Filter by:The hypothesis of the study is that photobiomodulation reduces symptoms of autism. Participants will be children between the ages of 2 and 7, who have been diagnosed with moderate to severe autism. Transcranial photobiomodulation will be administered to the children in the experimental condition twice a week for 10 weeks. Results will be measured through parental interviews, standardized CARS2 (Childhood Autism Rating Scales, 2nd Edition) and data collected from EEG.
Language is the system someone uses to communicate with another person. This covers the origins and construction of words, their definitions, and the use of language in various contexts. In normally developing children, receptive language skills are typically much more advanced than expressive language skills. However, some studies found that toddlers and kids with ASD had a relatively greater impairment in receptive language skills than in expressive language skills. The study will evaluate the ABLLS-R (Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills test) and Portage guidance and compare their effectiveness in developing the Receptive Language Skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (N=12). The study will follow the Randomized control trial study design and a purposive sampling technique will be used. Data will be collected from a special education centre BASES (Behaviour and special education services), Lahore. Children with autism spectrum disorder with mild to moderate severity level will be included in the study. The age range of the children will be from three years to seven years. Children with other neurological disorders or any comorbid conditions will be excluded from the study. The consent form will be filled out by parents of children who meet the inclusion criteria. The autism screening tool will apply by the speech and language pathologist. Half of the total number of children will receive therapeutic intervention under ABLLS-R protocol and other will receive Interventions under portage guide protocol. The data will be analysed by using SPSS 22 statistical software. The results of the study of both the groups will be compared and conclusion will be made on the basis of results. Receptive language skills are crucial for communication and social interaction. Research comparing these assessment tools can contribute to the development of more effective early intervention programs for children with ASD. By identifying the most appropriate assessment tool and intervention strategies, these programs can be better designed to support early language development and promote better long-term outcomes. By understanding the strengths and limitations of each assessment tool, professionals can create more individualized treatment plans for children with ASD
The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a designed training program for nurses toward early detection of developmental disabilities among children (0-3 years).
The goal of this interventional study was to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of online peer companion intervention (OPCI) on the social abilities and mental health of ASD children. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the acceptability and adherence of OPCI; 2. Whether OPCI is effective on the social abilities and mental health of ASD children; 3. What impact does OPCI have on ordinary children and parents of both children?
The mechanism of the motor problem in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in handwriting has been investigated in the following three aspects, including collecting dynamic handwriting performance, exploring the related underlying factors, and investigating corresponding brain activities. This study aimed to investigate the underlying factor of handwriting issue in children with ASD. There are four study aims. The first is to examine the differences of handwriting performance between children with ASD and TD using kinetic and kinematic measurements and handwriting difficulties questionnaires. The second is to investigate the group difference of the underlying motor factors, including fine motor ability and sensorimotor ability. The third is to explore the relationship between underlying motor factors and handwriting performance. The fourth is to explore the corresponding cortical activity during writing in children.
Linehan's biosocial model conceptualizes the factors at play in the development of emotional dysregulation (ED), that is, difficulty regulating one's emotions, in borderline personality disorder (BPD). The model explains ED as the result of the interaction between the person's biological emotional vulnerability and their exposure to early invalidating experiences from those around them. Recently, ED has been shown to be prevalent in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The objective of the study is to propose an adaptation of Linehan's model to the specificities of ASD to conceptualize the factors contributing to ED in the context of this disorder. To do this, the investigators will carry out a narrative literature review, as well as an illustrative case conceptualization based on the proposed model.
To examine the effects of posture, hand functions and sensory processing skills on nutrition in children with autism spectrum disorder. The study aims to include 40 children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), directed from the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Istanbul University, along with their parents/caregivers, and 40 healthy children along with their parents/caregivers.
Objective: Sleep and behavioral problems are common in infants at risk of autism. This study aims to examine the effect of Snoezelen-Based Occupational Therapy intervention on sleep and behavioral problems in infants at risk of autism. Design: Twenty-four infants (15 boys, 9 girls) at risk for autism were randomized to the intervention group (n = 12; 28.33 ± 6.52 months) and the control group (n = 9; 30.11 ± 5.20 years). The intervention group received Snoezelen-Based Occupational Therapy intervention in addition to the conventional 8-week sensory integration intervention, while the control group received only the conventional sensory integration intervention. Both groups assessed sleep and behavioral problems using the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BİSQ) and the Vineland Social-Emotional Early Childhood Scale (VSEES) pre and post eight weeks of intervention.
The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of video game-based lung volume increasing training on respiratory mechanics in children with developmental delays. Individuals with special needs are people who, for various reasons, show significant awareness at the level expected from their peers in terms of their individual characteristics and educational qualifications. Individuals with special needs constitute an important part of our country. Children with special needs may have respiratory problems that may or may not be recognized because they are not diagnosed, as well as decreases in respiratory capacity. Decrease in lung volumes may be encountered in children with special needs with various diagnoses such as neuromuscular diseases, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, autism, and Down syndrome. Pulmonary rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary program that balances or reverses the physiopsychopathology of pulmonary disorders and tries to help the patient reach high functional capacity as much as his physical condition and pulmonary disability allow. Chest physiotherapy, which is an important step of pulmonary rehabilitation, is a rehabilitation intervention used to reduce airway resistance, improve gas exchange and facilitate breathing in children. Active video game systems produced with the development of new technologies are used for the positive progression of rehabilitation, especially in young individuals who are extensive users of digital devices. For children who need a pulmonary rehabilitation program, active video game systems are preferred in the clinic as they increase the compatibility of the sessions and ensure continuity.
Children with ASD have poorer postural balance when compared to normal individuals. So, The aim of this study is to assess the effect of Virtual Reality on postural control in Autistic children
