Naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder show evidence for effectiveness for specific social communication targets such as joint attention or engagement. However, combining evidence from different studies and comparing intervention effects across those studies have not been feasible due to lack of a standardized outcome measure of broader social communication skills that can be applied uniformly across trials. This investigation examined the usefulness of the Brief Observation of Social Communication Change (BOSCC) as a common outcome measure of general social communication skills based on secondary analyses of data obtained from previously conducted randomized controlled trials of 3 intervention models, Early Social Intervention (ESI), Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) and Joint Attention Symbolic Play Engagement and Regulation (JASPER). The subset of datasets from the 3 randomized controlled trials was created to examine differences in the BOSCC scores between intervention and control groups over the course of the interventions. Based on 582 videos from 207 caregiver–child dyads, the BOSCC noted significant differences between intervention vs control groups in broad social communication skills within 2 of the 3 intervention models, which were longer in duration and focused on a broad range of developmental skills. The BOSCC offers the potential to take a uniform measurement approach across different intervention models to capture the effect of intervention on general social communication skills but may not pick up the effects of some brief interventions targeting proximal outcomes.

对自闭症谱系障碍的早期干预实施统一的结果测量方法


对自闭症谱系障碍儿童的自然发展行为干预显示了对特定社会沟通目标（例如共同关注或参与）的有效性的证据。然而，由于缺乏可在试验中统一应用的更广泛的社会沟通技能的标准化结果衡量标准，因此结合不同研究的证据并比较这些研究的干预效果并不可行。这项调查检验了社会沟通变化简要观察 (BOSCC) 作为一般社会沟通技能的常见结果衡量标准的有用性，该研究基于对先前对 3 种干预模型、早期社会干预 (ESI) 进行的随机对照试验获得的数据进行二次分析。 、早期开始丹佛模型 (ESDM) 和联合注意象征性游戏参与和监管 (JASPER)。创建来自 3 项随机对照试验的数据集子集是为了检查干预过程中干预组和对照组之间 BOSCC 评分的差异。基于 207 个看护者与儿童的 582 个视频，BOSCC 注意到，在 3 种干预模式中的 2 种中，干预组与对照组在广泛的社交沟通技能方面存在显着差异，这些干预模式的持续时间较长，并且侧重于广泛的发展技能。 BOSCC 提供了在不同干预模型中采取统一测量方法的潜力，以捕捉干预对一般社会沟通技能的影响，但可能无法捕捉到一些针对近期结果的简短干预的影响。比较家长对患有自闭症谱系障碍的幼儿实施的干预措施； ; 。 对自闭症幼儿的强化干预（早期步骤）； ; 。自闭症幼儿的社交和沟通成果； ; 。
