Monitoring Daily Mobility in Children With Autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often show motor abnormalities and sleep disturbances that affect behavior, learning, and family quality of life. Emerging technologies such as wearable devices and markerless systems provide accessible tools for gait and sleep assessment, with actigraphy recommended for long-term monitoring in natural settings. Evidence also …
Brain and Eye Markers of Facial Expression Recognition and Disorders Associated with Autistic Symptoms
In everyday life, it is necessary to adjust one's behavior and reactions in order to interact and communicate with others in an appropriate manner. This adaptation is done by taking into account the emotions of the people with whom we interact. This reading of emotions is done by using visible …
Dual Executive Function Training Package
Executive function (EF) refers to the cognitive processes that enable goal-directed regulation of thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Two interrelated domains are commonly distinguished: "cool" EF, which involves abstract cognitive processes, and "hot" EF, which involves regulation in emotionally or motivationally charged contexts. Children with special educational needs (SENs) frequently show …
rTMS for Depression in Young Adults With Autism
The current clinical trial is focused on evaluating the efficacy of rTMS for treatment of depression in youth and young adults (hereafter called transition aged youth, TAY) with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The motivation to undertake the current efficacy study is driven by: (1) the substantial impact of depression on …
AWARE: Management of ADHD in Autism Spectrum Disorder
This study is a pragmatic clinical trial examining the comparative effectiveness of two stimulant medications (methylphenidate and amphetamine) in the treatment of ADHD in children and adolescents with autism. Using a sequential, multiple assignment randomization trial (SMART) design the study will not only assess these two medications but also the …
DINO RCT - Treating Anxiety in Children With Autism
Anxiety is prevalent in young children, under 7 years of age, with autism. Yet, few studies have examined anxiety interventions for this age range, and only one anxiety treatment study has included young children with cognitive and language delays. Anxiety treatment models utilizing cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), adapted for children with …
NeuroCytotron in the Treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder
Preliminary Efficacy and Feasibility of Using NeuroCytotron in the Treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder
Intestinal Permeability in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
In recent years, increasing attention has been directed toward the role of the gut-brain axis in the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Among the multiple contributing factors, the integrity of the intestinal barrier appears to play a crucial role. Enhanced paracellular permeability ("leaky gut") may allow …
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Children With Autism
Although many children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) make significant progress in learning and their cognitive skills improve with applied behavior analysis (ABA), there are a significant number of children who show an absence or a plateau in various skills. Deficits in executive functioning are likely to be involved …
Gut-oral Axis Microbiome in Autism Spectrum Disorders
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopment disorder characterized by impairment in social interaction, communication, and behavior, as well as sensory challenges. In addition, secondary symptoms can appear, such as gastrointestinal disorders. Gut microbiota has an important role in the harvest of nutrients and energy from our diet. It influences …
