5 Introduc#on The PLAY Project was born out of despera#on. Pennsylvania and University of Michigan Pilot pre/post study published in the journal Au6sm 2007 (see references) Phase 1 Small Business Innova#ons Research (SBIR) Feasibility Study ( ) Phase 2 SBIR RCT Published: Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics J Dev Beh Pediatr. 2014; 35(8):
6 Overview Background and Review of Literature Need Parent- mediated, Developmental Rela#onship- based PLAY Project Model: From Prac#ce to Research to Prac#ce (With video examples) Research Design Hypotheses Methods Measures/Outcomes Research Results Discussion
7 BACKGROUND & REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
8 QuickTime and a TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor are needed to see this picture.
9 The Need The Na#onal Research Council (Lord et al., 2001) recommends intensive intervencon hours per WEEK of Engaging interven#on with a High adult to child ra#o (1:1 to start) Strategic and comprehensive Thus the many children with ASD need more intensive intervencon
10 The Need States are struggling to address the needs of young children with ASDs A majority of states (>30) require ABA/Behavioral methods (operant condi#oning) by law But ABA is hard to administer Not enough trained personnel Very high costs: $40-70K/child/year Difficult to implement with fidelity in community seings Recent reviews of state services reveal that too many young children with ASC are not receiving services* *Croen et al, Ruble et al,
11 The Need A major priority for health and educacon systems has emerged for: Evidence- based and effec#ve Less expensive and More easily disseminated forms of intensive interven#on for children with ASD Recent DSM V: Emphasis on Social Impairment Behavioral research on ASD largely focused on language and cogni#on, not social impairment. Parent- mediated, Developmental Rela#onship- based Interven#ons may have a role to play in ASD if shown to be effec#ve.
12 Parent- mediated Models Parent- mediated models olen focus on social reciprocity and improvements in development. Much less costly & more easily implemented because parents, once trained, do the interven#on PMM recognized as evidence based by the Na#onal Professional Development Center (Wong/Odom) Recent review* of PMM however showed good short term gains in interac#on but less effect on language, IQ, and au#sm. Only 3 studies lasted a year and none showed changes in ASD symptomatology. Conclusion: RCTs needed. Monitor parent stress *See Oono et al
13 Developmental, Rela#onship- based Interven#on Emerging research literature DRI (see refs). Do NOT use operant condi#oning such as Discrete Trial Training or other ABA type interven#ons. Focus is on following the child s intent in a co- regulated, dyadic way to promote func#onal (social interac#onal) development leading to improved language and cogni#on. DSM V focus on improving social impairment. More engagement, ini#a#on, reciprocal exchanges Values spontaneous interac#on that follows the child s lead and is playful and fun. Child loves being with people!
14 PLAY Project RCT The PLAY Project ConsultaCon Model Trains professionals to coach parents of young children with ASD to be child s best play partner Parent- mediated, developmental, rela#onship- based Opera#onalizes Greenspan and Wieder DIR theory Affect Diathesis Hypothesis Adult learning framework: Coaching, Modeling, Video and wriren feedback. Monthly 3- hour home visits and video feedback mid month. Consistent with NRC intensity Occurs in a community context One of the largest ASD RCT done in the U.S.
15 PLAY Project RCT Hypotheses 1. Compared to controls, PLAY Parents would improve in their interac#on skills 2. Parents would then facilitate improvement in children s interac#on, language, development, and ASD symptoms 3. PLAY parents would experience more stress b/c of demands to provide intensive interven#on 4. PLAY Consultants would show fidelity

87 DISCUSSION
88 Summary This RCT evaluated the PLAY Project Home Consulta#on (PLAY) program: parent- mediated, intensive, developmental, rela#onship based approach for young children ages 2.5 to 6 years old with ASD. Aler 12 months of interven#on the following aims using a rigorous Intent to Treat (ITT analysis) were demonstrated:
89 Summary 1. Consultants show fidelity to the model 2. PLAY parents interact with more skill Improved ability to sensi#vely respond and effec#vely engage their child. 3. PLAY parent do NOT suffer more stress and significantly reduced depression 4. PLAY children improve in their development: Improved interac#on with increased aren#on and ini#a#on Improved func#onal development Less au#sm symptomatology with PLAY children more than twice as likely to improve in their diagnos#c category.
90 ADOS Results First study using a parent mediated model to show improvement in au#sm symptomatology. These results must be interpreted with cau#on. Interpreted clinically 41% in the CS group and 53% in PLAY who were more mildly affected (ASD) improved enough to be categorized as non- ASD. 16% of CS and 31% of PLAY moved from more severe to mild (Au#sm to ASD) Not consistent with clinical experience.
91 ADOS Results ADOS is only one component of a dx eval...should never be used in isola#on... ADOS- G has been revised to improve dx accuracy. Categorical cut points might have led raters to interpret the test items such that slight changes in score cuased categories to be crossed leading to the incongruous results.
92 Depression Results This is one of the first rigorous, long term studies to show a reduc#on in depression following intensive interven#on. Up to 40% of mothers with a child with ASD report depression. PLAY offers hope, child becomes more responsive, parents mo#vated to put in the #me?
93 Parent Satisfaction Parent 1: "This intervention helped our child reach potentials beyond our expectations and we are grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this project." Parent 2: "We are so grateful to have had this opportunity. It has been so rewarding to watch our child's growth with a few critical changes to how we interact with him."
94 Study Limita#ons Language as measured by the MCDI and DQ as measure by the Mullen Scales did not differ by group. Most of the children in the study were lower func#oning. Many could not complete the Mullen. Future studies may need to enroll children by cogni#ve and/or language levels to find differences.
95 Study Limita#ons Interven#on group received similar community services making it difficult to assess PLAY as an isolated interven#on. Combining parent- mediated interven#on with other locally available services however may improve the comprehensiveness of services. PLAY added only 1 home visit and 1 mid- month feedback component to CS which makes it easy to implement in most community seings
96 Study Limita#ons Finally, in terms of study limita#ons parents were more likely to be married, berer educated, and of somewhat higher SES than average. May limit the generaliza#on of findings. On the other hand this was a real world test of the model in 5 diverse sites in the U.S.
97 Research: Implica#ons PLAY uses an efficient training model with high fidelity. Parents consistently and effec#vely applied the program. PLAY offers a low cost op#on for parents and society Thus, the PLAY Project Home Consulta#on model can be broadly and quickly disseminated To serve a growing, unmet na#onal need.
