Abstract

This online survey study examined early intervention providers’ knowledge and training needs surrounding evidence-based practices for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The researchers analyzed data from 87 early intervention providers (speech-language pathologists and developmental specialists) in a rural Southwestern U.S. state. The survey included both quantitative (i.e., rating and multiple-choice questions) and qualitative (open-ended) components. Survey sections included demographics, self-ratings of knowledge of evidence-based practices/self-reported training needs and barriers to working with children with ASD, and directly assessed knowledge of evidence-based practices. Findings support specific knowledge gaps and training needs (e.g., practices for addressing challenging behaviors, strategies for working with children with limited communication skills) and suggest developmental specialists who provided special instruction services may have greater training needs than speech-language pathologists. Findings have important implications for professional development and training programs for early intervention providers.

早期干预者对自闭症循证实践的认识

这项在线调查研究考察了早期干预提供者对自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）循证实践的知识和培训需求。研究人员分析了美国西南部一个农村州87名早期干预提供者（言语语言病理学家和发育专家）的数据。调查包括定量（即评分和多项选择题）和定性（开放式）两部分。调查部分包括人口统计、对循证实践知识的自我评分/自我报告的培训需求和与ASD儿童合作的障碍，以及直接评估循证实践的知识。研究结果支持了特定的知识差距和培训需求（例如，应对挑战性行为的实践、与沟通能力有限的儿童合作的策略），并表明提供特殊指导服务的发展专家可能比言语病理学家有更大的培训需求。研究结果对早期干预提供者的专业发展和培训计划具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
