Effect of Vestibular Stimulation on Speech Disorders in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
This study combined vestibular stimulation with routine language training to observe and evaluate its effects on language disorders in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD).Sixty children with ASD and language disorders were randomly divided into control group(n=30)and experimental group(n=30).The control group was given routine language training,and the experimental group received vestibular stimu-lation(using astronaut rotating plate and Bobath ball)on the basis of the control group.Each training was carried out under the guidance of the therapist.Before treatment and 8 weeks after treatment,the Autism Be-havior Checklist(ABC)language disorder score and Sign-Significant relations(S-S method)rating results of the two groups were evaluated and analyzed.The results showed that after 8 weeks of treatment,the score of ABC language disorder in the two groups was lower than that before treatment,and the rating of S-S method was higher than that before treatment.The curative effect of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group(P<0.05).In summary,the effect of vestibular stimulation combined with routine language training on improving language disorders in children with ASD is more significant than that of routine language training alone.
