Direct linkHoffmann, Audrey N.; Bogoev, Bistra K.; Sellers, Tyra P. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2022
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of an intervention selection model on the outcomes of function-based interventions for escape-maintained problem behavior. The study included five children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and was conducted in a school setting. We conducted functional analyses to determine the function of…

Ivy, Sarah E.; Ledford, Jennifer R. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2022
Restricted or repetitive behavior (RRB) is common for individuals with visual impairment (VI), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and intellectual disability. Previous reviews have suggested that VI may moderate the effectiveness of behavioral interventions to decrease RRB. A search of the single case literature resulted in 30 studies and 40…

Scheithauer, Mindy; Call, Nathan A.; Lomas Mevers, Joanna; McCracken, Courtney E.; Scahill, Lawrence – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Elopement is a common and dangerous concern in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There is evidence that behavior analytic treatments can successfully treat elopement, but the research is limited due to small samples and treatment components varying across studies. The current study evaluated the feasibility of studying a manualized intervention for…

Burrell, T. Lindsey; Postorino, Valentina; Scahill, Lawrence; Rea, Hannah M.; Gillespie, Scott; Evans, A. Nichole; Bearss, Karen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Delivery of interventions in a group format is a potential solution to limited access to specialized services for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We conducted an open feasibility trial of group-based RUBI parent training in 18 children (mean age 6.12 ± 1.95 years) with ASD and disruptive behaviors. Parents participated in one of five…

Cariveau, Tom; Shillingsburg, M. Alice; Alamoudi, Arwa; Thompson, Taylor; Bartlett, Brittany; Gillespie, Scott; Scahill, Lawrence – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2020
Access to early intensive behavioral intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder is commonly recommended. Intervention programs may include high rates of instructional trials, which may evoke escape-maintained problem behavior. Recent research on "pairing" or "rapport-building" interventions have sought to reduce…

Gregori, Emily; Wendt, Oliver; Gerow, Stephanie; Peltier, Corey; Genc-Tosun, Derya; Lory, Catharine; Gold, Zachary S. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2020
Functional communication training (FCT) is one of the most common treatments for challenging behavior and is considered an empirically supported practice for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, no previous systematic review has evaluated the quality of FCT for adults with ASD, and the empirical support for this…

Frazier, Kimberly F.; Collier, Jessica; Glade, Rachel – Perspectives of the ASHA Special Interest Groups, 2020
Background: The aim of this study was to determine the clinical efficacy of combining self-management strategies and a social thinking approach to address the social performance and executive function of an adolescent female with autism spectrum disorder. Method: This research examined the effects of a social knowledge training program,…

McLay, Laurie; France, Karyn; Blampied, Neville; Hunter, Jolene – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2019
Objectives: Sleep problems are prevalent among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and are often accompanied by stereotypies, the function of which may be difficult to determine. Functional behavioral assessment (FBA) is an evidence-based approach to assessing and treating challenging behaviors, however, it has scarcely been used with…

Aran, Adi; Cassuto, Hanoch; Lubotzky, Asael; Wattad, Nadia; Hazan, Esther – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Anecdotal evidence of successful cannabis treatment in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are accumulating but clinical studies are lacking. This retrospective study assessed tolerability and efficacy of cannabidiol-rich cannabis, in 60 children with ASD and severe behavioral problems (age = 11.8 ± 3.5, range 5.0-17.5; 77% low functioning; 83% boys).…

Muething, Colin S.; Falcomata, Terry S.; Ferguson, Raechal; Swinnea, Samantha; Shpall, Cayenne – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
Children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities often exhibit invariant responding (i.e., restricted behavioral repertoires), deficits in communication, and challenging behavior. Approaches demonstrated in the basic and applied literature to increase response variability include extinction, lag schedules of…

Many neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) share common learning and behavioural impairments, as well as features such as dysregulation of the oxytocin hormone. Here, we examined DNA methylation (DNAm) in the 1st intron of the oxytocin receptor gene, "OXTR," in patients with autism spectrum (ASD), attention deficit and hyperactivity (ADHD)…

Baghdadli, Amaria; Rattaz, Cécile; Michelon, Cécile; Pernon, Eric; Munir, Kerim – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
There is limited data on long-term outcome of ASD with co-occurring intellectual disabilities (ID) and challenging behaviours in France. The EpiTED period cohort is a 15 years longitudinal study of the developmental trajectories of 281 children initially recruited at mean age of 5 years. Two contrasted developmental trajectories were identified.…

Taylor, Briana J.; Sanders, Kevin B.; Kyle, Marie; Pedersen, Kahsi A.; Veenstra-Vanderweele, Jeremy; Siegel, Matthew – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Psychiatric hospitalization of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is common, but there is little comparative information available on different psychiatric hospital treatment models. Children with ASD ages 4-20 were enrolled upon admission to either a specialized (N = 53) or a general child psychiatric unit (N = 27). Caregivers completed…

Insomnia is common in children with autism. Cognitive behavioral treatment for childhood insomnia may improve sleep and functioning in children with autism and their parents, but delivery involving multiple office visits limits accessibility. This single-arm pilot study tested telehealth delivery of eight-session cognitive behavioral treatment for…
