Abstract:
A scoping review of the literature was undertaken using JBI guidelines to map the evidence of parent-led therapy (PLT) for young autistic children (≤ 6 years) raised in bilingual environments. Reviewers used Covidence to screen located sources. Sixteen papers met inclusion criteria. A strong acceleration of reports of PLT for young autistic children measured in bilingual environments was observed, with 93.8% of papers (n = 15) published since 2015. Reporting of participants\' language environments (home language(s)/L1s and societal language(s)/L2s) was inconsistent. A large majority of these studies, 87.5% (n = 14) were conducted in North America or in collaboration with a North American institution. Diverse PLT programs and methodologies were identified. There is variation in demographic information collected and outcomes reported. Evidence gaps in the literature are identified and the value of undertaking systematic review on this topic is considered. This scoping review points to the necessity of further empirical research and practice that centres parents in early and specific support for autistic children raised in bilingual environments. Suggestions for improving reporting standards of language profiles are provided.
摘要:
使用JBI指南对文献进行了范围审查,以绘制在双语环境中长大的年轻自闭症儿童(≤6岁)的父母主导治疗(PLT)的证据。审阅者使用Covidence来筛选已定位的源。16篇论文符合纳入标准。观察到在双语环境中测量的年轻自闭症儿童的PLT报告的强烈加速,93.8%的论文(n=15)自2015年以来发表。参与者的语言环境(母语/L1和社会语言/L2)报告不一致。这些研究中的大部分,87.5%(n=14)在北美或与北美机构合作进行。确定了不同的PLT程序和方法。收集的人口统计信息和报告的结果存在差异。确定了文献中的证据空白,并考虑了对该主题进行系统审查的价值。这项范围界定审查指出,有必要进行进一步的实证研究和实践,以父母为在双语环境中长大的自闭症儿童提供早期和具体的支持。提供了改进语言配置文件报告标准的建议。
