Aperçu: G.M.
Un
essai contrôlé randomisé a été mené pour évaluer les effets d'une intervention de formation à l' attention conjointe
médiée (JAML) auprès de très jeunes enfants avec un diagnostic de troubles du spectre de l'autisme (TSA) âgés de 16 à 30 mois (n = 144).
Les
parents, qui ont participé à 32 séances hebdomadaires à domicile, ont
suivi un processus d'apprentissage médié pour cibler les résultats
de la communication sociale préverbale (synchronie visuelle sociale,
réciprocité et réponse et initiation des formes d'attention conjointe)
tout au long des interactions quotidiennes.
Les résultats soutiennent l'intérêt d'une intervention très précoce
ciblant explicitement les fonctions sociales de la communication
préverbale et la promotion d'un engagement actif dans le processus
d'apprentissage pour les tout-petits et les parents.

Abstract
A
randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate effects of the
Joint Attention Mediated Learning (JAML) intervention. Toddlers with autism
spectrum disorders (ASD) aged 16-30 months (n = 144) were randomized to
intervention and community control conditions. Parents, who
participated in 32 weekly home-based sessions, followed a mediated
learning process to target preverbal social communication outcomes
(social visual synchrony, reciprocity, and responding and initiating
forms of joint attention) throughout daily interactions. The analysis
found post-intervention effects for all outcomes, with all except
initiating joint attention sustaining 6 months post-intervention.
Findings support the value of very early intervention targeting
explicitly social functions of preverbal communication and of promoting
active engagement in the learning process for both toddlers and parents.
