Comparison and item analysis of the MESSY for autistic and normal children.

Seventeen autistic children were matched for age, race, and sex with 17 nonautistic children, and group differences in social skills were assessed. Appropriate social skills and levels of inappropriate assertiveness/impulsiveness were assessed and evaluated using the Matson Evaluation of Social Skills with Youngsters (MESSY). Significant differences in both the appropriate and inappropriate social behaviors displayed by the two groups were found. The implications of these results are discussed.

The relationship between inattentiveness in the classroom and reading achievement (Part A): methodological issues.

Conclusions drawn from recent reviews of research concerned with relationships between child behavior disorders and learning difficulties highlight major methodological and analytical problems that have plagued empirical research in the field. This paper (Part A) identifies and discusses some of these problems, including those associated with the design and use of psychometric instruments, cutoff scores, and statistical modeling techniques. The paper provides a contextual rationale for the choice of methods and statistical models used in a large explanatory study of the relationship between inattentiveness in the classroom and reading achievement, reported in Part B.

[KES--training for parents of children with conduct behaviour problems].

Conduct behaviour problems are the most frequent problems in childhood and adolescence. They make special demands on parenting. Possible causes for the emergence and maintenance of this distinctive features can be summarized in a bio-psychosocial disturbance model. The parental educating behaviour is thereby usually not the cause of the childlike behaviour problems, but can stabilize initial behaviour problems. Parenting trainings are therefore considered as an effective possibility of intervention and prevention of childlike behaviour disturbances. In this article contents and effectiveness of the "Kompetenztraining für Eltern sozial auffälliger und aufmerksamkeitsgestörter Kinder (KES)" (Lauth a. Heubeck 2005) are to be represented. The KES is a secondary preventive parenting training, which is offered as an intensive short time intervention and accomplished in groups. The contents of the training fit with the individual problems of parents' everyday educating situations. In the available study this training is operate in three variants in order to examine differential training effects apart from the general effectiveness. The results show a general effectiveness of the KES. Burdens in family educating situations can be reduced likewise the experienced stress in the family. The results also indicate, that the parents of the group with behaviour exercises seems to benefit most from the training. They do not only speak about their problems (alternative treatment) or get suggestions for changes in the educating behaviour (group without behaviour exercises). They are also requested to practice the connected skills in the form of role plays and homework to be able to transfer into everyday life.

Concurrent validity of social subtype and IQ after early intensive behavioral intervention in children with autism: a preliminary investigation.

Three subtypes of autism based on social style have been proposed by Wing: active-but-odd, passive, or aloof. Previous research has shown evidence of an association between IQ and Wing subtype in untreated children and adults. Because IQ changes can accompany behavioral treatment, but often only for a subset of children, social subtype may be related to treatment responsiveness. We administered a social subtyping measure, the Wing Subgroups Questionnaire (WSQ), at various points in treatment to younger children than previously studied with autism in early, intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI). Thirty-seven children in EIBI (aged 39-71 months, amount of EIBI 0-44 months) were assessed to determine whether Wing's three proposed subtypes were found in this sample and whether subtypes were associated with current IQ and change in IQ after a period of EIBI. Results confirmed that all three subtypes were present and correlated with IQ after a period of intervention, as well as with change in IQ. Participants classified as aloof had significantly lower IQ scores and changes in IQ after EIBI than other children. Future studies should extend these findings by examining whether social subtype at pretreatment predicts EIBI outcome.

Family therapy for conduct disorders.

Low levels of parental skill and cooperation are the prominent roots of arrested socialization, and a lack of appreciation for intimate and gratifying human relationships is evident in children with CD. The relational problems are exaggerated further by the child's observation of chronic parental discord and internalization of a family image constructed around intrafamilial conflict and isolation. Skills deficits in parental and marital communication and problem solving and conflicts in these relationships play significant roles in producing family dysfunction. The low level of parental differentiation and identity formation plays a fundamental role in family dysfunction by interfering with the development of an adequate self-image, self-esteem, and internal codes of behavior in the child. The transmission of parental antisocial tendencies to their children is facilitated by the low level of differentiation between parent and child. Family treatment should focus on enhancing cooperation between parents and children and between parents as co-parents and as a couple. Enhancing parent management skills can undermine the use of coercive, punitive, and impulsive interactions in the families. The higher divorce rate in parents of children with CD should be addressed with parents directly and early in treatment with the hope of mobilizing the rehabilitative and cooperative marital forces. In terms of future directions, family studies should address and incorporate the expanding knowledge of biologic and psychologic characteristics of children with CD and the possible impact of such characteristics in undermining family development and integrity. Such investigations should include the following information: The role of sustained and intense aggression in some children on family functioning and development. The possible role of diminished response to punishment and excessive search for gratification in children with CD. The role of the child with CD in promoting marital and family discord and divorce. The role of neurotransmitters (such as serotonin) in the production of irritability, provocativeness, coercive family processes, and subsequent depression in the caregiver or the child. Effective models of intervention with children with CD in hospitals and residential treatment centers.
