标题:Isle of Wight study: a neuro-developmental therapy to promote social attention and shared emotion in young children with high-functioning autistic spectrum difficulties
摘要:AbstractThis paper describes and evaluates a group approach to therapy, which focuses on modifying the nature of the social interaction between infants at risk of ASD and their caregivers. Ten children were observed throughout therapy and at 12 month follow up in school. Children were seen to move from an egocentric focus on objects, to showing increased visual interest in adults’ actions, and eventually transferring these non-verbal skills to involve themselves constructively with their peers at school. This approach contrasts with approaches that focus either on modifying the child through individual therapy or adults through behavioural advice.
