“…Those children were diagnosed with ASD ( n = 248; [34, 36–40, 42–45]) or identified as being at risk of ASD based on either the presence of early markers ( n = 156; [10, 41, 46]) or because they were infant siblings of probands with ASD ( n = 80; [47, 48]).…”

Background. Now that early identification of toddlers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is possible, efforts are being made to develop interventions for children under three years of age. Most studies on early intervention have focused on intensive and individual interventions. However, parent training interventions that help parents interact and communicate with their toddlers with ASD might be a good alternative to promote the development of their child's sociocommunicative skills. Objective. This review aims to systematically examine (1) the use of parent training interventions for children with ASD under three years of age and (2) their effects on children's development, parents' well-being and parent-child interactions. Methods. Systematic searches were conducted to retrieve studies in which at least one parent was trained to implement ASD-specific techniques with their toddlers (0–36 months old) with a diagnosis of or suspected ASD. Results. Fifteen studies, involving 484 children (mean age: 23.26 months), were included in this review. Only two of them met criteria for conclusive evidence. Results show that parents were able to implement newly learned strategies and were generally very satisfied with parent training programs. However, findings pertaining to the children's communication and socioemotional skills, parent-child interactions, and parental well-being were inconclusive.

“…Because few studies focused exclusively on this age group, studies in which participants included some children aged .3 years were assessed as long as there was sufficient information to draw inferences about younger children. The group reviewed additional reports, which have not been listed in Table 1, including single-subject studies, [39][40][41][42][43][44] other relevant studies, 16,[45][46][47][48][49][50] metaanalyses, 51,52 and reviews. [53][54][55][56] Compared with early intervention models evaluated for preschool-aged children (aged 3-5 years), programs for children aged ,3 years were more likely to use developmental approaches, more intensively involve parents, and target social communication.…”

Early Intervention for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder Under 3 Years of Age: Recommendations for Practice and Research

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article reviews current evidence for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) interventions for children aged ,3 years, based on peerreviewed articles published up to December 2013. Several groups have adapted treatments initially designed for older, preschool-aged children with ASD, integrating best practice in behavioral teaching methods into a developmental framework based on current scientific understanding of how infants and toddlers learn. The central role of parents has been emphasized, and interventions are designed to incorporate learning opportunities into everyday activities, capitalize on "teachable moments," and facilitate the generalization of skills beyond the familiar home setting. Our review identified several comprehensive and targeted treatment models with evidence of clear benefits. Although some trials were limited to 8-to 12-week outcome data, enhanced outcomes associated with some interventions were evaluated over periods as long as 2 years. Based on this review, recommendations are proposed for clinical practice and future research. Pediatrics 2015;136:S60-S81

“…Three studies, focused on short-term interventions (≤12 sessions) for high-risk infants and toddlers, failed to identify effects on parents’ implementation of child-responsive strategies to children aged 8–25 months when compared to business-as-usual, or no-treatment groups (Carter et al, 2011; Green et al, 2013; Rogers et al, 2012). The remaining studies, most of which also were short-term interventions, identified intervention effects on parent responsivity during interactions with their child and/or on child behaviour.…”

Efficacy of early interventions for infants and young children with, and at risk for, autism spectrum disorders

With advances in the field’s ability to identify autism spectrum disorders (ASD) at younger ages, the need for information about the evidence-base for early intervention continues to rise. This review of the ASD early intervention (EI) literature focuses on efficacy studies published within the past 15 years. The neurodevelopmental context for early intervention, timing of initiating intervention, primary intervention approaches, and predictors of treatment outcomes are discussed. The evidence indicates that young children with ASD benefit from EI, and their parents learn to implement child-responsive engagement strategies when a parent-coaching intervention is provided. Evidence supports combining parent-mediated and direct clinician-implemented intervention to maximize child developmental gains. Clinical practice recommendations are presented, based on the literature reviewed.
