Researching autism interventions presents challenges including participant recruitment, measuring outcomes, methodology, and translating laboratory research into real-world applications. Autism is a spectrum disorder with varying symptoms and severity, requiring early interventions during critical developmental periods. While randomized controlled trials are considered the gold standard, they raise ethical concerns and often lack diversity, failing to account for how interventions impact different populations. Educators can help address these issues by collaborating more closely with researchers to provide classroom perspectives and ensure interventions are effective for diverse groups of students.
The problem with evidenced based intervention
- 1. The Problem with Evidenced Based Intervention 1) Key Points A. Researching Autism presents particular challenges including recruitment, how we measure outcomes, methodology and the conflict of how we move information and programs from the laboratory and create real world applications 2) Interesting Points B. Autism is a spectrum disorder and symptoms and severity can vary greatly. C. It is diagnosed very early in development so interventions need to be effective with participants in those early stages of development. 3) Does the team agree? D. The concerns raised about RCT are valid and concerns shared by most practitioners. Random placement and controlled trials raise ethical concerns for university settings where most research is conducted. E. The concerns regarding lack of diversity among research participants is concerning as youth from different socioeconomic, ethnic and educational backgrounds respond differently to psychosocial interventions. 4) How can we use this information to become better educators? F. We can become more involved in research projects. Let researchers know and understand what works in classroom.
