Few effective school-based interventions that target social-communication skills are available for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The growing gap between interventions designed for use in research settings and the school environment is concerning for researchers and clinicians alike. Research methods that incorporate relevant stakeholders (e.g., educators, early intervention providers [EIPs]) throughout the process from intervention design to implementation help to bridge this gap. This study used content analysis of interview data to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a specific peer-mediated intervention (PMI) for school use for young children with ASD. We explored educators’ and EIPs’ perspectives on evidence-based practice (EBP), the components of the proposed intervention (using Pivotal Response Treatment, PRT), and the overall acceptability and feasibility of using the intervention at school, through interviews with 29 participants (24 elementary school educators and five EIPs serving children with ASD). Results indicated that stakeholders had some knowledge of PRT and found the PMI approach to be acceptable and feasible. Several potential challenges were identified with respect to typically developing peers as intervention agents. We discuss educators’ specific recommendations for intervention adaptation and provide a model for researchers and educators to collaborate in promoting optimal use of EBPs at school.

同伴介导的自闭症儿童的枢轴反应治疗:提供者对学校可接受性,可行性和适应性的观点

对于自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的学生,很少有针对学校社交活动技能的有效的基于学校的干预措施。设计用于研究环境的干预措施与学校环境之间的差距越来越大,这对研究人员和临床医生而言都令人担忧。在从干预设计到实施的整个过程中,将相关利益相关者(例如,教育者,早期干预提供者[EIP])纳入其中的研究方法有助于弥合这一差距。这项研究使用访谈数据的内容分析来评估针对ASD幼儿在学校使用的特定同伴介导干预(PMI)的可接受性和可行性。我们探讨了教育者和EIP对循证实践(EBP),拟议干预措施的组成部分(使用Pivotal Response Treatment,PRT)的观点,通过与29名参与者(24名小学教育者和5名为ASD儿童服务的EIP)进行访谈,以及在学校使用干预措施的总体可接受性和可行性。结果表明,利益相关者对PRT有所了解,并认为PMI方法是可以接受和可行的。对于通常将同伴发展为干预主体的行为,发现了一些潜在的挑战。我们讨论了教育者对干预适应的具体建议,并为研究人员和教育者提供了一个模型,以协作促进学校对EBP的最佳利用。结果表明,利益相关者对PRT有所了解,并认为PMI方法是可以接受和可行的。对于通常将同伴发展为干预主体的行为,发现了一些潜在的挑战。我们讨论了教育者对干预适应的具体建议,并为研究人员和教育者提供了一个模型,以协作促进学校对EBP的最佳利用。结果表明,利益相关者对PRT有一定了解,并认为PMI方法是可以接受和可行的。对于通常将同伴发展为干预主体的行为,发现了一些潜在的挑战。我们讨论了教育者对干预适应的具体建议,并为研究人员和教育者提供了一个模型,以协作促进学校对EBP的最佳利用。
