“…Although there are clinical interventions that have proven efficient (often considered to be evidence-based), it is methodologically difficult to verify the efficacy of all interventions. Many of them are designed to be used at a clinical or academic level, but not at a community or everyday level (McLeod et al, 2015).…”

An action research project was carried out, using theater workshops and basic digital fabrication technology workshops to improve social skills—such as the expression of emotions, communication, self-control, and teamwork—in a group of 10 young individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This article focuses on the digital fabrication workshops, where participants worked on the fundamentals of electronics and programming, as well as 3D design and printing, to make props that were later used on stage in the theatrical performances in which they participated. These workshops were systematized through observation guides. According to the results, it was evident that the participants not only enjoyed and gained technological knowledge, but that their social skill development needs were addressed. Professionals from the Special Education Faculty and the Fab Lab Kä Träre, both from Universidad Estatal a Distancia in Costa Rica, were in charge of the study during its first phase, executed in 2016 and 2017.

“…Cependant, cette métaanalyse n'inclut que deux participants ayant reçu l'intervention en milieu familial sur les 55 inclus dans la méta-analyse. D'autres méthodes dont l'approche béhaviorale intensive sont reconnues pour donner des résultats probants ou favorisant la généralisation des apprentissages (McLeod, Wood et Klebanoff, 2015). Néanmoins, plusieurs de ces interventions probantes requièrent l'implication d'un professionnel.…”

Élaboré par Gray et Garand (1993), le scénario social™ est une méthode d’intervention utilisée auprès des enfants ayant un trouble du spectre de l’autisme (TSA). Cette courte histoire lue à ou par l’enfant lui apprend comment se comporter dans un contexte spécifique. Plusieurs recherches rapportent des résultats positifs associés aux scénarios sociaux. Toutefois, celles-ci se concentrent en milieu scolaire ou clinique et impliquent peu les parents. Cette étude exploratoire vise à appliquer un programme de formation concernant le scénario social à l’intention des parents d’enfants ayant un TSA. Quatre mères ont participé au programme de formation et ont réalisé un scénario social pour leur enfant. Les résultats montrent que les mères sont satisfaites de leur expérience et estiment avoir appris les étapes de rédaction et d’application du scénario social. Cet article décrit les modalités d’application du programme de formation concernant le scénario social, les perceptions des mères sur les effets de ce dernier et leurs recommandations quant à l’amélioration du programme.

“…ASD intervention literature indicates that early identification and developmentally appropriate treatments remain urgent clinical and educational priorities; this is particularly true for children younger than age three, as their increased brain plasticity allows for quicker and greater behavior changes (Dawson, 2008). Despite the many behavioral and educational treatments that have been developed for ASD (Papadopoulos, 2018), the American Psychological Association (APA) only recognizes a few interventions as efficacious or potentially efficacious (McLeod, Wood, & Klebanoff, 2015). Applied behavior analysis and early intensive behavioral intervention have been implemented as evidence-based treatments for children with ASD.…”

Externalizing behaviors and impairments in communication and adaptive functioning are the core defining features of the autism spectrum disorder (ASD). They are also the primary focus of interventions for children with ASD, as these conditions impact both the child's adaptive behavior and parental mental health. This study examined the effectiveness of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) utilizing a case study of a 4-year-old boy diagnosed with ASD and comorbid disruptive behavior disorder. Behavioral observation data and psychometric tools with ecological validity were used across all assessments to evaluate intervention outcomes as assessed by the caregiver and the teacher. Results of both caregiver and teacher reports and observations indicated that 1) PCIT was effective in decreasing disruptive behaviors and improving parenting skills while reducing parental stress, and that 2) intervention gains had been maintained at the 3-month follow-up. Although the nature of this single case experimental study is a limitation, this article replicates and advances previous research examining PCIT success with children with autism and their parents while providing clinical implications for improving children's adaptive behavior in a short time.
