1 Conference on Autism and Developmental Disabilities A collaboration of: Programs in Special Education and the Department of Psychology Saturday, April 18, 2015 Student Union, Kissena Boulevard, Queens, NY REGISTRATION: 9-9:30 am CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS: 9:30 am 4:00 pm KEYNOTE ADDRESS 10:45 12:15 pm Preregister by April 5th for discounted registration! Key Ingredients and Common Elements of Research--- Based Practices for Early Intervention (1.5 BACB CEU) Laura Schreibman, Ph.D. Our increased ability to identify and diagnose children with autism at earlier and earlier ages provides us with both a huge opportunity and a huge challenge. Our knowledge of the significant potential benefits of effective early intervention urges us to take advantage of the early intervention window. The challenge is how do we best fill this window. While there is a substantial research base supporting the effectiveness of behavioral interventions across the lifespan of autism, research has demonstrated that these interventions may not be suitable for the toddler autism population now being served. This has led to two main modifications of behavioral interventions. The first is a move towards more naturalistic behavioral interventions, which are more child-directed and provided in more natural environmental contexts. The second is the integration of principles derived from developmental psychology that affect our choice of treatment targets, learning contexts, and leaning enhancing strategies. In fact, it appears that both of these approaches (behavioral and developmental) have evolved simultaneously in the development of early interventions. While several individual, branded, interventions have been developed and enjoy substantial empirical supports, these share common, key, elements that are crucial to effectiveness. All of these individual interventions fall under the rubric of Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions. This presentation will address common elements of these treatments, issues of implementation, and research needs for both behavioral and developmental science. BREAKOUT SESSIONS EARN UP TO 3.5 BACB CEUs FAMILY-PROFESSIONAL PANEL 1:15-2:45 pm Family Professional Partnerships: An Opportunity and a Challenge A panel of three will share their experiences and stories about both the challenges and the successes within the family/professional collaboration. Our panel will include: o Dr. Stephen Shore, Professor of Special Education at Adelphi University, also a person with Asperger s. o Ms. Niki Mirabella, MSEd in Special Education, and also mom to Gina Mirabella who has Smith-Lemli- Opitz Syndrome. o Ms. Susan McHugh, sister to a young man with an autism spectrum disorder.
2 Conference on Autism and Developmental Disabilities 2015 Conference Presentations Morning Breakout Sessions 9:30-10:30 am Using Video Models and Feedback to Train Newly Hired Direct Care Staff Lindsay Maffei-Almodovar, MS Ed, MA, BCBA, & Peter Sturmey, PhD The experimenter trained one newly hired direct care staff member to conduct conditioning the instructor as a secondary reinforcer, Multiple Stimulus Preference Assessment Without Replacement (MSWOR) and baseline assessments of skills using a multiple probes design across skills. Video models increased percentage of accurately performed steps for conditioning the instructor as a secondary reinforcer. The other two skills did not improve to mastery levels until the experimenter implemented a rehearsal and feedback phase of training. Training took only 165 minutes and 30 s of participant time. Implementing Activity Schedules Carol A. Fiorile, PhD, BCBA-D This workshop will provide attendees a background in empirically validated procedures for implementing Activity Schedules for students with ASD. Rationale for the implementation of Activity Schedules will be discussed, as well as the steps leading up the developing the student s independence in using a schedule. Discussion will also include different types of Activity Schedules. This workshop is designed as an introduction as to how to implement Activity Schedules for children with ASD and other severe developmental disabilities. How to Teach Eye Gaze to Improve Social Communication in Toddlers with Autism Spectrum Disorders Ivana Krstovska-Guerrero, PhD, BCBA-D Impairment in eye gaze is one of the earliest symptoms observed in infants later diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The eye gaze impairment negatively affects the learning process, including the development of early social-communication skills. This workshop will describe strategies to assess toddlers prerequisite skills for addressing social communication, teach eye gaze, and assess for generalization to early social-communication skills, such as requesting, joint attention, imitation, and affect. What are Work-reinforcer Schedules and How do they Affect the Performance of Children with Developmental Disabilities? Presenters: Colleen Kocher, MA, BCBA, Mirela Cengher, MA, BCBA, and Daniel M. Fienup, PhD, BCBA-D Recent research has examined how the distribution of responses and reinforcers within a session affects a student s performance and preference. Two basic response-reinforcer arrangements have been used. In the continuous work-reinforcer schedule, the student engages in larger response units (e.g., 10 worksheets) for a delayed, larger magnitude reinforcer (e.g., 10 M&Ms). In the discontinuous work-reinforcer schedule, the student engages in smaller response units (e.g., one worksheet), and each response unit is immediately followed by a smaller magnitude reinforcer (e.g., one M&M). This talk will review several recent studies examining these two basic schedules, with an emphasis on direct and indirect variables that can influence choice and performance. This area of research has implications for how to effectively and efficiently promote skill acquisition for children with developmental disabilities. Assessment and Treatment of Pediatric Feeding Disorders Laura Seiverling, PhD, BCBA-D, Christina Alaimo, MS This presentation will review pediatric feeding disorders, including their etiology, prevalence, assessment, and evidence-based interventions. Presenters will discuss the importance of treating selective eating or food refusal, and provide strategies for addressing these types of behaviors using behavioral principles.
3 Conference on Autism and Developmental Disabilities 2015 Conference Presentations Afternoon Breakout Sessions 3:00-4:00 pm Children with Autism and their Siblings: Building a Lifelong Relationship Presenters: Susan V. McHugh, B.A., Lauren A. Kryzak, Ph.D., BCBA-D, Nicole M. Neil, M.A., BCBA, Theresa Fiani, B.A., Daniel Fienup, PhD, BCBA-D, and Emily A. Jones, Ph.D., BCBA-D The sibling relationship is arguably the most significant of those we enter into with our peers, and is often the longest lasting. Behavior analytic interventions that target the social repertoires of children with autism as well as those of their typically developing siblings are necessary to foster successful relationships in sibling dyads. In this discussion, various measures of sibling interaction and perception of the relationship will be examined. Among the types of interventions for siblings, we will discuss the use of direct observations and self-report measures, as well as group constructs such as support groups and training sessions for typical siblings. SIBS Club A Program for Families of Children with Autism of Queens College will be discussed at this time as well. Using Treatment Intensity to Optimize Intervention for Children with Down Syndrome Presenters: Alysha Rafeeq, BA, Nicole Neil, MA, BCBA, and Emily A. Jones, PhD, BCBA-D Determining how best to meet the needs of learners with Down syndrome requires an approach to intervention delivered at some level of intensity. How treatment intensity affects learner acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of skills can help optimize the efficiency and cost effectiveness of interventions. It may be that etiology and characteristics associated with specific etiologies impact the effects of intervention and intensity. Many children with Down syndrome display poor task persistence, which may moderate the effects of intensity. For some learners with Down syndrome, it is possible that there is an optimum moderate dosage of intervention, past which, learners engage in greater levels of escape-motivated problem behavior and there are diminishing gains in acquisition rates. In a series of preliminary studies, we manipulated different aspects of the dose of treatment intensity and measured effects on skill acquisition using single-subject experimental designs (multiple-baseline and alternating treatments). Intensity varied in terms of number of opportunities per session, session duration, and spacing of opportunities (inter-stimulus interval). Matched responses within a skill area were randomly assigned to a level of intensity and acquisition compared. Results reveal lessons about what aspects of intensity to manipulate and how, selecting experimental designs, measuring multiple outcome measures, and the influence of learner characteristics. Through this approach we may begin to tease apart the relative contributions of different aspects of intensity on skill acquisition and determine the most effective intensity of early intervention for children with Down syndrome. Assessing and Treating Anxiety in ASD Presenter: Lauren Moskowitz, PhD, & Emily A. Jones, PhD, BCBA-D Despite the increased risk for anxiety disorders in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), there is a lack of research on the assessment and treatment of anxiety in this population, particularly for those with an intellectual disability (ID). Further, the relationship between anxiety and problem behavior has not been systematically investigated in children with ASD. Thus, we will describe a multimethod strategy for the assessment of anxiety and problem behavior in three children with comorbid ASD and ID. Additionally, we will describe a multicomponent behavioral intervention package used to treat the anxiety and associated problem behavior. The intervention package incorporated strategies from the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) literature for neurotypical children with strategies from Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Positive Behavior Support (PBS) for children with developmental disabilities. Behavioral Intervention to Increase Participation in Yoga and other Leisure Activities Presenter: Deb Gruber, Ph.D., BCBA-D Opportunities for children with autism to engage in organized leisure activities to the level of their typical peers are limited. This is unfortunate because such activities also provide social and communication opportunities with peers. Activities involving physical fitness combine the balance for social and body awareness. Effective behavioral strategies will be reviewed to help support children with autism in organized leisure activities alongside their typical peers. Broad Effects of a Social Communication Intervention Targeting Gaze Shift Theresa Fiani, BA, Holly Weisberg, BA, Ivana Krstovska-Guerrero, Ph.D., BCBA-D, Emily A. Jones, Ph.D., BCBA-D Children with autism show impairments in their gaze behavior and eye contact within the first 6 months of life. Impaired gaze behavior pervades children s socialcommunicative interactions. At young ages this is seen in impairments in basic functions of social-communicative interactions including requesting and joint attention. Gaze shift is a component of all social communication skills. Teaching gaze shift in a small sample of social communicative contexts may result in much broader changes. We will describe research examining collateral changes to a repertoire of social communicative behavior. Generalization to different requesting and joint attention contexts as well as across other social communicative responses (i.e., imitation) and changes in children s interactions with their mothers will be highlighted. Findings will be discussed in terms of gaze shift as a pivotal skill with future research questions posed about improving the effectiveness and efficiency of intervention, targeting other responses, and additional areas of collateral change.
