained with the EFA. The factor analyses supported the presence of two factors—Interruption/Disruption and Position/Location. However, further analysis suggested the presence of a third factor, Interpersonal Mishaps, for the Asperger's syndrome group.
