In this study, we explored potential associations among self-injurious behaviors (SIB) and a diverse group of protective and risk factors in children with autism spectrum disorder from two databases: Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network and the Autism Speaks-Autism Treatment Network (AS-ATN). The presence of SIB was…

Zagona, Alison L.; Miller, Amanda L.; Kurth, Jennifer A.; Love, Hailey R. – School Community Journal, 2019
The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine parents' perspectives and experiences of special education, including the degree to which decisions about their child's education were implemented as they had agreed upon with the school personnel. Additionally, a secondary purpose of this study was to understand how parents explain why school…

Lygeraki, Agapi – Online Submission, 2019
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects the functioning of the brain and consequently other areas of development in an unstable and irregular way. There are many therapeutic approaches to autism and one of them is music therapy. Music therapy is a purely therapeutic treatment (Anagnostopoulou & Manti, 2009). It does not seek…

Bowden, Nicholas; Thabrew, Hiran; Kokaua, Jesse; Audas, Richard; Milne, Barry; Smiler, Kirsten; Stace, Hilary; Taylor, Barry; Gibb, Sheree – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
New Zealand has few estimates of the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder and no national registry. The use of administrative data sources is expanding and could be useful in autism spectrum disorder research. However, the extent to which autism spectrum disorder can be captured in these data sources is unknown. In this study, we utilised three…

This paper investigates the role of caregiver mental health and parenting practices as predictors of attachment in children with intellectual disability/developmental delay, comparing between children with ASD (n = 29) and children with other developmental disabilities (n = 20). Parents reported that children with ASD had high levels of anxiety…

Cascio, Carissa J.; Lorenzi, Jill; Baranek, Grace T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Tactile defensiveness, characterized by behavioral hyperresponsiveness and negative emotional responses to touch, is a common manifestation of aberrant sensory processing in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other developmental disabilities (DD). Variations in tactile defensiveness with the properties of the stimulus and the bodily site of…

Coulter, Kirsty L.; Barton, Marianne L.; Robins, Diana L.; Stone, Wendy L.; Fein, Deborah A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Although the early behaviors associated with autism spectrum disorder have been well characterized, many behaviors are also commonly observed in young children with other developmental delays and even in those with typical development. Therefore, consideration must be given to whether a child demonstrates sufficient autism spectrum disorder…

Samadi, Sayyed Ali; Abdollahi-Boghrabadi, Ghasem; McConkey, Roy – Early Child Development and Care, 2020
Background: Parenting of children with Developmental Disabilities is considered to be a challenging task. This group of parents are at risk for lower levels of being satisfied with caregiving to their child compared to parents of typically developing children. Methods: Participants were recruited from different services in four provinces across…

Ziegler, Maureen; Matthews, Amy; Mayberry, Margie; Owen-DeSchryver, Jamie; Carter, Erik W. – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2020
Peer relationships are just as important for students with autism, intellectual disability, and other developmental disabilities. Through their interactions with peers across the school day, students develop new skills, encounter new perspectives, access needed supports, find camaraderie, develop social capital, learn prevailing norms, and elevate…

Farber, Rachel S.; Dube, William V.; Dickson, Chata A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2016
Individuals with developmental disabilities may fail to attend to multiple features in compound stimuli (e.g., arrays of pictures, letters within words) with detrimental effects on learning. Participants were 5 children with autism spectrum disorder who had low to intermediate accuracy scores (35% to 84%) on a computer-presented compound matching…

Havercamp, Susan M.; Ratliff-Schaub, Karen; Macho, Patricia Navas; Johnson, Cherelle N.; Bush, Kelsey L.; Souders, Heather T. – Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2016
People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities have poorer health and face unique barriers to health care compared to people without disabilities. These health disparities can be partially attributed to physicians' limited knowledge about caring for patients with developmental disabilities. The purpose of this…

Sauer, Theodor; Lawrence, Linda; Mayo-Ortega, Liliana; Oyama-Ganiko, Rosa; Schroeder, Stephen – Journal of Mental Health Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2018
The prevalence of refractive error and ocular disorders among infants and young children with severe behavioral problems and developmental disorders is not well defined, particularly in developing countries. We performed a retrospective review of ophthalmic examinations performed during a National Institutes of Health--funded cohort study of very…

Buggey, Tom; Crawford, S. Caroline; Rogers, Chelsea L. – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2018
Video self-modeling (VSM) uses a method called "feedforward" to provide children the opportunity to view themselves as they perform in a more advanced or appropriate manner than they do presently. Typically, this is accomplished through the careful editing of videos. Studies on VSM and social skills with children on the autism spectrum…

Reichle, Joe; Byiers, Breanne J.; Reeve, Amanda – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2018
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently exhibit generalization errors, but many instructional programs fail to address this deficit. Generalization errors encompass when the learner should extend the use of a newly taught behavior to other contexts but does not (under-generalization), as well as when he or she should not use the…

Gardiner, E.; Miller, A. R.; Lach, L. M. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2018
Background: The aim of the current study was to identify functional predictors of perceived impact of childhood disability among families of children with neurodevelopmental disorders and disabilities. We first examined the relationship between sub-domains of adaptive and problematic behaviour and perceived family impact. Second, we examined…
