Teacher self-efficacy refers to the beliefs teachers hold regarding their capability bring about desired instructional outcomes and may be helpful for understanding addressing critical issues such as teacher attrition use of research-supported practices. Educating students with autism likely presents some most significant challenges. The 35 special education between ages 3 9 years was evaluated. Teachers completed rating scales that represented aspects following Bandura’s 4 sources...

Little is known about factors impacting poor post-school outcomes for transition-age students with autism spectrum disorder. Guided by the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, and Sustainment implementation science framework, we sought to better understand interdependent impacts of policy, organizational, provider, individual that shape transition planning process in schools, subsequent through which plans are implemented as youth access services gain employment after school. We...

The effects of a teacher consultation intervention were examined-namely, the collaborative model for promoting competence and success (COMPASS), which was designed to improve objectives individualized education programs children with autism. consists an initial parent-teacher consultation, followed by four consultations across school year. Thirty-five teachers randomly selected child autism (M age = 6.1 years) from each classroom participated. Compared nonintervention teacher-child dyads,...

Little is known about services for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) living in rural areas. The purpose of this study was to examine parent report access and satisfaction ASD areas compare results parents from urban Parents both groups reported were diagnosed after the age 3 experienced challenges accessing services, trained professionals, educators. significantly more difficulty physicians professionals their implications needed future research are discussed.

Although teachers reporting high teaching self-efficacy demonstrate positive behaviors, minimal stress, and superior classroom management techniques, surprisingly few studies have demonstrated a relationship between teacher student outcomes. This study explored specific to students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), examined relationships engagement, individualized education program (IEP) Special ( N = 44) were recruited as part of larger examining consultation intervention. Results...

Although it is documented that parent interaction influences children's development, few studies have focused on methods for reliably assessing molar-level caregiver-child interactions are used regularly in treatment evaluations community-based settings, and none targeted children with autism spectrum disorders. Thirty-five their caregivers participated an outpatient evaluation therapeutic planning Parent-child (part of the routine evaluation) were coded immediately after a 10-minute...

The purpose of this study was to examine the agreement between parent and teacher perceptions specific social behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).Informant ratings were generated concerning 45 ASD ages 5 14 years who enrolled skills groups at 2 Midwestern outpatient treatment centers.Moderate observed parents teachers for overall rating scores (r = 0.34; p < 0.05), but there little on items. Distinct patterns skill profiles emerged. Parents consistently provided...

This study aimed to better understand predictors of evidence-based assessment practices for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Nationwide, 402 school psychologists were surveyed their knowledge and training experience with ASD on practices, including reported areas needs. The majority that they did not engage in comprehensive ASD, which was defined as assessments consider all development addition the use ASD-specific instruments. Results from logistic regression revealed training, working young...

Abstract Little is known about the impact of COVID‐19 pandemic on special education teachers. Of 468 surveyed across United States, 38.4% met clinical criteria for generalized anxiety disorder, a rate 12.4 times greater than U.S. population, and 37.6% major depressive 5.6 population. Race/ethnicity, gender, or school funding was not related to mental health. The moderate extreme stress (91%), depression (58%), (76%), emotional exhaustion (83%).

Daily living skills deficits are strongly associated with poor adult outcomes for individuals high-functioning autism spectrum disorder, and yet, there no group interventions targeting daily skills. Seven adolescents disorder their parents participated in a feasibility pilot of 12-week manualized treatment specific (i.e. morning routine, cooking, laundry, money management). Outcomes included the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition (Vineland-II) age equivalence scores four goal...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a chronic developmental that impairs the development of social and communication skills. Multiple studies have shown children with ASD prefer images self over others. These explain effectiveness video self-modeling (VSM), an evidence-based autism intervention in which one learns by watching oneself performing target behavior video. VSM content difficult to create as behaviors are sporadic, but advances sensing graphics enable synthesis such behaviors. In...

The article discusses current empirical evidence, also identifying gaps and areas for future research, the three critical elements of evidence-based practice in psychology (EBPP) (evidence-based practice; client characteristics, preferences, culture; clinical expertise) as applied to autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We contrast EBPP a pure EBP approach, outline issues specifying criteria sources defining EBP, identify evidence base (e.g., treatments adults with ASD). review impact on...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental that impairs the development of social and communication skills. There evidence children with ASD prefer images self over others[1] . These studies may explain effectiveness video self-modeling (VSM), an evidence-based intervention in which one learns by watching oneself on performing target behavior. VSM content difficult to create as behaviors are sporadic. In this paper, we propose MEBook system uses Kinect sensor inject self-images into...
