An Educational Exploration Based on Psychomotor Intervention Strategies for Autistic Patients

Abstract

The competency model is the result of a comprehensive intervention development behavior developed as a method to alter the developmental trajectory of autistic children. The aim was to help children become more socially oriented and develop other skills through social interactions with adults and their integration into a specific educational environment. The intervention is based on the principles of applied behavioral analysis, but aims to teach children skills in an institutional setting [9]. Several areas of development are both stimulate and teach skills taking into account the level of development of the child in each area. Children who participate in the ESDM are assigned a multidisciplinary treatment team that assesses their progress, including individual learning objectives, are targeted during play sessions. The child’s performance and skills are used to assess each child’s progress until they are ready for intervention. A relatively new intervention, so that the whole search examination of its effects is somewhat limited. In cognitive improvement, language, coping skills and diagnosis controlled comparisons did not show gains. The perspectives of our research must be directed towards a promising intervention for young autistic children. Future research should include more methodologically rigorous studies as well as independent replication, reviews of the generalization of the skills taught and direct comparisons. The development of a frame of psychosocial skills that will be oriented to the good management and distribution of the knowledge of the educators in favor of the good integration and good communication of autistic subject.
