Common approaches to intervention for the support and education of children with autism in the UK: an internet-based parent survey

Visual supports at home and in the community for individuals with autism spectrum disorders: A scoping review

“…VS are one of the common, psychosocial interventions recommended across the lifespan, for autistic people (NICE 2011;NICE 2012;SIGN 2016;Denne et al, 2018;Pickard et al, 2018). They are either "low-tech": objects, photos, pictures, symbols, written words, or "high tech": on electronic devices.…”

“…VS are one of the common, psychosocial interventions recommended across the lifespan, for autistic people (Denne, Hastings, & Hughes, 2018; National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), 2011(NICE), , 2012Pickard, Meza, Drahota, & Brikho, 2018;SIGN, 2016). They are either 'low-tech' -objects, photos, pictures, symbols, or written words -or 'high tech' -on electronic devices.…”

Parent and Child Factors Predicting Early Intervention Choices of Australian Parents of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

“…However, Patten et al (2013) did not find any significant relationships between family income and the number of different services used, the use of sensory integration, or the use of alternative interventions. Additionally, Denne et al (2018) did not find any significant associations between household income and the use of any intervention examined. Due to these apparently contradictory findings, further investigation regarding the relationship between family income and intervention decisions would be useful.…”

“…(Salomone et al, 2015) reported that the use of the CAM interventions examined in their study were not associated with the child's age, relationships have been found in other studies. Bowker, D'Angelo, Hicks, and Wells (2011), Denne et al (2018), Goin-Kochel, Myers, and Mackintosh (2007), Mire, Raff, Brewton, and Goin-Kochel (2015), and Salomone et al (2016) all reported associations between the age of children and some variations in types of interventions used. Furthermore, Green et al (2006) found that more interventions were used with younger children and when the child was described as having 'severe autism' and fewer when the child was described as having Asperger syndrome.…”

“…In the future, researchers could include both participants who choose to use the most commonly used interventions for ASD, such as therapy-based interventions (Carlon et al, 2014), as well as those who decide not to employ these, to allow for examination of the possible implicit factors related to their use. Due to the anonymous nature of the survey, we relied on parental reports of diagnosis as opposed to obtaining documented confirming evidence, but this is a common practice in surveys of this type (e.g., Denne et al, 2018;Green et al, 2006;Salomone et al, 2015). Although the sample size in the present study was modest (N = 74), it was comparable with others in the area (e.g., Dardennes et al, 2011, N = 78;Patten et al, 2013, N = 70;Siller et al, 2014, N = 70).…”
