This is a pilot study of the effectiveness of Project ImPACT, a parent-mediated intervention for ASD delivered in a community program. The primary aim was to compare child and parent outcomes between the intervention group and a community comparison for 30 young children with ASD at baseline and 12 weeks. The secondary aim was to identify parent factors associated with changes in child outcomes. Results indicated significant improvement in child communication skills and a strong trend for parent intervention adherence for the intervention group from baseline to 12 weeks. Higher baseline parenting stress was negatively related to child social gains from baseline to 12 weeks. Findings provide further support for delivering parent-mediated interventions in community settings to children with ASD.
这是一项关于“积极行动项目”(Project ImPACT)有效性的试点研究,该项目是一项通过社区项目实施的由家长介导的针对自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的干预措施。主要目的是比较干预组与社区对照组中30名患有ASD的幼儿在基线期和12周时的儿童及家长的结果。次要目的是确定与儿童结果变化相关的家长因素。结果表明,从基线期到12周,干预组儿童的沟通技能有显著改善,且家长干预依从性有明显的上升趋势。较高的基线期育儿压力与从基线期到12周儿童的社交进步呈负相关。研究结果为在社区环境中对患有ASD的儿童实施家长介导的干预措施提供了进一步的支持。
