Anxiety relates to classroom executive function problems in students with ASD, but not ADHD / Mary F. S. DIECKHAUS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 82 (April 2021)

EF is strongly related to academic outcomes, but the relationship between anxiety and EF in the classroom has not been examined. Method We explored this relationship in two neurodevelopmental disorders, autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), in order to evaluate the specificity of associations between parent-reported anxiety and teacher-reported EF deficits in the classroom setting. Results Greater anxiety was associated with more classroom EF-related problems in the ASD group, but not in the ADHD group. Item-level analysis of classroom EF problems in the ASD group revealed associations between anxiety and difficulties with task initiation, attention, and completion. Anxiety was not related to total or item-level teacher-reported EF problems in the ADHD group. Conclusion Further investigation into disorder-specific mechanisms that lead to the manifestation of anxiety symptoms may pave the way for more effective treatment and favorable academic outcome. Anxiety is related to poor EF in the classroom for students with ASD, which has implications for treating anxiety to promote positive academic outcomes and incorporating EF supports and training into treatment models for anxiety. The lack of association between anxiety and EF for students with ADHD was unexpected and warrants further exploration.

Assessment of Sesame Street online autism resources: Impacts on parental implicit and explicit attitudes toward children with autism / Cheryl L. DICKTER in Autism, 25-1 (January 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 25-1 (January 2021) . - p.114-124 Titre : Assessment of Sesame Street online autism resources: Impacts on parental implicit and explicit attitudes toward children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Cheryl L.

A website developed by Sesame Street containing information about autism and resources for families was distributed to parents of children with autism (n?=?473) and parents of children without autism (n?=?707). Pre- and post-test measures of implicit bias toward children with autism; explicit attitudes and knowledge about autism; and parenting confidence, strain, and stigma were completed before and after the website was presented. Results indicated that parents of children with autism showed less implicit bias compared with those of non-autistic children during the pre-test, but the groups did not differ at the post-test. Parents without autistic children and those with more negative explicit attitudes showed a greater reduction in implicit bias from the pre- to the post-test. In addition, for parents of children with autism, a more positive change in explicit attitudes and increased knowledge from the pre- to the post-test was associated with more empowerment at the post-test. Together, our findings suggest that the online educational resources can reduce implicit bias against children with autism and help mitigate some of the psychological issues associated with parenting children with autism.

Leveraging technology to make parent training more accessible: Randomized trial of in-person versus online executive function training for parents of autistic children / Lauren KENWORTHY in Autism, 27-3 (April 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 27-3 (April 2023) . - p.616-628 Titre : Leveraging technology to make parent training more accessible: Randomized trial of in-person versus online executive function training for parents of autistic children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lauren KENWORTHY, Auteur ; Deb CHILDRESS, Auteur ; Anna Chelsea ARMOUR, Auteur ; Alyssa VERBALIS, Auteur ; Anqing ZHANG, Auteur ; Mary TROXEL, Auteur ; Rebecca HANDSMAN, Auteur ; Kelly KOCHER, Auteur ; Yetta MYRICK, Auteur ; Monica WERNER, Auteur ; Katie C ALEXANDER, Auteur ; Lynn CANNON, Auteur ; Laura G. ANTHONY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.616-628 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism,competency,executive function,parent training,randomized controlled trial,strain Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This randomized trial compared the first online parent training program for an evidence-supported executive function intervention for autism to in-person parent training with the same dose and content. Parents of autistic children (8-12?years-old; Full Scale IQ above 70) were randomized to in-person (n=51) or online (n=46) training. Training acceptability and feasibility were rated highly by parents, without significant differences between groups. The completion rate was lower for parents in the online versus the in-person training condition, but neither the total time spent with training materials, nor parent and child outcomes differed by condition. Parents reported that training resulted in a reduction in caregiver strain (Cohen?s d=0.66) and modest improvements in child flexibility, emotional control and global EF, but not planning and organization. Dose of parent training had a significant positive effect on child planning and organization problems. These findings did not support the hypothesized superiority of online to in-person training, but they did indicate online is as effective as in-person training at helping parents learn to improve their autistic children?s EF abilities and reduce their own experience of parenting strain. Implications included increased access to training for parents who experience barriers to receiving in-person care.Trial Registration: clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT02708069Lay AbstractThis study compared the first online parent training program for executive function intervention for autism to in-person parent training on the same content. Participants were parents of autistic children, who were between 8 and 12?years of age and did not have intellectual disability. Parents were randomized to the in-person (n=51) or online (n=46) training conditions. Both trainings were developed with stakeholder (parents and autistic people) guidance. In this trial, most parents reported that they liked both trainings and that they were able to implement what they learned with their children. Parents in both groups spent equivalent amounts of time (about 8 hours) with the training materials, but while 94% of parents in the in-person training attended both parent trainings, only 59% of parents in the online group completed all 10 online modules. Parents reported that it was difficult to stay motivated to complete the online trainings over the 10-week trial. Parent and child outcomes did not differ significantly between the groups. Overall, parents reported that the trainings resulted in a reduction in their own parenting strain and improvements in their child?s flexibility, emotional control, and global executive function, but not planning and organization. These findings indicated brief in-person and online training can help parents learn to support and improve their autistic children?s executive function abilities, reducing their own experience of parenting strain. The finding that the online training was equivalent to the in-person trainings is important because it is accessible to parents who encounter barriers to in-person care.
