Daina M. Tagavi; Hannah R. Benavidez; Taylor C. Kalmus; Carlyn C. Perryman; Wendy L. Stone – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Little is known about the attributional patterns of caregivers of autistic children, particularly in relation to caregivers of children with other developmental or behavioral disorders. This study examined differences in caregiver attributions of child behavior between three groups: toddlers with (1) Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or ASD concerns;…

Muharib, Reem; Walker, Virginia L.; Alresheed, Fahad; Gerow, Stephanie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
In this review, we summarized and meta-analyzed 35 single-case intervention studies that involved the use of multiple schedules of reinforcement with 78 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Based on Tau-U calculations, multiple schedules of reinforcement produced an overall large effect for appropriate communicative…

Vargas Londono, Fabiola; Lim, Nataly; Barnett, Monique R.; Hampton, Lauren H.; Falcomata, Terry S. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Parents are the primary source of support for their children and can become principal interventionists for preventing and treating their child's challenging behavior. Yet, providing adequate and adapted training for culturally diverse families can be difficult due to the increase of international migration and the diversity of languages spoken…

Whitney, Rondalyn Varney – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
The occupational role of a mother parenting a child with developmental and socially disruptive conduct is unique. How mothers express their experiences is poorly explored in the literature. This study aims to better understand mothers' description of their unique experiences in order to better inform interventions. Using a narrative inquiry…

Löytömäki, Joanna; Laakso, Marja-Leena; Huttunen, Kerttu – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Children with neurodevelopmental disorders often have social-emotional and behavioural difficulties. The present study explored these difficulties in children (n = 50, aged 6-10 years) with autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and developmental language disorder. Parents, teachers and therapists evaluated children's…

Gandhi, Anusha; Zhou, Dihong; Alaimo, Joseph; Chon, Edwin; Fountain, Michael D.; Elsea, Sarah H. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Caregivers of preschool and elementary school age children with Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS), MBD5-associated neurodevelopmental disorder (MAND), and Pitt-Hopkins syndrome (PTHS) were surveyed to assess sleep disturbance and to identify disorder-specific sleep problems. Because of overlapping features of these rare genetic neurodevelopmental…

Ellis Weismer, Susan; Rubenstein, Eric; Wiggins, Lisa; Durkin, Maureen S. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The goal of this preliminary investigation was to compare demographic and clinical characteristics in a sample of children with likely Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder (SCD) (N = 117) to those in children with possible (N = 118) and some (N = 126) SCD traits, other developmental delay (DD) (N = 91) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (N =…

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder characterised by neurodevelopmental delays, hyperphagia, difficulties with social communication and challenging behaviours. Individuals require intensive supervision from caregivers which may negatively affect caregiver quality of life. This study used data collected in the Australasian PWS…

Lory, Catharine; Mason, Rose A.; Davis, John L.; Wang, Danni; Kim, So Yeon; Gregori, Emily; David, Marie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Challenging behavior is a significant barrier in accessing the general education curriculum for students with developmental disabilities. This necessitates the identification of evidence-based practices for addressing challenging behavior in inclusive settings. The purpose of our meta-analysis is to (a) quantify the magnitude of effect of…

MacDuffie, Katherine E.; Munson, Jeffrey; Greenson, Jessica; Ward, Teresa M.; Rogers, Sally J.; Dawson, Geraldine; Estes, Annette – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Sleep problems are prevalent in children with neurodevelopmental disabilities and are associated with the expression of restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs). Children (n = 57) with autism spectrum disorder (ASD, n = 38) or developmental delay (DD, n = 19) participated in multiple assessments of intellectual ability, ASD symptoms, and RRBs (3…

Lambert, Joseph M.; Parikh, Naomi; Stankiewicz, Kristen C.; Houchins-Juarez, Nealetta J.; Morales, Vivian A.; Sweeney, Erin M.; Milam, Molly E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Challenging behaviors involving food are common for individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and often lead to obesity and other chronic health conditions. Efforts to decrease these behaviors, such as isolation during meals and strict monitoring of food consumption, can be stigmatizing. To decrease the food stealing of a 7 year-old girl with…

Gilchrist, Kristin H.; Hegarty-Craver, Meghan; Christian, Robert B.; Grego, Sonia; Kies, Ashley C.; Wheeler, Anne C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Repetitive sensory motor behaviors are a direct target for clinical treatment and a potential treatment endpoint for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. By removing the burden associated with video annotation or direct observation, automated detection of stereotypy would allow for longer term monitoring in ecologic…

Muharib, Reem; Alrasheed, Fahad; Ninci, Jennifer; Walker, Virginia L.; Voggt, Ashley P. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Functional communication training (FCT) is an evidence-based practice used to mitigate challenging behavior by increasing functional communication skills. To increase the practicality and feasibility of FCT in natural settings, thinning schedules of reinforcement are typically programmed following FCT. In this review, we meta-analyzed 28 studies…

Monlux, Katerina D.; Pollard, Joy S.; Bujanda Rodriguez, Arlette Y.; Hall, Scott S. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Telehealth is increasingly being employed to extend the reach of behavior analytic interventions to families of children with developmental disorders who exhibit problem behaviors. In this preliminary study, we examined whether function-based behavior analytic interventions could be delivered via telehealth over 12 weeks to decrease problem…

Shaffer, Rebecca C.; Wink, Logan K.; Ruberg, Jennifer; Pittenger, Alexis; Adams, Ryan; Sorter, Michael; Manning, Patricia; Erickson, Craig A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and/or intellectual and developmental disabilities (DD) often struggle with behavior management and emotion-regulation (ER). In this manuscript, we describe the results of a chart review examining a group treatment program designed to address ER deficits in youth with ASD and/or DD. The intensive…
