Multisensory Environment Room in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum DisorderAutism

To investigate the effect of multisensory environment room on behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder age 3-5 years old. The children will be randomized into 2 groups: the experimental and the control group. The control group will be educated about the autistic and hoe program training. The intervention group will got the same educational program as the control group plus training in multisensory room environment once a week for 10 weeks. The outcome measurement was done as the before intervention, at the 5th and 10th week.

Effect of Virtual Reality-based Training on Balance and Walking in Youth With Autism Spectrum Disorder...

Autism Spectrum Disorder

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of short-term (3 days/week for 2 weeks) Virtual Reality (VR) active video gaming intervention on static and dynamic balance, versus traditional balance training exercises, in youth with ASD. The participants in the intervention group will engage in VR active video gaming using the Nintendo Switch Sports under supervision via Zoom for 6 sessions occurring over 2 weeks, from their home. While, the participants in the control group will engage in standard physical therapy exercises for balance and walking under supervision via Zoom, for 6 sessions occurring over 2 weeks, from their home. Their balance and walking will be assessed 3 times, 3-5 days before the intervention, 3-5 days after the intervention and 4-weeks after the intervention. Participants static balance will be assessed by standing on pressure mat, under 2 conditions, eyes open and eyes closed for 30 seconds each. The Pediatric Berg's balance Scale (PBS), a 14-point scale containing everyday activities, will be used as a clinical measure for assessing the static and dynamic balance. 13-infra-red camera motion capture system, Qualisys, will be used for assessing the walking. The difference in the balance and walking parameters will be assessed and compared.

Establish the Couple Intervention Program for Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder

The development of adult intimate relationships and the transition into couplehood are part of most people's life cycles, but these transitions become very challenging for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in as much as social interactions, emotional communication, and reciprocity, which are essential for interpersonal relationships, are made more difficult due to the condition itself. In the Adult ASD Clinic of National Taiwan University Hospital, we observe that the wives of the ASD husband suffer from long-term frustration, loneliness and helplessness, and are frequently experience anxiety and depression, that in turns changes the family's function and impacts on children's mental health. To date, there are limited intervention models focusing on couple therapy for ASD adults (or neurodiverse couple). Given the strong needs of clinical service, this study aims to identify the common problems of the ASD couples and develop a program to improve their partner relationships.

Optimizing Outcomes for Young Autistic Children

AutismAutism Spectrum Disorder

The overarching goal of the proposed study is to: (a) determine how best to sequence two parent-mediated interventions: a social communication intervention (Project ImPACT, Improving Parents as Communication Teachers) and a disruptive behavior intervention (Parent Training for Disruptive Behavior) and (b) examine moderators and mediators of intervention outcomes.

Deep Brain Stimulation in Children With Autism

Autism Spectrum DisorderSelf-Injurious Behavior

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and possible effectiveness of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the nucleus accumbens in children with autism spectrum disorder and treatment-refractory, repetitive self-injurious behavior. Six (6) patients will be recruited and enrolled in this pilot study and study duration for each patient will be one (1) year. All will undergo surgical implantation of the Medtronic DBS system and will receive stimulation of the nucleus accumbens (2 electrodes per patient).This will be an open, non-blinded, non-randomized, pilot, phase I trial.Expected study duration is 36 months.

Safety and Efficacy of the Transfusion of UCB in Patients With an ASD Depending on the Degree of...

Autism Spectrum DisorderAutism

Autism is one of those disorders in Autism spectrum disorders (ASD), which characterized by social interaction abnormalities, impaired verbal and non-verbal communication, and repetitive, obsessive behavior, while the therapeutic effect of current treatments remains limited progress. The possible reason for ASD is neural hypoperfusion and immune dysregulation. The Human Umbilical Cord Blood Mononuclear Cells (hUCB-MNCs) have been shown to have the ability to modulate the immune response and enhance angiogenesis, suggesting the novel and promising therapeutic strategy. In this study, the safety and efficacy of hUCB-MNCs infusion will be evaluated in patients with Autism with regarding to HLA compatibility.

Community-based Adaptive Autism Intervention for Toddlers

Autism Spectrum Disorder

The proposed study (CAIT: Community-based Adaptive Autism Intervention for Toddlers) aims to determine the most optimal sequence of interventions for improving the social- communicative, language and cognitive outcomes of toddlers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The target population consists of 2-3 year-old children with ASD who receive community based, publicly funded early intervention in two authentic educational settings in East Harlem and the Bronx, NY known as New York Center for Infants & Toddlers (NYCIT). An expected 300 toddlers with ASD will participate with their community-recruited paraprofessional teaching assistants (TAs) and group leaders (GLs). The study aims to construct the most effective one-year, two-phase, adaptive intervention, in which intervention is individualized based on a child's initial response to intervention. Phase 1, from program entry to either 6 or 12 weeks (randomized), involves 60 minutes daily of an evidence based social communication intervention, JASPER (Joint Attention, Symbolic Play, Engagement & Regulation) delivered 1-on-1 to the child by the trained TA. At end of Phase 1, response to intervention is rated by the GLs for slow or fast improvements of joint engagement (a core deficit in the early development of children with ASD, and a significant indicator of good progress toward improving social communication and language). In Phase 2 (to week 24), toddlers responding slowly are re-randomized to continue with JASPER for 60 minutes per day or augment treatment with direct, structured teaching of social communication targets for 30 minutes and JASPER for another 30 minutes per day. Toddlers responding quickly are given 30 minutes of JASPER and 30 minutes of jasPEER (JASPER with a peer) to further improve socialization and social communication.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

This study will investigate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of RO7017773 in participants aged 15-45 years who have been diagnosed with ASD with a score of >/=50 on the Wechsler Abreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI-II).

3 Year Follow up Study of the IDEA Population

Autism

The aim of this study is to assess the efficiency of early treatment for ASD children 5 years after initial treatment. The early treatment implemented was 12 hours per week of ESDM versus treatment as usual during 2 years. This was done as an RCT, called IDEA. Children will now be included in IDEA-2 SCOLA, a three year follow up study.
