简要总结
The primary goal of this study is to identify efficacious and cost effective intervention strategies that can improve academic and psychological outcomes for children with ASD, and can be feasibly be implemented at fidelity by school personnel in under served elementary schools. Two simultaneous interventions will occur.
In intervention 1, students with ASD in inclusion classrooms will be randomized to the Playground Intervention or a waitlist control group. In the Playground Intervention, UCLA/ROC/UPENN staff will work with school personals (teachers, paraprofessionals) to increase peer engagement on the yard.
In intervention 2, students in special day classes will be randomized to the 'Schedule Tools Activities Transitions' Intervention (STAT) or wait-list control. In the STAT Intervention, UCLA/ROC/UPENN staff will work with teachers to implement behavioral strategies in the classrooms.
In both interventions, the conditions are: 1) Immediate treatment, where the training will begin immediately after baseline measures are completed. 2) Wait-list treatment, where the training will begin the follow school year.

结局指标
主要结局
Playground Intervention: Social Network Salience
时间窗: Change from exit to follow up (3 months later) in Playground Intervention Social Network
Playground Intervention: Social Network Measure. Based on the Cairns' (1994) method, participants will be asked to list all the names of children in their class who hang out together; this free-recall method is used rather than asking respondents to place each peer's name in a group, because the relative strength of students' tendency to recall classmates is an important indicator of the peers' prominence in the social structure.
STAT Intervention: Teacher Behaviors and Student's Engagement in the Classrooms
时间窗: Change from Exit to Follow Up (3 months later) in STAT Intervention: Classroom Observational Measure
STAT Intervention: The Classroom Observational Measure is an adaptive observational measure designed to capture teacher behaviors and student behaviors in the classroom that includes teacher's praises, behavioral control and student's on/off task behaviors.
Playground Intervention: Playground Peer Engagement
时间窗: Change from exit to follow up (3 months later) in the POPE
Playground Intervention: Peer Observation of Playground Engagement (POPE) measure. Peer interactions on the playground will be coded using an interval-observation schedule of every 40 seconds (with 20 second coding intervals). Interactive levels or states will be noted along with the presence or absence of discrete interactive behaviors during each coding interval.
