Silkey, Mariabeth; Durán-Pacheco, Gonzalo; Johnson, Michelle; Liu, Chuang; Clinch, Susanne; Law, Kiely; Loss, Georg – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Validated outcome measures with the capacity to reflect meaningful change are key to assessing potential interventions for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We derive clinically meaningful change thresholds (MCTs) of the Autism Impact Measure (AIM) and identify factors associated with meaningful change. Baseline and 12-months follow-up survey of…

Although behavioral interventions have been known to effectively reduce stereotypy in children with ASD, these types of interventions are not accessible to all families. In response to this issue, we evaluated the effects of the iSTIM, an iOS application designed to support parents in the reduction of stereotypy in their child with ASD. We used a…

Vibert, Bethany A.; Dufek, Sarah; Klein, Claire B.; Choi, Yeo Bi; Winter, Jamie; Lord, Catherine; Kim, So Hyun – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
This study aimed to provide initial validity and reliability of the "Measure of NDBI Strategy Implementation-Caregiver Change" ("MONSI-CC"), a novel measure that captures changes in caregivers' implementation of NDBI strategies during early intervention. The MONSI-CC was applied to 119 observations of 43 caregiver-child dyads…

People with developmental disorders (DD) often display high levels of selective eating, which can result in micronutrient deficiencies. It is therefore essential to explore ways to increase dietary variety in this population. To identify different types of interventions promoting increased acceptance of new foods or dietary variety for DD…
