Étude internationale du développement cognitif et socio-émotionnel d'enfants atteints d'autisme à l'aide de la BECS / International study of cognitive and socioemotional development of children with autism using SCEB

Bernard, Marie-Anna 27 November 2015 (has links)
L'autisme est un trouble neurodéveloppemental universel, qui concerne tous les âges de la vie, niveaux de développement et pays. L'hétérogénéité des profils de développement de ces enfants classiquement étudiée concerne souvent soit les enfants sans déficience intellectuelle soit des fonctions cognitives et sociales précises. Notre objectif de recherche est de déterminer le profil développemental des enfants atteints d'autisme présentant un retard de développement important et issus de plusieurs pays. Nous faisons l'hypothèse que ces enfants présentent un profil plus hétérogène comparativement à des enfants typiques d'âge de développement similaire et quel que soit leur pays d'origine. Nous avons donc analysé les résultats d'évaluations développementales effectuées avec la BECS de 301 enfants avec autisme et de 121 enfants typiques issus de sept pays de trois continents (Algérie, Belgique, Brésil, Canada, France, Grèce et Espagne). Les résultats confirment la présence d'un développement plus hétérogène chez les enfants atteints d'autisme que chez les enfants typiques. L'existence de corrélations entre l'hétérogénéité des profils et des facteurs d'âge, de niveau de développement et de sévérité des symptômes est également mise en évidence. L'élaboration d'outils d'évaluation comme la BECS permet de mieux comprendre le développement des enfants avec trouble du spectre de l'autisme et déficience intellectuelle. / Autism is an universal neurodevelopmental disorder, that concerns all ages, levels of development and countries. The heterogeneity of developmental profiles of these children often studied classically concerns either children without intellectual disabilitiy or specific cognitive and social functions. Our research goal is to determine the developmental profile of children with autism with a significant developmental delay and from several countries. We assume that these children have a more heterogeneous profile compared to typical children of similar age of development regardless of their country of origin. Therefore we analyzed the results of developmental assessments conducted with BECS of 301 children with autism and 121 typical children from seven countries of three continents (Algeria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Greece and Spain). The results confirm the presence of a more heterogeneous development in children with autism than in typical children. The existence of correlations between the heterogeneous profiles and age, level of development and severity of symptoms is also highlighted. The development of evaluation tools like BECS allow better understanding of the development of children with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability.

Le développement précoce : quels indicateurs pour prévenir d'un trouble? / The early development : what indicators for the prevention of trouble ?

Jagodowicz, Johanna 25 June 2012 (has links)
De nombreuses recherches montrent aujourd’hui que des signes de psychopathologies peuvent être présents très tôt dans le développement de l’enfant. L’étude approfondie du développement précoce s’avère ainsi essentielle, dans un souci de prévention et de prise en charge précoce. La présente étude a pour objectif, d’une part, d’identifier des éléments du développement précoce de l’enfant pouvant nous alerter quant à un risque éventuel de développer un trouble du développement et, d’autre part, d’identifier des éléments spécifiques au développement précoce des enfants ultérieurement diagnostiqués avec Trouble Envahissant du Développement (TED) ou trouble du développement (autre que TED). Dans ce but, nous avons, dans un premier temps, évalué le développement socio-émotionnel et cognitif de vingt enfants entre 12 et 24 mois, en lien avec les signes d’autisme et de retrait relationnel. Pour ce faire, trois outils spécifiques ont été utilisés : la BECS (« Batterie d’Évaluation du développement Cognitif et Socio-émotionnel », Adrien, 2007), l’ADBB (« Alarme Détresse Bébé », Guédeney et Fermanian, 2001), et l’ECA-N (Échelle d’ « Évaluation des Comportements Autistiques- Nourrisson », Sauvage, 1988 ; Adrien, et al., 1989, 1992). Il apparaît quatre sous-groupes d’enfants, qui se distinguent par trois caractéristiques, identifiées comme étant les plus discriminantes : l’âge de développement, l’hétérogénéité du développement socio-émotionnel, et les signes d’autisme. Dans un second temps, 10 à 32 mois après, une évaluation diagnostique a été réalisée pour la moitié de notre population. Cette évaluation nous permet d’établir des trajectoires développementales spécifiques pour chacun de nos quatre sous-groupes. Il apparait que la présence et le nombre de critères développementaux (parmi les trois identifiés), ainsi que le type de critère(s) nous informeraient quant à la probabilité ou non de développer un trouble, ainsi que le type de trouble vers lequel pourrait se diriger le développement de l’enfant. Enfin, certains éléments du développement et du comportement précoce des enfants ultérieurement diagnostiqués avec Trouble Envahissant du Développement ou avec trouble du développement (autre que TED) apparaissent comme caractéristiques. / There is substantial evidence that signs of psychopathology may appear very early in child development. A comprehensive evaluation of the child early development seems to be essential in order to implement prevention and early intervention strategies. This study aims to identify some specific elements of early development that could alert of a potential risk of developmental disorder, as well as particular elements of the development of infants subsequently diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or with developmental disorder (other than PDD). In a first moment, we evaluated the cognitive and socio-emotional development, in particular signs of social withdrawal and of autism, of 20 infants between 12 and 24 months of age. Three specific tools were used: the SCEB (“Social Cognitive Evaluation Battery”, Adrien, 2007), the ADBB (« Alarm Distress Baby Scale », Guédeney et Fermanian, 2001), and the IBSE (« Infant Behavioral Summarized Evaluation » Sauvage, 1988; Adrien, et al., 1989, 1992). Four sub-groups of children were identified, distinguished by three characteristics appearing to be the most distinctive: developmental level, heterogeneity of socio-emotional development, and signs of autism. In a second stage, from 10 to 32 months later, a diagnostic evaluation was performed for half of our population. This evaluation enabled to establish specific developmental trajectories, for each of our four sub-groups. Results show that the presence and the number of developmental criteria (among the three identified), along with the type of criteria, in early development, might inform of the probability of developing (or not) a disorder, as well as the kind of disorder that could possibly be further developed. Furthermore, some of the data about the development and the behavior of infants subsequently diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or with developmental disorder seem to be characteristics.

Teacher Biases as an Influence on Early Childhood Assessments

Mason, Crystal 01 January 2019 (has links)
Teacher perspectives and judgments of students' race and gender are known to influence their assessment of primary and secondary students' academic achievements. However, little is known about the effect on children's academic achievement of preschool teacher perspectives and judgments of students' race and gender, which forms the basis for this study. The purpose of this study was to analyze teacher assessment of preschool children's mathematics and science skills on the Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP) and Teacher Strategies GOLD (TSG), along with teacher comments written in preparation for each child's parent-teacher conference, to determine if there was a relationship between preschool teachers' assessment and comments and the race and gender of the child. Wason's theory of confirmation bias formed the theoretical foundation of this study. The research questions addressed the relationship between preschool teacher assessments recorded on the DRDP and TSG regarding children's mathematics and science skill and teacher comments coded from Racasens linguistic model and those children's race and gender. Archival data from 2 Head Start centers in a western and southwestern state were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test, and the point-biserial Pearson correlation. The Mann-Whitney U test found no statistically significant differences in DRDP and TSG scores by students' race and gender. The point-biserial Pearson correlation found no statistically significant correlation between race or gender and teacher comments. This study contributes to positive social change by confirming observational assessments to be free from teacher bias, supporting their continued use with preschool children to promote their learning and development.

Nové přístupy k diagnostice dětského autismu. / New approaches to the diagnosis of autism.

Beranová, Štěpánka January 2018 (has links)
Objectives: Within the last decade there has been growing emphasis on early diagnosis of autism. It has been proved, that early diagnosis of autism followed by an appropriate intensive intervention lead to the reduction of autistic psychopathology and significant improvement of the child's prognosis. Efforts to identify children at risk of autism as early as possible resulted in the development of many screening tools and some new diagnostic methods that could be used even before the age of two years. Despite many attempts of the researchers worldwide, we still lack general agreement on the optimal screening method. Abnormal sensory symptoms have a specific position among the early signs of autism. Difficulties with sensory processing have been associated with autism since it was first defined as a diagnosis; nevertheless evaluation of sensory symptoms is under-represented in autism screening tools. There has been a long lasting debate whether sensory symptoms are a component of core autistic deficits or a co-morbid phenomenon, however, new version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) has already included sensory dysfunction among the diagnostic criteria of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Methods: Over 90% of children with autism have sensory abnormalities and present with...
