Abstract

ABSTRACT Methods to enhance the quality of delivered Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have received surprisingly little attention in previous research. In a pragmatic randomized controlled pilot study, we studied the feasibility and effects of enriched supervision (using detailed video feedback) on EIBI quality compared to regular supervision only, over a period of 4–6 months. EIBI was conducted in 30 children with ASD by preschool staff, where 18 received enriched, and 12 regular supervisions. EIBI quality was evaluated using the York Measure of Quality of Intensive Behavioural Intervention. The enriched supervision was deemed feasible and compared to staff receiving regular supervision. Preschool staff who received enriched supervision improved on overall quality of EIBI delivery, as well as specifically regarding goal-directedness, organization and efficiency of the EIBI. Findings support the significance of adequate education and supervision of EIBI providers for intervention quality assurance.

强化监督以提高自闭症早期强化行为干预的质量:一项实用的随机对照先导研究

提高自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童早期强化行为干预(EIBI)质量的方法在以往的研究中很少受到关注。在一项实用的随机对照试点研究中，我们在4-6个月的时间里研究了强化监管(使用详细的视频反馈)与常规监管相比对EIBI质量的可行性和效果。由学前班工作人员对30名自闭症儿童进行EIBI，其中18名接受强化监督，12名接受常规监督。强化监管被认为是可行的，并与接受常规监管的员工进行了比较。接受强化监督的幼儿园工作人员在EIBI实施的整体质量上有所提高，特别是在EIBI的目的性、组织性和效率方面。研究结果支持对EIBI提供者进行充分的教育和监督对干预质量保证的重要性。
