Comparaison des points de vue des pères et des mères sur le "trouble du spectre de l'autisme" de leur enfant

Aperçu: G.M.

Les mères sont souvent les principaux parents participants à la recherche sur les "troubles du spectre de l'autisme" (TSA). En conséquence, on sait peu de choses sur les perceptions des pères concernant les TSA de leurs enfants et si ces perceptions diffèrent de celles des mères.
Compte tenu des informations limitées disponibles concernant les perceptions des pères sur les TSA de leurs enfants, cette étude visait à étudier les variables pères (stress, adaptation, soutien et perception du handicap) et comment elles se comparent à celles des mères.
Les participants étaient 361 parents biologiques (294 mères et 67 pères) d'enfants autistes qui ont participé à une étude plus vaste.
Les résultats ont révélé des différences significatives entre le stress et l'adaptation autodéclarés par les mères et les pères.
Comprendre les différences entre les points de vue des parents a à la fois des implications de recherche et cliniques pour travailler avec des familles qui élèvent des enfants autistes.

Abstract

Mothers are often the primary parent participants in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) research. As a result, little is known about fathers' perceptions regarding their children's ASD and whether these perceptions differ from mothers'. Given the limited information available regarding fathers' perceptions about their children's ASD, this study aimed to investigate father variables (stress, coping, support, and perception of disability) and how they compare to mothers'. Participants were 361 biological parents (294 mothers and 67 fathers) of children on the autism spectrum who participated in a larger study. Results revealed significant differences between mothers' and fathers' self-reported stress and coping. Understanding differences between parents' perspectives has both research and clinical implications for working with families raising children on the autism spectrum.

Keywords: Autism; Coping style; Fathers; Parental stress; Perception of disability; Support style.

Améliorer le jeu de simulation pour les enfants autistes en découvrant les propriétés stimulantes d'objets réels

Aperçu: G.M. 

Les enfants avec un diagnostic de "trouble du spectre de l'autisme" (dTSA) manquent souvent de compétences de jeu symbolique. L'attribution de propriétés simulées (APP) est un type de jeu symbolique dans lequel un enfant traite les propriétés simulées d'un objet (par exemple, sentir une fleur jouet et dire: «Ça sent la rose!»).
Trois garçons chinois (âgés de 5 à 6 ans) avec un dTSA ont fait partie des participants. Une conception à sondes multiples sur 5 objets a été utilisée pour déterminer les effets d'une intervention qui impliquait d'avoir l'expérience de l'enfant et de toucher les propriétés sensorielles d'objets réels (par exemple, rose).
Des objets de test correspondants, y compris des faux (par exemple, un jouet en forme de fleur) et des objets arbitraires (par exemple, un bâton), ont été utilisés pour évaluer si les réponses tactiles pour les propriétés sensorielles ont été transférées.
Les résultats ont indiqué que les 3 enfants ont émis des propriétés de stimulus pour les objets de test et ont maintenu la compétence pendant 7 à 10 semaines après l'intervention. Deux participants ont également mesuré de nouvelles propriétés (non cibles) pour les objets de test.

Abstract

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often lack symbolic play skills. Attribution of pretend properties (APP) is a type of symbolic play in which a child tacts pretend properties of an object (e.g., smelling a toy flower and saying, "It smells like a rose!"). Three Chinese boys (5-6 years of age) with ASD served as participants. A multiple-probe design across 5 objects was used to determine the effects of an intervention that involved having the child experience and tact sensory properties of real objects (e.g., rose). Corresponding test objects, including mock (e.g., a toy flower) and arbitrary objects (e.g., a stick), were used to evaluate whether tact responses for sensory properties were transferred. Results indicated that all 3 children emitted tacts of stimulus properties for test objects and maintained the skill for 7 to 10 weeks following the intervention. Two participants also tacted novel (nontarget) properties for test objects.

Keywords: autism spectrum disorder; relational frame theory; stimulus properties; symbolic play; transfer of stimulus functions.

Évaluer la fonction de l'interaction sociale pour les enfants autistes

Aperçu: G.M.

Plusieurs chercheurs ont évalué si l'interaction sociale se renforce ou non; cependant, peu d'études ont évalué des méthodes permettant d'évaluer si les interactions sociales fonctionnent comme des stimuli renforçateurs, neutres ou aversifs. Nous étendons cette recherche en évaluant une nouvelle méthode d'évaluation de la fonction de l'interaction sociale. Vingt et un enfants diagnostiqués avec un trouble du spectre de l'autisme (TSA) y ont participé. Les interactions sociales se sont avérées fonctionner comme des renforçateurs pour 9 participants, des stimuli neutres pour 7 participants et des stimuli aversifs pour 5 participants. La méthode évaluée s'est avérée plus efficace, peut-être plus faisable et a été tout aussi décisive que les méthodes évaluées dans des recherches antérieures. Les implications de cette étude et de sa méthodologie ainsi que les orientations futures de cette ligne de recherche sont discutées.

Abstract

Several researchers have assessed whether or not social interaction is reinforcing; however, few studies have evaluated methods of assessing whether social interactions function as reinforcing, neutral, or aversive stimuli. We extend this research by evaluating a new method of assessing the function of social interaction. Twenty-one children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) participated. Social interactions were found to function as reinforcers for 9 participants, neutral stimuli for 7 participants, and aversive stimuli for 5 participants. The method evaluated was found to be more efficient, may be more feasible, and was similarly as decisive as methods evaluated in previous research. Implications of this study and its methodology as well as future directions in this line of research are discussed.

Keywords: autism spectrum disorder; concurrent operant reinforcer assessment; social interaction.

Support orthographique pour l'apprentissage des mots dans les populations cliniques: une revue systématique

Aperçu: G.M.

Objectif
Une revue systématique a été réalisée pour déterminer dans quelle mesure la facilitation orthographique, une stratégie pour améliorer l'apprentissage des mots, a été démontrée comme étant efficace dans la littérature pour les enfants et les adolescents de catégories cliniques telles que les troubles du développement du langage (DLD), les "troubles du spectre de l'autisme' (TSA), Syndrome de Down, dyslexie, déficience auditive, déficience intellectuelle et paralysie cérébrale. 

Méthode
Cinq bases de données ont été utilisées comme rechercher pour toutes les études publiées jusqu'en décembre 2019. Les études éligibles incluaient des participants d'une population clinique (DLD, TSA, dyslexie, paralysie cérébrale, syndrome de Down, déficience auditive, etc.) et comparaient l'apprentissage des mots avec et sans orthographe. Des études sélectionnées ont été extraites pour obtenir des informations pertinentes. De plus, une évaluation de la rigueur méthodologique a été réalisée pour chaque étude. 

Résultats
La revue a produit cinq études qui ciblaient l'apprentissage des mots avec la facilitation orthographique pour les enfants de diverses populations cliniques, y compris la DLD, les enfants autistes verbaux, le syndrome de Down et la dyslexie.
Toutes les populations étudiées ont montré un avantage pour l'apprentissage des mots dans les post-tests de dénomination des images lorsque les mots étaient formés en présence de l'orthographe. 

Conclusions
Pour les populations étudiées, l'apprentissage des mots en présence d'orthographe améliorera l'enseignement de la précision et la rétention des mots. L'examen met en évidence la nécessité de poursuivre la recherche dans ce domaine auprès d'autres populations cliniques.

Abstract

Purpose A systematic review was performed to determine the extent to which orthographic facilitation, a strategy to improve word learning, has been demonstrated in the literature for children and adolescents from clinical categories such as developmental language disorders (DLD), autism spectrum disorders (ASD), Down syndrome, dyslexia, hearing impairment, intellectual disability, and cerebral palsy. Method Five databases were searched for all studies published through December 2019. Eligible studies included participants from a clinical population (DLD, ASD, dyslexia, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, hearing impairment, etc.) and compared word learning with and without orthography. Selected studies were extracted for pertinent information. In addition, assessment of the methodological rigor was performed for each study. Results The review yielded five studies that targeted word learning with orthographic facilitation for children from various clinical populations including DLD, verbal children with autism, Down syndrome, and dyslexia. All studied populations showed a benefit for word learning in picture naming posttests when words were trained in the presence of orthography. Conclusions For the studied populations, training words in the presence of orthography will improve word learning accuracy and retention. The review highlights the need for more research in this area across other clinical populations. Supplemental Material https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.14632791.

Déploiement de l'attention auditive chez les jeunes adultes avec un diagnostic de "trouble du spectre de l'autisme"

Aperçu: G.M.

La difficulté à écouter dans des environnements bruyants est une plainte fréquente des personnes avec un diagnostic de "trouble du spectre de l'autisme" (dTSA). Cependant, les mécanismes sous-jacents à ces défis de traitement auditif sont inconnus. 

Cette étude préliminaire a examiné le déploiement de l'attention auditive chez les adultes avec un dTSA. Les participants ont été invités à maintenir ou à changer l'attention entre deux flux vocaux simultanés dans trois conditions: emplacement (co-localisé contre ± 30 ° de séparation), voix (même voix contre contraste homme-femme) et les deux signaux ensemble. 

Les résultats ont montré que les personnes avec un dTSA peuvent diriger l'attention de manière sélective en utilisant l'emplacement ou les indices vocaux, mais la performance était meilleure lorsque les deux signaux étaient présents. En comparaison avec les adultes neurotypiques, la performance globale était moins précise dans toutes les conditions. 

Ces résultats justifient une enquête plus approfondie sur les différences de déploiement de l'attention auditive chez les personnes avec un TSA.

Abstract

Difficulty listening in noisy environments is a common complaint of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the mechanisms underlying such auditory processing challenges are unknown. This preliminary study investigated auditory attention deployment in adults with ASD. Participants were instructed to maintain or switch attention between two simultaneous speech streams in three conditions: location (co-located versus ± 30° separation), voice (same voice versus male-female contrast), and both cues together. Results showed that individuals with ASD can selectively direct attention using location or voice cues, but performance was best when both cues were present. In comparison to neurotypical adults, overall performance was less accurate across all conditions. These findings warrant further investigation into auditory attention deployment differences in individuals with ASD.
