Christopher Lopata; Marcus L. Thomeer; Jonathan D. Rodgers; James P. Donnelly; Jennifer Lodi-Smith – Grantee Submission, 2024
Purpose: A prior randomized trial found a school social intervention yielded significantly better outcomes (social and autism features) immediately following intervention compared to typical school programming (services-as-usual [SAU]) for children on the autism spectrum. In that study, children in the SAU condition subsequently completed a summer…

Ben-Asher, Eliya; Porter, Blaire M.; Roe, Mary Abbe; Mitchell, Mackenzie E.; Church, Jessica A. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Executive function (EF) and social function are both critical skills that continue to develop through adolescence and are strongly predictive of many important life outcomes. Longstanding empirical and theoretical work has suggested that EF shapes social function. However, there is little empirical work on this topic in adolescence, despite both…

I -Jui Lee; Hsiu-Ting Hsu – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) involves social skills deficits, hindering effective communication and meaningful relationships. Prior research indicates that Augmented Reality (AR) games appeal to children with ASD for learning social skills but lack a structured framework and clear instructions for grasping social concepts. Therefore, this…

Sng, Cheong Ying; Carter, Mark; Stephenson, Jennifer – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2022
Difficulties with social conversation can be a direct result of the social skills deficit in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The popularity of hand-held devices and the development of commercial apps has expanded the scope of teaching social skills via this modality. This study extends an earlier pilot study in which a…

MacFarland, Mari C.; Fisher, Marisa H. – Exceptionality, 2021
Many researchers and practitioners cite concerns with maintenance and generalization as a serious issue for individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), although few studies explicitly target performance of behaviors outside training environments. After an initial intervention failed to produce robust generalization outcomes, the present…

Bergmann, Thomas; Birkner, Joana; Sappok, Tanja; Schmidt, Maria – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2021
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are often associated with intellectual disability (ID). ASD-specific group concepts usually focus on people on a high functioning level. The Autism-Competence-Group (AutCom) combines a psycho-educative approach with music and dance/movement interventions in adults with ASD and ID. AutCom includes 16 structured…

Bross, Leslie Ann; Huffman, Jonathan M.; Watson, Emma K.; Wills, Howard P.; Mason, Rose A. – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2021
This study examined the efficacy of an intervention package consisting of small group instruction, online instructional modules, and telecoaching to increase planning skills of eight young adults (ages 17-26) with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other related neurological disorders. Telecoaching sessions used existing video conference platforms…

Jyoti, Vishav; Lahiri, Uttama – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2020
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are characterized by deficits in social communication, partly attributed to the inability to pick up cues from social partners using joint attention (JA) skill. These deficits have cascading adverse effects on language acquisition and the development of cognitive skills. Therapist-mediated JA…

Hume, Kara; Odom, Samuel L.; Steinbrenner, Jessica R.; Smith DaWalt, Leann; Hall, Laura J.; Kraemer, Bonnie; Tomaszewski, Brianne; Brum, Christopher; Szidon, Kate; Bolt, Daniel M. – Exceptional Children, 2022
We tested the efficacy of a comprehensive intervention program designed for high school students across the autism spectrum, the Center on Secondary Education for Students with Autism (CSESA) model, in a cluster randomized control trial involving 60 high schools in three states (California, North Carolina, Wisconsin), with implementation occurring…

Ryan, Grace; Brady, Shelley; Holloway, Jennifer; Lydon, Helena – Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, 2019
The current research evaluates the effectiveness of a behavioral skills training (BST) package used to increase appropriate conversation interactions for six adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Deficits in the area of social skills can become a significant feature for individuals with disabilities and in particular for those with ASD. A…

Barnes, Madalyn; Bernau, Megan; Johnson, Lindsay; Melchert, Jordin; Patek, Madeline; Zebrowski, Kaeleigh; Moser, Christy Szczech – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2019
Numerous research studies have been completed on the topic of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). As individuals with this diagnosis are frequently treated by occupational therapists, this review will focus on research that has been completed on ASD that will provide insights into the understanding and treatment of children on the spectrum.
