Application of the participation-based therapy for autistic children with moderate and high support needs: Two case reports
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Children on the Autism Spectrum often experience restrictions in participation due to social and functional limitations as well as environmental barriers. Participation-based therapy (PBT) is a goal-oriented, family-centered, and solution-focused approach to optimize daily participation. The case reports presented the process and outcomes of a 12-week PBT in promoting community participation of two autistic children with moderate and high support needs aged 7 and 8 years. The mothers of both children were actively engaged in the intervention process. Outcome measures, the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS), were conducted pre-intervention, post-intervention at 12 weeks, and follow-up at 24 weeks. In terms of outcomes, one child showed improvement in COPM scores and achieved the expected level of attainment in GAS after the intervention and at follow-up. The other child demonstrated slower progress in COPM but reached the expected level of attainment in GAS by the follow-up assessment. The case reports provided initial support for the immediate and sustained effects of PBT on community participation of autistic children.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
