Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Operant Conditioning Intervention

Operant Conditioning Intervention

Operant conditioning serves as a foundational principle in therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying maladaptive behaviors. Central to this approach is the notion that behaviors, both adaptive and maladaptive, are learned through reinforcement. By analyzing the environmental factors that reinforce problematic behaviors, clinicians can design interventions to weaken these reinforcements and replace maladaptive behaviors with healthier alternatives.
In operant conditioning, behaviors that are...

Area of Science:

Pediatric Therapy
Behavioral Science
Health Informatics

Background:

Family-centered approaches are key in pediatric therapies, emphasizing caregiver involvement.
Home programs are vital for skill generalization but face adherence challenges.
Digital health tools show promise in improving adherence to health regimens.

Observation:

Caregiver behavioral modification during home programs was explored.
The SensoryTreat app was developed to support adherence in pediatric sensory processing disorder home programs.
App features, usage, adherence impact, and parental competence were evaluated.

Findings:

SensoryTreat usage frequency strongly correlates with family adherence to home programs.
App content relevance and usefulness significantly impact parental competence and adherence.
Using the app twice weekly boosts adherence; features like goal setting and feedback are crucial for sustained engagement.

Implications:

The SensoryTreat app demonstrates potential to improve family adherence in pediatric therapy home programs.
App design should integrate engaging content with features that foster long-term parental competence and adherence.
Future research should explore adaptive features to maintain user engagement over time.
