Amanda Leigh Duncan; Hannah Keene; Collin Shepley – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions have been described as culturally responsive and family-friendly interventions, with research demonstrating improvements in children's development when receiving these services. Given the child-directed nature of Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions and the intervention's…

Deanna Swain; Ji Eun Han; Hallie Brown; Catherine Lord; Sally Rogers; Annette Estes; Connie Kasari; Andrew Pickles; So Hyun Kim – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
Naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions target developmentally appropriate skills in young children with autism spectrum disorders using behavioral techniques in naturalistic interactions. Naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions demonstrate strong empirical support and frequently utilize caregiver training of intervention…

Anderson, Laura K. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disability affecting individuals across their entire lifespan. Autistic individuals have differences from nonautistic people (sometimes called allistic or neurotypical people) in social skills, communication, and atypical interests and/or repetitive behaviors. Approximately 1 in 59 children are born…

Elizabeth H. Kushner; Nicole Hendrix; Nailah Islam; Katherine Pickard – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions are an empirically supported intervention approach for young autistic children. Despite the prevalence of disruptive behaviors among autistic children, most manualized caregiver-mediated naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions include limited formal guidance on when and how to manage…

McDaniel, Jena; Yoder, Paul; Crandall, Madison; Millan, Maria Estefania; Ardel, Christina Mich; Gengoux, Grace W.; Hardan, Antonio Y. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
A pivotal response treatment package consisting of clinician-delivered and parent-implemented strategies was recently found to be effective in improving language and social communication deficits in children with autism spectrum disorder. Reciprocal vocal contingency, an automated measure of vocal reciprocity, may provide stronger and…

Depression is common among autistic youth and is associated with worse quality of life in this group. Despite significant need for high-quality efficacious treatments, there has been very limited research on interventions for depression in autistic youth. This single-arm pilot study examined the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a novel,…

The breadth of available non-pharmacological interventions for autistic children, with varying evidence for efficacy summarised in multiple systematic reviews, creates challenges for parents, practitioners, and policymakers in navigating the research evidence. In this article, we report the findings of an umbrella review of 58 systematic reviews…

Pickard, Katherine; Burrell, T. Lindsey; Brasher, Susan; Buckley, Derianne; Gillespie, Scott; Sharp, William; Scahill, Lawrence – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Moderate feeding problems affect many children with autism spectrum disorder and often co-occur with disruptive mealtime behaviors. Although parent-mediated interventions have shown promise to support feeding problems, research has primarily occurred within randomized controlled trials when delivered by highly trained clinicians in specialty…

Muharib, Reem; Dowdy, Art; Rajaraman, Adithyan; Jessel, Joshua – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Functional communication training, an intervention for challenging behavior rooted in principles of applied behavior analysis, has copious empirical support dating back to the mid-1980s for autistic individuals. Recently, there has been a concerted effort to thin reinforcement delivery during functional communication training using…

Hampton, Lauren H.; Sandbank, Micheal P. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Professionals who primarily deliver services to children on the autism spectrum employ a range of techniques and supports that are colloquially known as applied behavior analysis therapy. The landscape of evidence supporting interventions for children on the autism spectrum has vastly transformed in the last decade. A substantial, relatively…

Contaldo, Annarita; Colombi, Costanza; Pierotti, Caterina; Masoni, Patrizia; Muratori, Filippo – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Several studies have shown the efficacy and effectiveness of the Early Start Denver Model, both in university and in community-based settings. However, a limited number of studies have investigated predictors of outcomes. In this study, we examined outcomes in 32 children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder after 1 year of community-based…

Parladé, Meaghan V.; Weinstein, Allison; Garcia, Dainelys; Rowley, Amelia M.; Ginn, Nicole C.; Jent, Jason F. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy is an empirically based, behavioral parent training program for young children exhibiting disruptive behaviors. Parent--Child Interaction Therapy shows promise for treating disruptive behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorder. Treatment processes (i.e. treatment length and homework compliance), parenting…

Waddington, Hannah; Reynolds, Jess E; Macaskill, Ella; Curtis, Sally; Taylor, Lauren J; Whitehouse, Andrew JO – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Naturalistic developmental behavioural interventions are promising approaches for young children with, or suspected of having, autism spectrum disorder. Joint attention, symbolic play, engagement and regulation intervention (JASPER) is a well-researched naturalistic developmental behavioural intervention but, to date, no reviews have specifically…

Estes, Annette; Yoder, Paul; McEachin, John; Hellemann, Gerhard; Munson, Jeffrey; Greenson, Jessica; Rocha, Marie; Gardner, Elizabeth; Rogers, Sally J. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
This study examined whether style or intensity of child-focused intervention had a secondary effect on parental sense of efficacy and whether these effects varied by baseline level of parent stress. We randomized 87 children with autism, age 13-30 months, into one of four conditions: 15 versus 25 intervention hours crossed with 12 months of Early…

Tarver, Joanne; Pearson, Effie; Edwards, Georgina; Shirazi, Aryana; Potter, Liana; Malhi, Priya; Waite, Jane – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Anxiety is a common co-occurring condition in autism and impacts quality of life of autistic individuals and their families; autistic individuals who speak few or no words represent an under-researched group. This qualitative study aimed to understand more about parental recognition and management of anxiety in autistic individuals who speak few…
