Filter by:School-based behavioral approaches to managing challenging behaviors in children with ASD are limited by three key factors: 1) children with ASD often have difficulties communicating their emotions; 2) it is challenging to implement evidence-based, personalized strategies for individual children, and; 3) it is difficult for teachers to track which strategies are successful for individual children. The investigators' personalized mobile-health emotion regulation application (m-health app) will pair heart rate tracking with digital tools to help reduce challenging behavior by supporting stress detection, reminding teachers of specific behavioral strategies and helping teachers to track progress.
This project aims to: - explore the effectiveness of Neurofeedback therapy for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) - assess if cognitive functions are affected before and after Neurofeedback Intervention
This research is a case-control study aiming to characterize motor peculiarities (objective quantitative and qualitative measures) and its psycho-physiological correlates of children with ASD.
This study will evaluate the feasibility of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) with self-regulation impairment. Baseline and follow-up participant visits will include behavioral assessments of self-regulation and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine neurophysiological outcomes before and after rTMS treatment.
The aim of the study is to investigate the validity, reliability and clinical features of a Danish version of the Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale-Revised (RAADS-R). A self-reporting scale devise used as a supplementary questionnaire in diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in adults. Furthermore the validity of novel screening questionnaire: SchiZotypal Autism Questionnaire (ZAQ), will be investigated. ZAQ is developed to discriminate Schizotypal Disorder from ASD.
This randomised-controlled trial will assess the effect of an early intervention on the social-communicative abilities and brain activity of infants with elevated likelihood of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The children´s social-communicative abilities and the related brain activity will be evaluated at three time points: before the start of the intervention (pre-intervention), immediately after its conclusion (post-intervention) and 6 months after its conclusion (follow-up).
The purpose of this study is to assess the (cost)effectivity of Equine assisted Therapy in adolescents with Autism Spectrum disorders.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is defined as a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects the functioning and development of social communication (DSM5 - 2013). ASD causes particularities in sensory treatments (auditory, visual), qualified as uni-modal. Added to this, there is difficulties to deal with prevailing stimuli of the environment (pluri-modal) ; parents report the discomfort of their child in this situation with "noisy" behavioral manifestations. Therapeutic social skills programs most often address the subject's lack of adjustment to their environment through understanding social rules and codes and cognitive treatment of situations. Thus, in order to relieve the sensory modulation disorders which can be the cause of social adjustment difficulties, it's propose to exercise the sensory habituation of children with ASD thanks to virtual reality scenarios restored in 3D immersion booth (the CAVE). The child will be exposed to multimodal stimulation during immersion sessions reproducing the conditions of an ecological environment. A therapist will accompany the child in the CAVE throughout the session. The investigators hypothesize that regular and repeated exposure to a simulated environment in the CAVE can improve multisensory treatment capacities and have a beneficial effect on the autonomy of children and adolescents with ASD in everyday situations.
This study aims to establish a cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) based virtual exposure (VR) exposure program to train ASD adults coping with everyday sensory scenarios. Through the practice and training, the ASD participants may learn the strategy to deal with the common sensory scenarios and master the anxiety around the exposure. The anticipatory anxiety and the maladaptive behaviors may be decreased along with the process of desensitization, while the functional impairment related to sensory sensitivity can partly be recovered.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a common and complex neurodevelopmental disorder, which is characterized by impairments of social communication, social reciprocity, as well as restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRB). The unclear pathogenesis of ASD, its increasing prevalence, and its poor clinical diagnosis and treatment effect have caused a serious economic and mental burden on patients and their families. As a new non-invasive neuroelectrophysiological technique, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used more and more in the interventional treatment of autism. The current project aims to explore the influence of TMS on brain plasticity in autism by using TMS for interventional treatment of autism and provide guidelines for the intervention and treatment of autism by evaluating the efficiency of these methods.
