Evaluation of the Videodrama Therapeutic Device for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders

Обзор

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder (Valerie, Sperenza, 2009) that begins early in development, characterized by persistent deficits in communication and social interactions across various contexts and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. These symptoms significantly impact social, school/professional functioning, or other important areas and are not better explained by intellectual disability or global developmental delay (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).

Подробное описание

Currently, managing children with ASD emphasizes compensating for communication and social interaction disabilities. Communication tools like PECS or Makaton and social skills groups have shown effectiveness but have limitations, particularly not addressing sensory atypicalities seen in children with ASD. These sensory atypicalities are evident when children watch videos on screens. The idea is to use video to understand the sensory experiences of children with ASD and help them move away from an isolated relationship with screens. New technologies can further isolate children with ASD in their autistic sphere. The hypothesis is that observing these children with screens will provide better understanding of their sensory experiences and improve therapeutic support towards play and interaction with others

Вмешательства

• Другое patient included in experimental groupe will view the video excerpt, a playtime, a drawing activities
  Patients included in the videodrama arm will participate in a total of 18 videodrama sessions, with one session per week. Each session will include a patient welcome period, the viewing of a video excerpt (in slow motion or not), a playtime, a drawing period, and a group closing session. For the play and drawing activities, the same materials will be provided in each department and for each group, including small figurines, animals, shapes (such as cubes, triangles, circles), small plush toys, m
