However, performance of autism screeners in high-likelihood preschool children and barriers to implementation need to be further studied. The current effectiveness-implementation hybrid type 1 study examined the impact of administering the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised with Follow-Up (M-CHAT-R/F) in a sample of preschool children during the EI intake phone call. Data from 2,661 educational records showed that 42.8% of them received the M-CHAT-R. Only 14.0% of the screen-positive children completing the process to determine eligibility for EI services were referred for an autism-specific evaluation. Most of these (94.8%), regardless of screener status, received an autism diagnosis, suggesting that referrals are based on clinical judgment. Training and incorporation to current protocols within agencies are necessary to introduce a screening tool and support implementation fidelity and effective autism detection.","PeriodicalId":12133,"journal":{"name":"Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities","volume":"40 3","pages":"145-153"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12674614/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145676913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Autistic adolescents were randomized to STRW or control. The primary outcome was the caregiver-reported Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, 3rd Edition (VABS-3) DLS domain and Personal, Domestic, and Community sub-domains. The secondary outcome was DLS Goal Attainment Scaling (DLS-GAS) caregiver interview. Compared to control (n = 22), autistic teens in STRW (n = 26) made significant improvements on the VABS-3 DLS domain (p = .04) and Domestic sub-domain (p = .01) and the DLS-GAS areas of Cooking, Laundry, and Money Management (all p's < .05). STRW narrowed the gap between DLS and age as autistic adolescents acquired age-appropriate domestic, personal, and community DLS compared to the control group.","PeriodicalId":12133,"journal":{"name":"Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12327085/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144798577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve this outcome, individuals with ID can exercise independently by self-instructing. Self-instruction is considered a pivotal skill once it generalizes to untrained stimuli. This study used a multiple probe across participants design to simultaneously evaluate the effects of progressive time delay (PTD) on the acquisition of self-instructional behaviors to perform exercise routines and the generalization of these behaviors for four elementary students with ID. Generalization was programmed by implementing PTD procedures with two different workout schedules while simultaneously and continuously probing two other workout schedules until mastery. Three of the four participants acquired self-instructional behaviors with their target schedules and generalized these behaviors to two novel schedules resulting in independent performance of 36 untrained exercise behaviors. Results and discussions pertaining to generalization evaluation within single-case designs are described.","PeriodicalId":12133,"journal":{"name":"Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142176608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, paraeducators supporting students with ASD typically receive limited training and are unprepared for their roles. As part of a larger survey study, we conducted a content analysis of paraeducator responses across three open-ended survey items focused on their skills, training, and challenges specific to supporting students with ASD. Despite reporting limited preparation and training, paraeducators described a variety of knowledge, skills, and dispositions related to supporting students with ASD, many of which resulted from their practical experiences as opposed to school-based training and supervision. Our findings also confirm that paraeducators face a number of challenges in collaborating with other educational professionals and families and supporting students with ASD across settings due to limited training and preparation. We present implications for developing paraeducator training programs in the area of ASD and future research directions.","PeriodicalId":12133,"journal":{"name":"Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140009012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study is a follow-up, 3 to 8 years later, with parents/caregivers of 57 children previously enrolled in a university-based study evaluating early ASD-risk. The original study evaluated infants’ (ages 15–35 months) ASD-risk through both observation-based and parent-report screeners. At follow-up, caregivers completed a phone interview inquiring about their child’s developmental progress and diagnostic outcomes. Results indicated screener at-risk status agreement in infancy predicted only one of the four parent-reported ASD diagnoses at follow-up. Single instrument at-risk status aligned with two additional ASD diagnoses (one per screener), and both screeners missed one ASD diagnosis at follow-up. Results did not indicate significant added utility for the observation-based screener over the commonly used parent-report screener, suggesting that ASD behavioral markers may be hard to observe at early ages.","PeriodicalId":12133,"journal":{"name":"Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140001407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
