“…Given the chronic nature of these disorders and associated long-term negative sequelae (Billstedt et al 2007;Kelly et al 2008;Sterling et al 2008;White et al 2009), more scientific attention on ASD in adulthood is warranted. Heightened public and scientific attention on autism and related conditions have contributed to methods for improved identification and diagnosis as well as effective methods of treatment, such as applied behavior analysis, pivotal response training, and school-based accommodations, to name a few (Naoi 2009;Ho 2008;Lerman et al 2008). Most of the available intervention programs target children and occasionally adolescents, but very rarely do they target adults on the spectrum.…”
One probable consequence of rising rates of autism spectrum disorder diagnosis in individuals without co-occurring intellectual disability is that more young adults with diagnoses or traits of ASD will attend college and require appropriate supports. This study sought to explore college students' openness to peers who demonstrate ASD-characteristic behaviors. Results showed a significant difference in openness between students who had a first-degree relative with an ASD (n = 18) and a gender-matched comparison group of students without such experience (F = 4.85, p = .035). Engineering and physical science majors did not demonstrate more overall openness. Universities should make efforts to prevent social isolation of students with ASD, such as programs to educate students about ASD and supports to ease college transition.

“…A análise do comportamento aplicada tem como destaque, pela frequência de emprego, a Terapia ABA 1 , que é o tipo de intervenção com melhores resultados na modificação do comportamento de indivíduos autistas (Howard, Sparkman, Cohen, Green, & Stanlislaw, 2005;Landa, 2007;Naoi, 2009;Smith, Mozingo, Mruzek, & Zarcone, 2007). O estudo de Howard et al (2005), por exemplo, comparou os resultados de intervenção de três Grupos de participantes que passaram por modelos terapêuticos diferentes durante 14 meses.…”
À professora Maria Martha Costa Hübner por ter sido uma luz durante sete anos de convivência. Obrigado pela confiança, parceria e orientação precisa. Obrigado, sobretudo, por resgatar este trabalho quando ele estava praticamente perdido.
“…The target skills for teachers were DTT and IT, two common procedures used in EIBI for children with ASD (Naoi, 2009). The teachers taught the students listener responses (i.e., identifying pictures) using DTT and manding skills using IT (i.e., vocally manding for preferred items).…”

Treatment integrity has a direct impact on early intensive behavioral intervention outcomes for children with autism (McDonald et al., 2017). In this study, we compared the effects of email feedback with an embedded graphic component to videoconference feedback on treatment integrity. Participants included 6 teachers who were providing services to children with autism in China. Using an adapted alternating treatment design, the experimenter associated each feedback method with a specific teaching procedure, either discrete trial training or incidental teaching. All teachers improved their integrity to criteria under the email feedback condition, but videoconference feedback produced faster mastery and better-sustained integrity after the removal of the intervention. The teachers preferred videoconference feedback over email feedback in terms of acceptance and effectiveness of the intervention, but they considered email feedback a more efficient type of feedback.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
