This book was released on 2013-02-03 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders at a staggering rate—as many as one in 110, according to some studies. To this sobering statistic add the familiar figures of the toddler disengaged from his peers, the middle schooler shunned in the lunchroom, and the adult struggling with social cues on the job, and professionals are faced with a mounting challenge: to assist and support young people with these disorders to ensure their successful transition to adolescence and adulthood. The first volume dedicated solely to its topic, Interventions for Autism Spectrum Disorders provides a comprehensive overview of programs currently in use. Contributors explore programs focusing on long-term outcomes, home- and classroom-based strategies, resilience training for parents, and pharmacological management of symptoms. Background chapters review issues in reliability and validity of interventions and evaluating treatment effectiveness. And an especially cogent chapter discusses the centrality of treatment integrity to best practice. Comprehensive programs and targeted interventions covered include: The Early Start Denver Model for young children. The TEACCH program for children, adults, and families. The Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD) and CARD eLearning. PROGress: a program for remediating and expanding social skills. Evidence-based strategies for repetitive behaviors and sensory issues. Self-regulation strategies for students with autism spectrum disorders. Interventions for Autism Spectrum Disorders is an essential resource for researchers, professionals/practitioners, and clinicians in a wide array of fields, including clinical child, school, and developmental psychology; child and adolescent psychiatry; education; rehabilitation medicine/therapy; social work; and pediatrics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotional and behavioral problems in childhood can generally be accounted for by two overarching factors: externalizing problems, including aggression and hyperactivity, and internalizing problems, including anxiety and social withdrawal. Comorbidity between internalizing and externalizing problems is surprisingly common and is associated with particularly severe and chronic maladjustment, yet little is known about when and why internalizing-externalizing comorbidity emerges. This dissertation consists of two studies investigating the development of internalizing, externalizing, and comorbid problems in young school-aged children. Both studies drew on a sample of 336 children from an urban school district who were over-sampled for aggressive/oppositional behavior problems and followed longitudinally from kindergarten to 2nd grade. In Study 1, an exploratory latent transition analysis was conducted to explore the developmental dynamics of aggression/oppositionality, hyperactivity/inattention, anxiety, and social withdrawal in kindergarten through 2nd grade. Four latent profiles were identified: comorbid (48% of the sample in each year), internalizing (19-23%), externalizing (21-22%), and well-adjusted (7-11%). High continuity was observed in symptom profiles across years, particularly for the comorbid profile. Additionally, internalizing children had a 20% probability of remitting by the following year, whereas externalizing children had a 25% probability of transitioning to the comorbid profile. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that a common vulnerability factor contributes to developmentally stable internalizing-externalizing comorbidity, while also suggesting that some children with externalizing symptoms are at risk for subsequently accumulating internalizing symptoms.Study 2 explored associations between 1st-grade childrens joint internalizing-externalizing symptoms and neural indices of social threat processing biases, measured as event-related potential amplitude differences to threatening versus neutral facial expressions. The results suggested that high-externalizing/low-internalizing children exhibit deficient automatic attentional capture by fearful faces and blunted biases toward sustained perceptual processing of threatening versus neutral faces. In contrast, high-internalizing/low-externalizing children exhibited greater automatic attentional capture by fearful faces. Finally, children with comorbid internalizing-externalizing symptoms exhibited more normative patterns of social threat processing. This suggests that social threat processing biases act as differential risk factors for externalizing versus internalizing problems, and they do not explain internalizing-externalizing comorbidity.

This book was released on 2024-03-28 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brain diseases such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease cause dysfunction in multiple body systems. Motor dysfunction, cognitive impairment, dysphagia, and emotion disorders are frequently observed in patients with brain diseases. As the dysfunctions are associated with alterations in the brain, brain imaging methods such as functional MRI (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) are essential for investigating the neural mechanisms underlying the dysfunction caused by brain diseases. Brain imaging methods are also critical for understanding the neural mechanisms for the effectiveness of therapeutic or rehabilitative interventions that promote recovery from brain diseases. The usage of these brain imaging methods would deepen our understanding of brain diseases and potentially translate this knowledge to improve effectiveness of rehabilitative interventions for brain diseases.

Download or read book Predictors of Parent teacher Agreement on Emotional and Behavioral Problems and Autism Symptoms in Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Their Typically Developing Siblings written by Elizabeth Ashley Stratis and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the assessment of psychological functioning in youth, it is considered a gold standard to elicit information from multiple informants. However, agreement between informants is not perfect, typically falling in the moderate range. These discrepancies between informants reflect, in part, contextual variations in children's behavior. However, for typically developing (TD) youth, several variables predict these discrepancies, including child and parent demographic characteristics. Despite being widely studied in TD youth, few consistent predictors have been identified, which may be related to differences in methodology across studies. Additionally, limited information is currently available regarding predictors of informant agreement in youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study utilized data from the Simons Simplex Collection (SSC), which provided a large and well-characterized sample of youth with ASD and their TD siblings. Parent-teacher agreement was investigated on the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) and the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS). Agreement consistently fell in the moderate range for both scales. While parent-teacher agreement was higher for externalizing problems than internalizing problems for TD siblings, agreement was fairly consistent across these types of behavioral concerns for youth with ASD. Three types of parent-teacher discrepancy scores were investigated; the standardized difference score showed equivalent agreement with both parent and teacher original ratings, while the raw and residual difference scores showed differential agreement. A variety of clinical and demographic variables were considered as predictors of these discrepancy scores, and results varied across youth with ASD and their TD siblings. For children with ASD, child IQ, parent reported emotional and behavioral problems, and parent and teacher reported ASD symptoms predicted parent-teacher agreement on the ASEBA scales. On the SRS, child IQ, child receptive language, clinician rated ASD symptoms, adaptive behavior, and parent and teacher reported emotional and behavioral problems were significant predictors of parent-teacher agreement. For TD siblings, parent and teacher reported ASD symptoms, and parental race and education were the only consistent predictors of parent-teacher agreement on the ASEBA scales. On the SRS, child sex, child race, parent and teacher rated emotional and behavioral problems, parental education, and parental broader autism phenotype characteristics were predictors of parent-teacher agreement. This study highlights that the magnitude of parent-teacher agreement is similar across children with ASD and TD children, although patterns of agreement vary across these populations. Further, the factors that influence parent-teacher agreement on emotional and behavioral problems and ASD symptoms vary across children with ASD and TD children. This implies that past research in TD children cannot be simply extended to children with ASD, and further research is needed to clarify what factors are associated with informant agreement in children with ASD to identify when the use of multiple informants is the most critical. Findings in this study also suggest that rater bias impacts informant ratings for both children with ASD and their TD siblings; further research is warranted to understand how characteristics of the informant impact ratings of emotional and behavioral problems and ASD symptoms.

Abstract: Previous research demonstrates an uneven pattern of cognitive abilities in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This study examined whether this uneven pattern exists in preschool children. Participants include 24 children with high-functioning ASD and 28 typically developing (TD) children aged 4 to 6 with comparable average age and development level. No significant group difference in cognitive abilities was found between the ASD and TD group on the MANOVA. Patterns of cognitive functioning found include better performance on memory, weaker performance on language comprehension and expression, fine motor and speed of processing. Nonverbal and visual motor abilities were comparable between groups. Language expression was less impaired than language comprehension, and fine motor abilities were correlated with more cognitive abilities.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Emotion Dysregulation written by Theodore P. Beauchaine and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-02 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotion dysregulation, which is often defined as the inability to modulate strong negative affective states including impulsivity, anger, fear, sadness, and anxiety, is observed in nearly all psychiatric disorders. These include internalizing disorders such as panic disorder and major depression, externalizing disorders such as conduct disorder and antisocial personality disorder, and various others including schizophrenia, autism, and borderline personality disorder. Among many affected individuals, precursors to emotion dysregulation appear early in development, and often predate the emergence of diagnosable psychopathology. The Oxford Handbook of Emotion Dysregulation brings together experts whose work cuts across levels of analysis, including neurobiological, cognitive, and social, in studying emotion dysregulation. Contributing authors describe how early environmental risk exposures shape emotion dysregulation, how emotion dysregulation manifests in various forms of mental illness, and how emotion dysregulation is most effectively assessed and treated. Conceptualizing emotion dysregulation as a core vulnerability to psychopathology is consistent with modern transdiagnostic approaches to diagnosis and treatment, including the Research Domain Criteria and the Unified Protocol, respectively. This handbook is the first text to assemble a highly accomplished group of authors to address conceptual issues in emotion dysregulation research, define the emotion dysregulation construct across levels of cognition, behavior, and social dynamics, describe cutting edge assessment techniques at neural, psychophysiological, and behavioral levels of analysis, and present contemporary treatment strategies.

Download or read book Parenting Stress written by Kirby Deater-Deckard and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All parents experience stress as they attempt to meet the challenges of caring for their children. This comprehensive book examines the causes and consequences of parenting distress, drawing on a wide array of findings in current empirical research. Kirby Deater-Deckard explores normal and pathological parenting stress, the influences of parents on their children as well as children on their parents, and the effects of biological and environmental factors. Beginning with an overview of theories of stress and coping, Deater-Deckard goes on to describe how parenting stress is linked with problems in adult and child health (emotional problems, developmental disorders, illness); parental behaviors (warmth, harsh discipline); and factors outside the family (marital quality, work roles, cultural influences). The book concludes with a useful review of coping strategies and interventions that have been demonstrated to alleviate parenting stress.
