This study aims to determine the validity and reliability of applying the coding strategy from the Brief Observation of Social Communication Change, a newly validated treatment outcome measure, to videotaped segments of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule. Results indicate strong reliability and validity of the Brief Observation of Social Communication Change ratings using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule segments in detecting changes in social communication over the course of treatment in young, minimally verbal children with autism spectrum disorder. Results also suggest that the Brief Observation of Social Communication Change, when applied to Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule segments, may be more sensitive in detecting subtle changes in social communication compared to the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule Calibrated Severity Scores. These results may support the application of the Brief Observation of Social Communication Change to pre-existing datasets of Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule videos to examine treatment responses.
本研究旨在确定应用新验证的治疗结果测量工具——《社交沟通变化简要观察》中的编码策略的有效性和可靠性,该策略应用于《自闭症诊断观察量表》的视频片段。结果表明,在检测自闭症谱系障碍的年轻、语言能力有限的儿童在治疗过程中社交沟通变化方面,使用《自闭症诊断观察量表》片段的《社交沟通变化简要观察》评分具有很强的可靠性和有效性。结果还表明,与《自闭症诊断观察量表校准严重程度评分》相比,当应用于《自闭症诊断观察量表》片段时,《社交沟通变化简要观察》可能更能敏感地检测社交沟通的细微变化。这些结果可能支持将《社交沟通变化简要观察》应用于《自闭症诊断观察量表》视频的现有数据集,以检查治疗反应。
