Storch, Eric A.; Wood, Jeffrey J.; Guzick, Andrew G.; Small, Brent J.; Kerns, Connor M.; Ordaz, D. Luis; Schneider, Sophie C.; Kendall, Philip C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Anxiety/obsessive-compulsive disorders are common among youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Two versions of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) are effective, with some advantage for a personalized, adapted version. This study evaluated predictors and moderators of standard CBT and adapted CBT. Youth (N = 167) ages 7-13 were randomized to…

Contaldo, Annarita; Colombi, Costanza; Pierotti, Caterina; Masoni, Patrizia; Muratori, Filippo – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Several studies have shown the efficacy and effectiveness of the Early Start Denver Model, both in university and in community-based settings. However, a limited number of studies have investigated predictors of outcomes. In this study, we examined outcomes in 32 children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder after 1 year of community-based…

Tajik-Parvinchi, Diana J.; Farmus, Linda; Cribbie, Robert; Albaum, Carly; Weiss, Jonathan A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Difficulties with emotion regulation are common in children with autism. Although interventions targeting emotion regulation show promise, children's individual treatment responses vary, and it is important to understand the factors that contribute to treatment change. The present study aimed to identify pre-treatment child characteristics and…

Keefer, Amy; Kreiser, Nicole L.; Singh, Vini; Blakeley-Smith, Audrey; Duncan, Amie; Johnson, Catherine; Klinger, Laura; Meyer, Allison; Reaven, Judy; Vasa, Roma A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Modified cognitive-behavioral therapy (MCBT) has been demonstrated to reduce anxiety in youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, non-response rates are fairly high. Few studies have investigated factors associated with response. Intolerance of uncertainty (IU) is a treatment target for anxiety and worry in neurotypical populations and…

Therapeutic alliance is often an important aspect of psychotherapy, though it is rarely examined in clients with autism. This study aims to determine the child pre-treatment variables and treatment outcomes associated with early and late alliance in cognitive behaviour therapy targeting emotion regulation for children with autism. Data were…

Maddox, Brenna B.; Miyazaki, Yasuo; White, Susan W. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Anxiety interventions involving social skills training and CBT for youth with ASD have shown promise, but few studies have examined the effects on social functioning or the maintenance of treatment gains. This study evaluated change in social skills during a randomized controlled trial of CBT and during the 1-year follow-up for 25 adolescents with…

Little is known about use of early interventions for autism spectrum disorder in Europe. Parents of children with autism spectrum disorder aged 7?years or younger (N?=?1680) were recruited through parent organisations in 18 European countries and completed an online survey about the interventions their child received. There was considerable…

Tudor, Megan E.; Walsh, Caitlin E.; Mulder, Emile C.; Lerner, Matthew D. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2015
Evidence suggests that pain interferes with sleep in youth with developmental disabilities. This study examined the relationship between pain and sleep problems in a sample of youth with parent-reported autism spectrum disorder (N = 62). Mothers reported on standardized measures of pain and sleep problems. Youth demonstrated atypically high levels…
