Abstract

Young autistic children and their siblings often need support to play and engage with each other. The inclusion of older siblings in the provision of support may improve outcomes for autistic children and strengthen the sibling relationship. This study evaluated the inclusion of older siblings in the delivery of Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) support to autistic children aged between 3 and 4 years. It used a non-concurrent multiple baseline across participants design to evaluate the effects of sibling-mediated ESDM for four young autistic children and their older, non-autistic siblings. For most dyads, there were improvements in autistic child engagement and in sibling initiations during the sibling-mediated ESDM, which were generally maintained at follow-up. There was some improvement in sibling responses and minimal improvement in autistic child imitation and functional utterances. Sibling initiations and responses were generally positively correlated with autistic child engagement, functional utterances, and imitation. The parents of children in all four dyads found the sibling-mediated ESDM to be acceptable. These preliminary results suggest that sibling-mediated ESDM may be beneficial for improving the interaction between autistic children and their non-autistic siblings while benefits for teaching additional child skills might be more limited.

以兄弟姐妹为主导的丹佛早期启蒙模式为自闭症幼儿提供支持
年幼的自闭症儿童和他们的兄弟姐妹在一起玩耍和交往时往往需要支持。让年长的兄弟姐妹参与提供支持可以改善自闭症儿童的治疗效果,并加强兄弟姐妹之间的关系。本研究评估了在为 3 至 4 岁的自闭症儿童提供 "丹佛早期启蒙模式"(ESDM)支持的过程中纳入哥哥姐姐的情况。研究采用非同期多基线跨参与者设计,评估了以兄弟姐妹为中介的 ESDM 对四名年幼自闭症儿童及其年长的非自闭症兄弟姐妹的影响。对于大多数家庭来说,在以兄妹为媒介的可持续发展教育过程中,自闭症儿童的参与度和兄妹间的主动性都有所提高,这在随访中基本得以保持。兄弟姐妹的反应有所改善,而自闭症儿童的模仿和功能性言语的改善则微乎其微。兄弟姐妹的启动和反应一般与自闭症儿童的参与、功能性言语和模仿呈正相关。所有四组儿童的家长都认为以兄弟姐妹为媒介的 ESDM 是可以接受的。这些初步结果表明,以兄妹为媒介的ESDM可能有益于改善自闭症儿童与非自闭症兄妹之间的互动,但对教授其他儿童技能的益处可能较为有限。

期刊介绍: Journal of Child and Family Studies (JCFS) international, peer-reviewed forum for topical issues pertaining to the behavioral health and well-being of children, adolescents, and their families. Interdisciplinary and ecological in approach, the journal focuses on individual, family, and community contexts that influence child, youth, and family well-being and translates research results into practical applications for providers, program implementers, and policymakers. Original papers address applied and translational research, program evaluation, service delivery, and policy matters that affect child, youth, and family well-being. Topic areas include but are not limited to: enhancing child, youth/young adult, parent, caregiver, and/or family functioning; prevention and intervention related to social, emotional, or behavioral functioning in children, youth, and families; cumulative effects of risk and protective factors on behavioral health, development, and well-being; the effects both of exposure to adverse childhood events and assets/protective factors; child abuse and neglect, housing instability and homelessness, and related ecological factors influencing child and family outcomes.
