Children with autism present unique challenges related to communication, behavior, and social skills. Each child with an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibits individual characteristics of the disorder. Early identification of autistic spectrum disorder has been shown to improve the child’s benefit from educational interventions. There may be health issues related to autism including seizure disorders and dietary restrictions. Students with autism need special consideration when they come to the health office for screening, assessment of injuries, or administration of medication. Collaboration between educators and school nurses is needed to develop and implement Individual Education Plans and Individual Healthcare Plans. Community resources provide valuable assistance to families of children with this challenging disorder.

Abstract Screening

Abstract Screening instruments to detect symptoms of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the school setting are still needed. The study aimed to develop the Autistic Spectrum Disorder Behavior Scale (ASD-BS) according to the criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V). The scale consists of 31 items, divided into communication; social interactions; restrictive, repetitive and ritual behaviors; and other indicators. The content validity included five expert judges and a pilot sample with 29 children between six and 12 years old. The results were shown to be adequate, all items reached agreement rates above 80% and Kappa of 0.84. Exploratory statistical analyzes showed Cronbach’s alpha equal to 0.78, sensitivity values ranging from 86 to 93% and specificity from 34 to 100%. ASD-BS is of quick implementation, uses the teacher as an informant and contributes to psychological assessment.

DIRFloortime® is a learning approach tailored to individual characteristics of the adult and child and based on establishing emotionally charged relationships, which is successfully used to help children with autistic spectrum disorders. An expert trained in DIRFloortime® offers her thoughts on the importance of the interaction process between children and adults during sessions and in the real-life setting. The paper reviews following the child’s lead and challenging — the main strategies of the DIRFloortime approach. It describes the concept of the circle of communication and characteristics of the interaction process, such as tempo, rhythm, duration, intensity, and content. The process of interaction with children affected by autistic spectrum disorder who have difficulties in communicating should be arranged so that they can be engaged and remain in this process with pleasure and joy as long as possible. The child must feel successful and valuable in the eyes of adults who help him/her grow up. Then the child will be able to cope with his fears, shyness, perceptual and motor challenges and to grow in a most harmonious way. This is why DIRFloortime creators and therapists give particular importance to the process of interaction.

Resumo: A criança com Transtorno do Espectro Autístico (TEA) apresenta uma tríade caracterizada pela dificuldade e prejuízos qualitativos da comunicação verbal e não verbal, na interatividade social e na restrição do seu ciclo de atividades e interesses. O profissional tem uma grande importância na função de capacitar, instruir, supervisionar e orientar os cuidadores e familiares a realizar as atividades com as crianças com autismo. O objetivo deste estudo foi ensinar com aulas práticas voltadas para o desempenho neuropsicomotor a interação do profissional e cuidador com os autistas. O estudo foi composto por quatro etapas: (1) observação pré-intervenção; (2) elaboração dos materiais; (3) encontros para a implantação do treinamento; (4) interação do profissional e cuidador com os autistas. Após a interação proposta para os profissionais e cuidadores, foi possível observar o que pode ser modificado tanto no ambiente em que eles convivem com as crianças autistas quanto na prática do dia á dia. Pode-se concluir que a interação de uma equipe interdisciplinar, colabora para o maior e melhor desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor das crianças autistas, sendo estas como: motricidade fina, motricidade grossa, sensorial, coordenação, melhoria da deglutição, adaptação dessas crianças na sala de aula, melhoria quanto à marcha, equilíbrio, capacidade de concentração e comunicação. Palavras-Chave: Treinamento; Transtorno Autístico; Fisioterapia; Cuidador Abstract: That the child with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presents a triad characterized by the difficulty and qualitative impairments of verbal and no verbal comunication, in social interactivity and in the restriction of its cycle of activities and interests.

The objective of the work that we are going to present below is to choose a type of disability, in our case the Autism Spectrum Disorder, on which we will work with the intention of developing an educational project in which the students are given a response, having take into account the individual characteristics of each of them, as well as the context in which they are found. We decided to choose this disability because the four members of the group have treaty, at some point in our life, with people who have Autism Spectrum Disorder, whether they are children or adults. Therefore, it seemed a good idea to work on a topic that we have had the opportunity toapproachpersonally one way or another. However, this does not mean that, by having had the opportunity to meet and interact with people with this syndrome, we have known how to act with and towards them. It is for this reason that we would like to be able to know their characteristics and the needs they need to be able to successfully achieve in our future what we do notwe knew how to doin the past, that is, to contribute to a good development of the student body and to cooperate to achieve their integration into society.

Autistic Spectrum

Autisme merupakan disabilitas perkembangan yang dialami sepanjang hidup penderita Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Semakin cepat ditangani, semakin besar kemungkinan anak akan kembali normal. Untuk alasan ini, diperlukan metode baru yang dapat membantu orang tua dengan cepat mengenali gejala autisme pada anak-anak mereka. Dalam studi sebelumnya yang dilakukan oleh Fadi Fayez Tabhtah, suatu data set dihasilkan untuk mendeteksi apakah seorang anak memiliki autisme atau tidak. Tetapi penelitiannya hanya menghasilkan data set, ia tidak memeriksa lebih lanjut dimana algoritma cocok untuk data set yang telah dihasilkan. Atribut data set ternyata memiliki nilai yang salah, yang mengundang pertanyaan tentang keakurasian data. Dalam penelitian ini peneliti menggunakan metode CRISP-DM dan menguji keakuratan data set penelitian sebelumnya menggunakan algoritma C.45. Selanjutnya, aplikasi WEKA menggunakan pemilihan fitur dan pengaruh dari nilai yang salah untuk setiap atribut dan menemukan atribut yang paling signifikan. Atribut-atribut ini kemudian diuji dengan algoritma C.45 sehingga model prediksi dari data set diperoleh. Atribut A6 dari perhitungan pohon keputusan tidak muncul sama sekali sebagai cabang. Sebuah model baru diperoleh di mana atribut A6 dihilangkan, sehingga ketika diukur oleh algoritma C.45, nilai akurasi yang lebih baik diperoleh. Hasil model baru kemudian diuji pada data kuesioner baru, yang menghasilkan prediksi yang tepat.
