Direct linkMatson, Johnny L.; Kozlowski, Alison M.; Fitzgerald, Mary E.; Sipes, Megan – Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2013
Given the importance of early intervention services for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), early diagnosis of children is critical. At present, several ASD screeners exist for young children, with the "Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers" ("M-CHAT") being one of the most widely researched. While the "M-CHAT" has good sensitivity…

Kozlowski, Alison M.; Matson, Johnny L.; Worley, Julie A.; Sipes, Megan; Horovitz, Max – Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2012
Early diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) is crucial so that early intervention services, which have been found to best alleviate symptoms of ASD in children, can be implemented. Currently, the "Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers" ("M-CHAT") and the "Baby and Infant Screen for Children with aUtIsm…

Matson, Johnny L.; Wilkins, Jonathan; Fodstad, Jill C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2011
A top priority in the field of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is the development of precise early diagnostic tools that can be completed with minimal time and training. We report on the convergent and divergent validity of the Baby and Infant Screen for Children with aUtIsm Traits (BISCUIT), specifically the BISCUIT-Part 1. Previous research with…

Matson, Johnny L.; Neal, Daniene; Hess, Julie A.; Kozlowski, Alison M. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
A lack of toileting skills is one of many impairments that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities experience. Unfortunately, little research has focused on problems in this area including assessment, function, and treatment. A newly developed checklist, the "Profile of Toileting Issues" ("POTI"), is being considered for use…

Matson, Johnny L.; Horovitz, Max; Sipes, Megan – Journal of Mental Health Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2011
The prevalence of toileting problems was assessed in 153 adults with intellectual disability (ID) using the "Profile of Toileting Issues" ("POTI") and comparisons were made based on various demographic variables. The most frequently endorsed problems were "has toileting accidents during the day," "has toileting…

Matson, Johnny L.; Hess, Julie A.; Mahan, Sara; Fodstad, Jill C. – Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2010
The purpose of this paper was to further establish the validity of the Autism Spectrum Disorder-Diagnostic for Children (ASD-DC). The methodology consisted of testing the similarity of findings between the ASD-DC and the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R), which proved to be statistically significant for subscale content scores on social,…

Matson, Johnny L.; Minshawi, Noha F. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2007
The development of experimental functional analysis and more recently functional analysis checklists have become common technologies for evaluating antecedent events and the consequences of problematic behaviors. Children and developmentally disabled persons across the life span with challenging behaviors have been the primary focus of this…

Matson, Johnny L.; Wilkins, Jonathan; Sevin, Jay A.; Knight, Cheryl; Boisjoli, Jessica A.; Sharp, Brenda – Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2009
The success of early intervention programs has in large part spurred increasing emphasis on identifying children with autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) at the earliest possible ages. National and international professional groups have called for early screening and diagnosis, yet the technology to…

Matson, Johnny L.; Fodstad, Jill C.; Boisjoli, Jessica A. – Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2008
Rett Syndrome is one of the least commonly occurring autism spectrum disorders (ASD), but certainly one of the most devastating. A genetic profile has been identified, but checklists still have an important role for prescreening, especially before expensive genetic testing, and to provide precise strengths and weaknesses with respect to the core…

Peer reviewedMatson, Johnny L.; Bamburg, Jay W.; Cherry, Katie E.; Paclawskyj, Theodosia R. – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1999
A study investigated the validity of the Questions about Behavioral Function, a checklist designed to assess antecedent behavior, using a sample of 398 persons with mental retardation and self-injurious behavior, aggression, or stereotypies. The checklist was used successfully to derive clear behavioral functions across all three target behaviors.…

Singh, Nirbhay N.; Matson, Johnny L.; Lancioni, Giulio E.; Singh, Ashvind N.; Adkins, Angela D.; McKeegan, Gerald F.; Brown, Stephen W. – Behavior Modification, 2006
The Questions About Behavioral Function (QABF), a 25-item rating scale, was developed to identify the function(s) of maladaptive behavior in individuals with developmental disabilities. The authors adapted it for use with individuals with serious mental illness who engage in maladaptive behavior and assessed the psychometric characteristics of the…

Peer reviewedRojahn, Johannes; Aman, Michael G.; Matson, Johnny L.; Mayville, Erik – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 2003
A study compared the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) and the Behavior Problems Inventory (BPI) for assessing the maladaptive behavior of 226 adults, mostly with severe or profound mental retardation. Individuals with elevated BPI scores generally had higher ABC scores, however, the extent of covariation differed across subscales. (Contains…
