Application effects of family rehabilitation therapy based on specialist team guidance in children with autism spectrum disorder
Objective:To observe application effects of family rehabilitation therapy based on specialist team guidance in children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD).Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 82 children with ASD admitted to the hospital from December 2019 to May 2021.They were divided into observation group and control group according to the random number table method,41 cases in each.The control group was treated with routine family rehabilitation,while the observation group was treated with the family rehabilitation based on the specialist team guidance.The scores of clinical symptoms[autism treatment evaluation scale(ATEC)],the strong and weak items and development/adaptation degree[autism children's psychological education assessment-third edition(PEP-3)],and the motor ability[test of gross motor development-third edition(TGMD-3)]were compared between the two groups before and after the treatment.Results:After the treatment,the ATEC scores of health/physiology/behavior,perception/cognitive ability,expression/language communication and social ability in the two groups were lower than those before the treatment,those in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After the treatment,the PEP-3 scores of Communication synthesis score and Physical fitness synthesis score in the two groups were higher than those before the treatment,those in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Furter,after the treatment,the TGMD-3 scores of the two groups of mobile movements and object-controlled movements were higher than those before the treatment,those in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusions:The family rehabilitation therapy based on the specialist team guidance in the children with ASD can improve the PEP-3 and TGMD-3 scores,and reduce the ATEC scores.Moreover,it is superior to the routine family rehabilitation treatment.
