“…ABA focuses on a behavioral approach, making it possible to simultaneously improve behavioral, cognitive, social, and communicative skills [ 19 , 20 ]. This system uses “reinforcement” (i.e., rewards) to motivate children with autism to learn new skills, as well as multiple trials that start with a prompt (i.e., antecedent) to execute the desired behavior.…”

Tele-Assisted Behavioral Intervention for Families with Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Randomized Control Trial

et al. 2020

Background: Telehealth is useful for both autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis and treatment, but studies with a direct comparison between teletherapy and traditional in-person therapy are limited. Methods: This randomized control trial—ISRCTN (International Standard Randomised Controlled Trial Number) primary clinical trial registry ID ISRCTN15312724—was aimed at comparing the effect of a tele-assisted and in-person intervention based on a behavioral intervention protocol for families with children affected by ASDs. Forty-two parents with children with autism (30 months to 10 years old) were randomly assigned to 12 sessions of an applied behavioral analysis (ABA) intervention implemented in an individual and group setting, either with or without the inclusion of tele-assistance. Pre- and postintervention assessments were conducted using the Home Situation Questionnaire (HSQ-ASD) and the Parental Stress Index (PSI/SF). Results: Substantial improvements in the perception and management of children’s behavior by parents, as well as in the influence of a reduction in parent stress levels on said children’s behavior through the use of a tele-assisted intervention, were obtained. Conclusions: This randomized controlled trial demonstrates the evidence-based potential for telehealth to improve treatment of ASDs.

“…In each room was a table, at least two chairs, bookshelves or cabinets with books, desks with computers, toys, and/or other teaching materials. The private agency was a clinic-based model (Leaf, Leaf, McEachin, Cihon, & Ferguson, 2017). Some interventionists provided paraprofessional support in school settings, and some children enrolled in the agency receive paraprofessional support in school settings.…”

The teaching interaction procedure is an evidence-based procedure that has been utilized for the development of social skills. The teaching interaction procedure consists of labeling the targeted skill, providing a meaningful rationale for the importance of the skill, describing the steps of the targeted skill, modeling the skill, and providing feedback throughout the interaction. Although the teaching interaction procedure has been used to teach a variety of social skills to children and adolescents diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other social and behavioral disorders, its use has not been evaluated for training staff. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of a teaching interaction procedure to teach 3 interventionists the skills to implement a teaching interaction procedure to target the development of social skills for children diagnosed with ASD. The results of a multiple-baseline design showed the teaching interaction procedure was effective at teaching all 3 interventionists how to implement a teaching interaction procedure.

“…In the absence of robust head-to-head trials between institutional versus home-based therapy, a hybrid approach may be advocated as an effective model. 10 Such a model would be effective at times when institutional therapy is disrupted as in the case of the current lockdown.…”

Coronavirus-2019 Disease (COVID-19) caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was declared as a global epidemic by World Health Organization (WHO) on 11 March 2020. 1 Lockdown was an unprecedented, emergency measure, which was adopted across several countries to prevent the exponential spread of the disease. India was placed under lockdown from 24 March 2020, which was extended till 31 May 2020 with subsequent gradual relaxation of restrictions. At the time of submission of this article (16 August 2020), a partial lockdown was in vogue in India. Lockdown is having profound repercussions on day-to-day functioning of people from all walks of life, including children. Children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) constitute a sizeable segment
