difficulty managing their emotions -> impairing function & leading to behavioral problems
What appears is the primary contributor/correlate of dysregulation in children with ASD?
✔✔Children w/ ASD engage in fewer beneficial strategies & strategies are less effective
overall
What is internalization of co-regulation? What does research suggest about how this
process operates for children with ASD? ✔✔-when the child can regulate themselves
based on the strategies their parents used to help the regulate emotions
-does not occur until 8 years of age
What are some of the potential consequences of emotion dysregulation in this
population? ✔✔-behavioral problems
About how common are externalizing (behavior) disorders in children with ASD? ✔✔-
prevalence = 8 - 68%

✔✔-female protective effect: girls w/ less severe symptoms either 1) mask better 2) girls
are innately better at language & social skills
What is meant by the term "evidence-based" or "empirically-supported"
practice/treatment? ✔✔-integration of best available research with clinical expertise
,-must contain: 1) experimental control 2) manipulation of IV, random assignment
What is the difference between efficacy and effectiveness? ✔✔-Efficacy: validity of
treatment
-Effectiveness (clinical utility): is the treatment generalizable, applicable, feasible, useful
What does it mean to consider individual differences in treatment selection? ✔✔-
determine what approach/services are likely to work given the child's age /
developmental functioning/ specific problems/ strengths / personality characteristics /
language / socio cultural context
How is it recommended that one balance utilizing the best available research vs. clinical
experience in their practice? ✔✔-start w/ best research, then use clinical expertise, if
have specific reason for changing use of it (ex: ABA treatment going from 35 hrs. a
week to 20hrs a week)
What are some of the main agreed upon goals of interventions for ASD? ✔✔1)Minimize
core deficits & co-occuring associated impairments
2) Maximize functional independence by facilitating learning & acquisition of adaptive
skills
3) eliminate/minimize/prevent problem behaviors that interfere w/ functional skills
What are some recommended elements that all good interventions for ASD should
include? ✔✔-treatments should be individualized, developmentally appropriate &
intensive w/ performance data relevant to treatment goals to evaluate & adjustment
intervention

long period of time (ex: ABA)
, -FTM: limited in range of skills & delivered over short period of time (JASPER)
What is the National Autism Center's National Standards Project trying to do? ✔✔-
designed to gather all ASD treatments and determine how efficacious they are
-established: well-studied, good evidence
-emerging: some studies, some evidence
-unestablished: either no studies, or no evidence
What do most of the interventions designated as "established" have in common? ✔✔-all
rooted in behavioral principles (use behavioral techniques)

-actuality: facilitator is source of message
What areas of development/functioning tend to be the focus of most interventions?
