          Abstract

          Los estudiantes dotados y talentosos que son diagnosticados con trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) tienen múltiples necesidades. Sus perfiles académicos y cognitivos son generalmente muy diferentes a los de su desarrollo social, a sus perfiles de comunicación, de comportamiento y de funcionamiento adaptativo, lo que puede ser un desafío para los profesores y profesionales que trabajan con esta población de estudiantes. El propósito de este artículo es resumir los actuales planteamientos diagnósticos, terapéuticos y educativos basados en la evidencia empírica, para trabajar con estudiantes dotados con TEA. Las intervenciones terapéuticas que parecen más prometedoras para los estudiantes con TEA incluyen intervenciones cognitivo-conductuales, a pesar de que la revisión de su eficacia en estudiantes dotados con TEA es inexistente. Las intervenciones psicoeducativas efectivas adoptan un enfoque multi-nivel, donde se programa en base a las fortalezas cognitivas y académicas, al mismo tiempo que se considera la constelación de dificultades de la persona a nivel comunicacional, social, y conductual.

          Translated abstract

          Gifted and talented students who are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have multifaceted needs. Their cognitive and academic profiles are typically very different from their social, communication, behavioral, and adaptive functioning profiles, which can be challenging to educators and professionals who work with this population of learners. The purpose of this article is to summarize the current diagnostic, therapeutic, and psychoeducational research-based approaches to working with gifted students with ASD. Therapeutic interventions that appear most promising for students with ASD include behavioral and cognitive behavioral interventions, yet research specifically examining effectiveness for high ability students with ASD is nonexistent. Effective psychoeducational interventions take a multi-tiered approach where cognitive and academic strengths are programmed for while simultaneously addressing the students’ constellation of individual communication, social, and behavioral difficulties.

            A multi-component social skills intervention for children with Asperger syndrome: the Junior Detective Training Program.

            The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a new multi-component social skills intervention for children with Asperger syndrome (AS): The Junior Detective Training Program. This 7-week program included a computer game, small group sessions, parent training sessions and teacher handouts. Forty-nine children with AS were recruited to participate and randomly assigned to intervention (n = 26) or wait-list control (n = 23) conditions. Relative to children in the wait-list group, program participants showed greater improvements in social skills over the course of the intervention, as indicated by parent-report measures. Teacher-report data also confirmed that children receiving the intervention made significant improvements in social functioning from pre- to post-treatment. Treatment group participants were better able to suggest appropriate emotion-management strategies for story characters at post-intervention than at pre-intervention, whereas control participants were not. However, there was no difference in the improvements made by children in the intervention and control conditions on facial expression and body-posture recognition measures. Follow-up data suggested that treatment gains were maintained by children at 5-months post-intervention. The Junior Detective Training Program appeared to be effective in enhancing the social skills and emotional understanding of children with AS. Limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.

              A randomized controlled trial of a cognitive behavioural intervention for anger management in children diagnosed with Asperger syndrome.

              The purpose of the study described was to evaluate the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioural intervention for anger management with children diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. Forty-five children and their parents were randomly assigned to either intervention or wait-list control conditions. Children in the intervention participated in six 2-h weekly sessions while parents participated in a larger parent group. Parent reports indicated a significant decrease in episodes of anger following intervention and a significant increase in their own confidence in managing anger in their child. Qualitative information gathered from parents and teachers indicated some generalization of strategies learned in the clinic setting to both home and school settings. Limitations of the study and suggestions for future research are also discussed.
