Parents experience lower quality of life due to the psychological, financial and social challenges of caring for an autistic child. This study aims to identify the independent demographic and social predictors of parents' quality of life, to allocate support to parents who truly need it.

Elopement is a common and dangerous behavior among autistic children. Behavioral treatments can reduce elopement, but most evidence comes from small-N evaluations in specialized settings with strategies varying across studies. The current study compared the efficacy of the caregiver-mediated function-based elopement treatment to parent education…

Roberts, Megan Y.; Sone, Bailey J.; Jones, Maranda; Grauzer, Jeffrey; Sudec, Laura; Stern, Yael S.; Kwok, Elaine; Losh, Molly; Kaat, Aaron – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Coaching parents to use language facilitation strategies improves long-term language outcomes for autistic children. To optimize parent-mediated interventions, more studies need to explore factors that influence parents' learning. This study involved 119 autistic children (18-48 months) and their biological mothers enrolled in a single-site,…

Jurek, Lucie; Leadbitter, Kathy; Falissard, Bruno; Colin, Cyrille; Touzet, Sandrine; Geoffray, Marie-Maude – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
While the effectiveness of parent-mediated interventions in the field of autism spectrum disorder is well documented, information on the experience of parents involved in parent-mediated interventions is limited. We performed a systematic review with qualitative evidence synthesis to explore the experience of parent-mediated interventions in…

Effective support for autistic individuals is lacking in Brazil. Few centres offer services and those that do are limited in therapeutic options and geographical location. Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy is a low-intensity, evidence-based parent-mediated social-communication intervention that may be useful for this scenario. This…

Restricted and repetitive behaviours vary greatly between autistic people. Some are a source of pleasure or create opportunities for learning; others may be detrimental in day-to-day life or cause harm. We have developed, in close collaboration with parents/carers, the Understanding Repetitive Behaviours programme, designed for families of young…

Telehealth is rapidly expanding; however, few studies have investigated hybrid models that include synchronous and asynchronous components. While research recognizes the importance of tailoring interventions to meet individual child needs, we have yet to understand how to tailor interventions to parent characteristics. This study examined how…

A growing body of research suggests that mindfulness-based interventions may be a valuable method for reducing internalizing symptoms in autistic individuals. The current study extends this work using an effectiveness-implementation hybrid type 1 study. In this parallel randomized controlled trial, we examined a novel telehealth intervention for…

Chan, Kevin Ka Shing; Leung, Donald Chi Kin; Fung, Winnie Tsz Wa – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
The present study examined the longitudinal associations of parents' discrimination experiences with children's internalizing and externalizing symptoms among families of autistic children and tested whether these associations would be mediated by parental depression, harsh parenting, and coparenting conflict. On three occasions across 2 years…

How parents support social learning at the preverbal level for toddlers with autism is rarely reported, limiting the field's understanding of factors that may influence early development of social competency. As a central challenge in autism that is resistant to intervention, preverbal social initiating is an important indicator of social…

Frost, Kyle M.; Russell, Kaylin; Ingersoll, Brooke – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Although naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions have a sizable and growing evidence base for supporting the development of children on the autism spectrum, their active ingredients and mechanisms of change are not well understood. This study used qualitative content analysis to better understand the intervention process of a…
