This study explored characteristics of children with autism with large intervention effects following a peer-mediated pragmatic language intervention, to devise algorithms for predicting children most likely to benefit. Children attended a 10-week intervention with a typically-developing peer. Data from a pilot study and RCT formed the dataset for this study. The POM-2 measured intervention outcomes. Children completed the EVT-2, TACL-4, and Social Emotional Evaluation at baseline, and parents completed the CCC-2 and CCBRS. High CCC-2 Use of Context and CCBRS Separation Anxiety scores and comparatively lower EVT-2, CCC-2 Nonverbal Communication and Cohesion scores predicted children with large intervention effects. Results can be used by clinicians to predict which children within their clinics might benefit most from participating in this intervention.
本研究探讨了在同伴介导的语用语言干预后具有较大干预效果的自闭症儿童的特征，旨在设计出最有可能受益的儿童预测算法。儿童与一名正常发育的同伴一起参加了为期 10 周的干预。这项研究的数据来自一项试点研究和 RCT。POM-2 测量干预效果。儿童在基线时完成 EVT-2、TACL-4 和社会情感评估，家长完成 CCC-2 和 CCBRS。高 CCC-2 使用语境和 CCBRS 分离焦虑分数，以及相对较低的 EVT-2、CCC-2 非言语沟通和凝聚力分数，预测了具有较大干预效果的儿童。研究结果可被临床医生用于预测他们所在诊所内哪些儿童最有可能从参与这种干预中受益。
