Direct linkHenry, Alyssa R.; Conner, Carlin; Zajic, Matthew C.; Solari, Emily J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
This study evaluates the feasibility and initial efficacy of an 11-week listening comprehension intervention, Building Vocabulary and Early Reading Strategies (BVERS) that was delivered remotely to 14 elementary-aged children with autism spectrum disorder. Children were randomly assigned to one of two groups: BVERS only, or BVERS with a parent…

Hodges, Amy; Cordier, Reinie; Joosten, Annette; Bourke-Taylor, Helen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Limited interventions exist that support student's school participation. This paper describes a theoretical model of school participation and the iterative process that led to the development of an intervention that aims to improve the school participation of students on the autism spectrum and their typically developing peers. Literature on…

Ledbetter-Cho, Katherine; O'Reilly, Mark; Watkins, Laci; Lang, Russell; Lim, Nataly; Davenport, Katy; Murphy, Caitlin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
This study used a multiple probe design to evaluate the effects of a teacher-implemented video-schedule intervention on the mathematical skills and untargeted challenging behaviors of five elementary-school students with autism. Results indicated that the intervention was effective in improving participants' academic performance, and a decrease in…

Cagliani, Rachel R.; Snyder, Sara Kathryn; White, Emily N. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an intensive toilet training program on continence and self-initiation for elementary children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Researchers used a non-concurrent multiple baseline design (Watson and Workman in J Behav Ther Exp Psychiatry 12:257-259, 1981,…

Vincent, Lori B.; Asmus, Jennifer M.; Lyons, Gregory L.; Born, Tiffany; Leamon, Megan; DenBleyker, Emma; McIntire, Hannah – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Schools need effective, generalizable, and socially valid social skills interventions to better support the social inclusion and peer relationships of their students on the autism spectrum. We evaluated a Pivotal Response Treatment-based, naturalistic social skills intervention implemented daily by school personnel in reverse inclusion school…

While working memory (WM) is a powerful predictor for children's school outcomes, autistic children are more likely to experience delays. This study compared autistic children and their neurotypical peers' WM development over their elementary school years, including relative growth and period of plasticity. Using a nationally-representative…

Sutton, Bronwyn M.; Westerveld, Marleen F.; Webster, Amanda A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Students with autism often show challenges in social communication, particularly in initiating and responding behaviors. While the classroom offers a natural context for peer interactions, few interventions are designed specifically for classroom settings. This study investigated the effects of a classroom-teacher implemented social communication…

The prevalence of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) may be underestimated as it can be difficult to diagnose in early childhood possibly reflecting unique developmental trajectories relative to other Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (NDDs). Using data collected via the Early Development Instrument (EDI) between 2010 and 2015, we examined the…

Engel, Karen S.; Ehri, Linnea C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Central coherence is the ability to perceive and connect salient information in a context such as a narrative text. Individuals with autism exhibit a detail-focused cognitive style of processing information that overlooks connections and shows weak central coherence. A six-session instructional intervention to foster coherence processing was…

Henry, Alyssa R.; Solari, Emily J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
This study investigates the effects of an integrated oral language and listening comprehension intervention for early elementary students with ASD. Students (n = 43) were randomly assigned to intervention or control comparison conditions, with intervention students receiving instruction in small groups of 3 or 4. Groups were led by special…

Kim, So Yeon; Rispoli, Mandy; Lory, Catharine; Gregori, Emily; Brodhead, Matthew T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a shared reading intervention on narrative story comprehension and task engagement of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A single-case multiple baseline design was used, and three elementary-aged students with ASD participated in this study. The shared reading intervention…

Sam, Ann M.; Odom, Samuel L.; Tomaszewski, Brianne; Perkins, Yolanda; Cox, Ann W. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of a comprehensive program model originally developed by the National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorder (NPDC). Sixty elementary schools with 486 participants were randomly assigned to an NPDC and services as usual condition (SAU). Significantly greater changes in program…

Chang, Ya-Chih; Shih, Wendy; Landa, Rebecca; Kaiser, Ann; Kasari, Connie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Few interventions exist for school-aged minimally verbal children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Even though play skills are associated with children's production of language, few studies have focused on play for minimally verbal children. Fifty-eight minimally verbal children with ASD received a naturalistic developmental behavioral…

Knight, Victoria F.; Kuntz, Emily M.; Brown, Melissa – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Video prompting is effective for teaching a variety of skills (e.g., daily living, communication) to students with autism and intellectual disability; yet, little research exists on the efficacy of these strategies on academic skills, in inclusive settings, and with typical intervention agents. Authors collaborated with paraprofessionals to select…

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a video modeling intervention with concrete-representational-abstract instructional sequence in teaching mathematics concepts to students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A multiple baseline across skills design of single-case experimental methodology was used to determine the…
