Study Summary

Auditory hyper-reactivity affects up to 66% of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and has been linked to greater stress and anxiety for children and their families. Exposure and Response Prevention (E/RP) is highly effective for reducing obsessive/compulsive behaviors in children with both OCD and ASD. This study is the first to assess the feasibility and efficacy of E/RP for auditory sensory hyper-reactivity in ASD.

Primary Outcome

The Subjective Unit of Distress (SUD) scale is a 0-10 scale used for the child and/or caregiver to report level of distress (i.e., pain, stress, anxiety, discomfort) before, during and/or after exposures to stimuli. We expect that SUDS levels will decrease over time indicating improved ability to tolerate auditory stimuli.

Interventions

  • BEHAVIORAL Exposure therapy
  • BEHAVIORAL Psycho-education
  • BEHAVIORAL Caregiver education/home program development
