Parents of 30 school-age children with Down syndrome participated in a small-scale randomized clinical trial of a behavioral sleep treatment designed specifically for children with Down syndrome. The aim was to improve child sleep, child daytime behavior problems, caregiver sleep, and caregiver stress. The intervention spanned 5-8 weeks, and…

Children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) are at high risk of challenging behavior, yet families experience consistent barriers to affordable parent education in behavior management. This study tested the efficacy of a caregiver-focused Extensions of Community Health Outcomes (ECHO) program in delivering behavior management education and…

Amelia Yanchik; Peter Vietze; Leah Esther Lax – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2024
The literature has yet to review the differential effects of Natural Environment Teaching (NET) and Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) on adaptive skills. A sample of 142 children diagnosed with ASD between the ages of 16 and 35 months received either DTT, NET, or both interventions (NET+ DTT). The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (BSID)…

Wilkinson, Ellen H.; Britton, Tobias C.; Hall, Scott S. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2022
We examined potential phenotypic differences in eye gaze avoidance exhibited by boys with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and boys with fragile X syndrome (FXS). In Study 1, the Eye Contact Avoidance Scale (ECAS) was administered to caregivers of boys aged 7-18 years with FXS (n = 148), ASD (n = 168), and mixed developmental disabilities (MDD; n =…

Schwartzman, Jessica M.; Strong, Kristen; Ardel, Christina M.; Schuck, Rachel K.; Millan, M. Estefania; Phillips, Jennifer M.; Hardan, Antonio Y.; Gengoux, Grace W. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
Given the high prevalence of communication deficits in developmental disorders, there is need for efficient early interventions. The aim of this pilot study is to examine benefits of pivotal response treatment (PRT) for improving language in young children with developmental disorders without autism spectrum disorder. Parents of 15 children with…

Neil, Nicole; Amicarelli, Ashley; Anderson, Brianna M.; Liesemer, Kailee – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
This systematic review evaluates single-case research design studies investigating applied behavior analytic (ABA) interventions for people with Down syndrome (DS). One hundred twenty-five studies examining the efficacy of ABA interventions on increasing skills and/or decreasing challenging behaviors met inclusion criteria. The What Works…

Brady, Nancy C.; Romine, Rebecca E. Swinburne; Holbrook, Alison; Fleming, Kandace K.; Kasari, Connie – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2020
Changes in minimal verbal communication by children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were measured with the Communication Complexity Scale (CCS) and other communication assessments. The CCS measures complexity of preverbal and beginning verbal communication used to communicate behavior regulation and joint attention. The purpose was to…

Zyga, Olena; Russ, Sandra W.; Dimitropoulos, Anastasia – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2018
Research has shown that children with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) have social-cognitive challenges and decreased quality parent-child interactions. However, given the low prevalence rate, developing interventions for children with PWS is faced with the significant challenge of enrolling enough participants for local studies. To better understand…

Shire, Stephanie Yoshiko; Kasari, Connie – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2014
This systematic review examines train the trainer (TTT) effectiveness trials of behavioral interventions for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Published methodological quality scales were used to assess studies including participant description, research design, intervention, outcomes, and analysis. Twelve studies including 9 weak…

Ingersoll, Brooke; Walton, Katherine; Carlsen, Danielle; Hamlin, Theresa – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2013
Individuals with autism have difficulty with social skills across the lifespan. Few social interventions have been examined for older individuals with autism who also have significant intellectual disabilities (ID). Previous research suggests that reciprocal imitation training (RIT) improves imitation and social engagement in young children with…

Howlin, Patricia; Magiati, Iliana; Charman, Tony – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2009
Recent reviews highlight limitations in the evidence base for early interventions for children with autism. We conducted a systematic review of controlled studies of early intensive behavioral interventions (EIBI) for young children with autism. Eleven studies met inclusion criteria (including two randomized controlled trials). At group level,…

Smith, Isabel M.; Koegel, Robert L.; Koegel, Lynn K.; Openden, Daniel A.; Fossum, Kristin L.; Bryson, Susan E. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2010
The Nova Scotia early intensive behavior intervention model--NS EIBI (Bryson et al., 2007) for children with autistic spectrum disorders was designed to be feasible and sustainable in community settings. It combines parent training and naturalistic one-to-one behavior intervention employing Pivotal Response Treatment--PRT (R. Koegel & Koegel,…
