“…20,64 Introduction of augmentative and alternative communication systems to nonverbal children with ASDs does not keep them from learning to talk, and there is some evidence that they may be more stimulated to learn speech if they already understand something about symbolic communication. 61,62,65 Social Skills Instruction There is some objective evidence to support traditional and newer naturalistic behavioral strategies and other approaches to teaching social skills. [22][23][24][66][67][68] Joint attention training may be especially beneficial in young, preverbal children with ASDs, because joint attention behaviors precede and predict social language development.…”

Pediatricians have an important role not only in early recognition and evaluation of autism spectrum disorders but also in chronic management of these disorders. The primary goals of treatment are to maximize the child's ultimate functional independence and quality of life by minimizing the core autism spectrum disorder features, facilitating development and learning, promoting socialization, reducing maladaptive behaviors, and educating and supporting families. To assist pediatricians in educating families and guiding them toward empirically supported interventions for their children, this report reviews the educational strategies and associated therapies that are the primary treatments for children with autism spectrum disorders. Optimization of health care is likely to have a positive effect on habilitative progress, functional outcome, and quality of life; therefore, important issues, such as management of associated medical problems, pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic intervention for challenging behaviors or coexisting mental health conditions, and use of complementary and alternative medical treatments, are also addressed.

“…In 1 trial we found that targeted this population, children experienced improvements in language acquisition following the intervention. 40 In another, 41 Although some reviews found that applied behavioral analysis is a highly effective component of a comprehensive intervention in addressing IQ and communication skills, 19,42,43 it is unclear which other components affect which specific core deficits. 8 Research priority: Identifying the most effective strategies to impact the specific core deficits of ASDs (the "active ingredients").…”

Nonmedical Interventions for Children With ASD: Recommended Guidelines and Further Research Needs

et al. 2012

OBJECTIVE: To use the findings of a systematic review of scientific evidence to develop consensus guidelines on nonmedical interventions that address cognitive function and core deficits in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and to recommend priorities for future research. METHODS:The guidelines were developed by a Technical Expert Panel (TEP) consisting of practitioners, researchers, and parents. A systematic overview of research findings was presented to the TEP; guideline statements were drafted, discussed, debated, edited, reassessed, and presented for formal voting.

“…Given the study designs and sample sizes of the studies reported here, it is not surprising that only eight of 54 studies 18,19,30,31,33,40,50,56 reported statistical significance of their results. Further, there was often uncertainty about the psychometric properties of the outcome measures, leaving open to question the validity of the findings, or how the studies might be replicated.…”

Functional impairments can limit a child's ability to participate in the experiences of childhood. This‘deprivation’can, in turn, have a negative effect on such children's development, academic performance, and quality of life, as well as on the lives of their caregivers and families. Many adults use assistive devices to overcome functional impairments and enable them to participate in daily activities; however, such devices may be underutilized by children. Each of the 54 studies reviewed in this report identified one or more functional impairments towards which an assistive device was targeted: accessing a computer (n=3 [studies]), activity assistance (n=2), behaviour changes (n=3), communication (n=30), independent feeding (n=1), living skills (n=1), mobility (n=9), modifying the environment (n=1), nutrition (n=4), and postural stability (n=2). The aim of this review was to determine the impact of assistive devices on the components of functioning defined by the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. The impact of these devices was found to be overwhelmingly positive. Study outcomes reported were mainly child‐focused and could be classified as influencing activity, participation, and personal contextual factors, with relatively little attention paid to caregiver‐focused outcomes. Few studies provided either qualitative evidence or experimentally‐based quantitative research evidence using controls.
