Background: Research highlights the positive effects of early intensive intervention with parent and school involvement for preschool children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) on general developmental outcomes and social skills in randomized controlled trials. However, given the inter-individual variability in the response to treatment, it is necessary to investigate intervention effects in terms of mediators and moderators in order to explain variability and to highlight mechanisms of change. Methods: 25 children in the experimental group were exposed to early intensive intervention and 14 children in the control group were subjected to “as usual” intervention. The initial assessment was obtained at the time of diagnosis (T1) and the follow-up assessment was conducted after 15 months of intervention (T2) in both groups. Results: Participants in the experimental group achieved more prominent gains in both cognitive and socio-interactive skills. The role of specific factors able to predict general quotient and language quotient after intervention were investigated, pointing out the contribution of personal–social and performance abilities. Conclusions: The findings support the importance of parental involvement in targeting ASD core symptoms. Further, results informed our understanding of early predictors in order to identify specific elements to be targeted in the individualized intervention design.

The current research aimed to know the effectiveness of the TEACCH program in developing an effective expression for children with autism spectrum disorder, and the target community for research were children with autism spectrum disorder, and the sample consisted of (10) children, all of whom were males, chosen by a simple random method, and their ages ranged between (3-6) years, who are present (at Al-Nourain Center for Autism and Learning Disorders) in Al-Diwaniyah. The children were distributed into two groups, by (the experimental group included (5) children, and (5) children for the control group), the psychological profile battery was used - the third version Which is called idiomatically (PEP-3), and the effective expression scale has been adopted as a tool for data collection, which is the independent scale in the third edition of the Psychological Profile Battery (2014), and the premium for using the CARS ST-2 scale to determine the level of disorder (ASD), In addition, the results of the study indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the scores of the experimental group members for the effective expression scale between the pre and post-tests, and in favor of the post-test, there were no statistically significant differences between the scores of the individuals in the control group for the scale. Effective expression, there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group and the control group in the post scale and for the reconciliation of the experimental group.

The aim of the research is to know how the impact of psychoeducation group to the level of parenting stress of parents who raise a child with autism spectrum disorder. This research used quasi experimental method with the design of the untreated control group with dependent pretest and posttest samples. This research involved 25 parents  (20 mothers and 5 fathers) who raise a child with autism spectrum disorder divided into two groups, experimental group and  the control group. The experimental group has received psychoeducation treatment with ecological approach for two months (8 meetings, conducted once a week). This research used Scale of Parenting Stress, observation, test of knowledge about parenting of children with autism spectrum disorder, and sheet of evaluation of psychoeducationactivities  in collecting the data. The result of the analysis with mixed anovahave shown that psychoeducation group has no effect to the level  of parenting stress (F = 0,697 p > 0,05). The result of check manipulation have shown that the knowledge of subject on parenting of children with autism increase after join in the psychoeducation group. The result of the evaluation have  shown that subject get other benefits from the psychoeducation group, for instance make a friend, increase the knowledge about parenting of children with autism spectrum disorder, increase confidence in parenting, more patience, instance optimism and excitement in parenting and facing the future,  be grateful for the condition of the children, realize role and responsibility in parenting child with autism and feel get support from professionals.

In recent years, more and more researchers have focused on studies of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), however, studying their siblings has gained less scientific interest. The present study focuses on siblings of children with ASD and assesses their characteristics in terms of emotional intelligence and empathy. Our sample consisted of n = 61 children in two age groups studied: 6-8 and 10-15 years old. Our experimental group consisted of n = 30 siblings of children with ASD, while our control group also consisted of n = 31 children with sibling relationships. Subjects completed two paper-and-pencil tests: the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (Children’s Version), and depending on the age group, the Emotional Intelligence Test (EIT 6-8 / EIT 10-15). We identified higher emotional intelligence and empathy in higher age groups. Among 6-8 years old siblings of children with ASD, higher scores were found to be. At the level of gender differences, girls performed more outstandingly in the tests examined. In our study, the 6-8 years old siblings of children with ASD can be characterized by a higher degree of emotional intelligence and empathy, however, we cannot draw conclusions in a representative way for the entire population.

В статье рассматривается актуальная проблема психологического сопровождения дошкольников с расстройствами аутистического спектра (РАС), в частности психокоррекция их игровой деятельности. Проведенное авторами психологическое исследование позволило констатировать, что основными особенностями игры дошкольников с РАС являются преобладание в ней предметно-манипулятивной деятельности, выраженный сенсорный раздражитель как основной мотив для игры; трудности в использовании предметов-заместителей, свойств игрушек, использование их не по назначению, стереотипность игровых действий. Сделанные выводы позволили разработать коррекционно-развивающую программу, направленную на развитие процессуальной игры дошкольников с РАС с целью формирования предпосылок развития у них навыков сюжетно-ролевой игры и оптимизации их общего психического развития. В статье раскрыты принципы такой коррекционно-развивающей работы; подробно описана структура коррекционно-развивающей программы, направленной на формирование процессуальной игры дошкольников с РАС, которая является базовой для развития игровой деятельности более высокого уровня, методика ее проведения и сформулированы психологические рекомендации по организации и содержанию коррекции игровой деятельности детей с РАС. После реализации программы и формирования у рассматриваемой категории детей навыков процессуальной игры возможен переход к разработке и реализации коррекционно-развивающих программ, направленных на формирование навыков игры с элементами сюжета, а в последующем — сюжетно-ролевой игры, что определяет перспективы дальнейшей работы и научных исследований. The article treats psychological support of preschool children with autism spectrum disorder and focuses on psycho-corrective play activities. The psychological research enables the authors to state that preschool children with autism spectrum disorder prefer play activities which allow manipulation of objects, demonstrate stereotypical behaviors, experience difficulties with substituting play objects, engage in playing activities when experiencing sensory stimulation. The outcomes of the research enable the authors to develop a correctional program aimed at the development of play activities in preschool children with autism spectrum disorder in order to prepare them for role-play activities and enhance their psychological development. The article describes the principles and the structure of correctional activities aimed at the development of play activities in preschool children with autism spectrum disorder in order to prepare them for more complicated role-play activities. The article provides a structure program for teaching children with autism spectrum disorder to play and underlines the correctional potential of play activities. When the program is implemented and autistic preschoolers know how to play, they can be taught to role-play, which can be treated as an issue requiring further research.
