Low-dose naltrexone in

This study aimed to improve
understanding of interactions
between parent-child with autism
within two domains central
to autism; intersubjectivity
and social regulation. In this
qualitative study, the researcher
examined the Relationship
Development Assessment-
Adapted (RDA-RV) Coding Scales,
a novel observational measure
used to assess the quality of
interactions between parent
and child with autism, within
the context of Relationship
Development Intervention (RDI)
treatment and pretreatment.
The researcher used qualitative
content analysis to describe
each of the subcategories of the
RDA-RV Coding Scales within
the two main categories—the
Intersubjective Engagement
States and the Interactive
Regulation States. Eleven parent-
child dyads participated by
providing short video recordings
of parent-child interactions in
RDI guiding engagements and
a pretreatment video. With a
review of textual transcriptions
and video, the researcher’s
findings included three themes
that were tracked in each of the
four predetermined subcategories
of the Intersubjective Engagement
States. The themes found were:
(a) quality of affective connection/
relatedness, (b) quality of
communication, and (c) quality
of gaze. In addition, within the
four predetermined subcategories
of Interactive Regulation States,
three unique themes emerged:
(a) quality of monitoring and
aligning (b) dynamic-ness
(c) complexity of the shared
endeavor. The researcher
deconstructed each theme into
subthemes distinguishing each
subcategory as a different and
distinct level of interaction that
also related to the respective
main category. The researcher
formulated the findings into a
codebook to increase clinical and
research utility of the RDA-RV
Coding Scales. The results may
directly influence the assessment
and ongoing treatment of
developmental-relational
approaches, namely RDI, by
increasing the usability of the
RDA-RV Coding Scales.
