Culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students face more complex social-emotional and socio-cultural challenges than their mainstream peers as part of their development and socialization in U.S. schools. Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) has been found to be beneficial in the academic and social success of all students; however, limited…

Ben-Itzchak, Esther; Zachor, Ditza A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Controlled studies examining canine therapy in autism spectrum disorder are scarce. This study examined the effectiveness of a "Dog Training Intervention" on adaptive skills, autism severity, and anxiety using a controlled crossover design. Seventy-three participants diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (M[subscript age] = 4:10 ± 1:0)…

Park, Mi N.; Moulton, Emily E.; Laugeson, Elizabeth A. – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2023
The establishment of reciprocal friendships is a challenge for many individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Social interaction difficulties emerge early, persist throughout development, and have widespread functional impact. As such, interventions focused on social functioning are needed in early intervention programs. This two-part study…

Keown, Louise J.; Franke, Nike; Triggs, Christopher M. – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2020
Executive functions (EFs) are foundational for the development of cognitive and social capacities critical for school readiness. The importance of promoting EF skills prior to school entry is increasing recognized but few preschool classroom-based interventions specifically target EF skills. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness…

Boudreau, Ainsley M.; Lucyshyn, Joseph M.; Corkum, Penny; Meko, Katelyn; Smith, Isabel M. – Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2021
The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of peer training in pivotal response treatment (PRT) for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in their first year of school. Four 6-year-old boys with ASD and eight typically developing (TD) children (aged 4-6 years) participated in the study. A non-concurrent…

As part of ACT's Holistic Framework, ACT researchers developed a Behavioral Skills Framework that can be used to assess behavior in education and work settings. By utilizing specific statements of effective behaviors, known as performance level descriptors (PLDs) (e.g., communicating well in group tasks), the Behavioral Skills Framework is…

Shin, Jin Y.; Nguyen Duc, Son – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2017
Objectives: The project assessed the efficacy of a home-based intervention program for young children (n = 64, ages ranging from 3 to 6 years) with developmental delays in Vietnam. It was hypothesized that the children in the intervention group would show greater progress in adaptive behavior than the children in the control group. Methods:…

Ventola, Pamela E.; Yang, Daniel; Abdullahi, Sebiha M.; Paisley, Courtney A.; Braconnier, Megan L.; Sukhodolsky, Denis G. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Children with ASD show high frequency of restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs); however, higher-order RRBs, such as restricted interests, have remained largely resistant to treatment. This study evaluated change in severity of RRBs following a 16-weeks open trial of Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT). Participants included 15 children with ASD…

Bremer, Emily; Balogh, Robert; Lloyd, Meghann – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2015
A wait-list control experimental design was employed to investigate the effectiveness of a fundamental motor skill intervention at improving the motor skills, adaptive behavior, and social skills of 4-year-old children with autism spectrum disorder (experimental n?=?5, control n?=?4); the impact of intervention intensity was also explored. The…

Anderson, Sophie; Meints, Kerstin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Equine-assisted activities and therapies are increasing in popularity for treatment of ASD symptoms. This research evaluated effects of a 5-week programme of therapeutic riding on social functioning of children/adolescents (N = 15) with ASD. The effectiveness of the programme was evaluated using the autism spectrum quotient, the Vineland Adaptive…
