Abstract Aim Early intensive behavioural intervention (EIBI) for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is often delivered using a community model. Behaviour modification experts train and supervise non‐experts (e.g. preschool personnel) to teach according applied behaviour analysis principles in their natural environment. Several factors predict EIBI outcomes ASD, example, knowledge of allegiance among trainers. The aim the present study was survey levels about towards EIBI. Methods...
Increasing rates of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and younger age at diagnosis pose a challenge to preschool intervention systems. In Sweden, most young autistic children receive service in community-based programs, but no tool is yet available assess the quality learning environment. This study adapted Autism Program Environment Rating Scale Preschool/Elementary Swedish community context (APERS-P-SE). Following translation multistep modification process, independent experts rated content...
Research has directed surprisingly little attention to the quality of Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as a potential predictor outcome. Therefore, using preschool delivery model within sample 30 children, we examined predictive power EIBI on treatment was assessed at baseline by York Measure Quality (YMQI) and outcome evaluated after period 4 6 months battery behavioral tests scales evaluate success. Multinomial logistic regressions...
Early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) is widely applied in young children with autism spectrum disorder. Little research has addressed the significance of adherence to EIBI practices for treatment outcomes. The York Measure Quality Intensive Behavioral Intervention (YMQI) was designed assess quality delivery Ontario, Canada. objective this study examine cross-cultural validity YMQI a clinical Swedish community sample 30 boys and four girls aged 2.5 6 years. Internal consistency...
In Sweden, young autistic children typically attend community-based preschool programs, which may not be adapted to their needs. the current study, stakeholders receiving Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention were interviewed following a quasi-randomized study (#NCT03634761) aimed at improving program quality using Swedish version of Autism Program Environment Rating Scale (APERS). Stakeholders provided perceptions and experiences concerning key factors for high programs as well...
Background Children on the autism spectrum may receive Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention (EIBI) in Sweden to support development by providing learning opportunities. However, research suggests a need improve quality of their environment.Aim This pre-registered study (#NCT03634761) aimed evaluate Swedish Autism Program Environment Rating Scale (APERS-P-SE) as means promote pre-school environment for children spectrum, along with outcomes these children, and staff.Material methods In...
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 feasibility and effects enriched supervision (using detailed video feedback) on EIBI compared regular only, over period 4–6 months. was conducted 30 ASD by preschool staff, where 18 enriched, 12 supervisions. evaluated using York...
