Abstract:
Objective To compare the effect of discrete trial training(DTT),pivotal response treatment(PRT)and a combination of DTT and PRT on joint attention in children aged three to six years with mild to moderate autism spectrum disor-der(ASD). Methods From January,2023 to March,2024,39 children with ASD aged 36 to 72 months in Tiger Children's Rehabili-tation Center in Shanghai were randomly divided into DTT,PRT and combination groups,who received DTT,PRT and a combination of DTT and PRT,respectively,for ten weeks.They were assessed with Joint Attention As-sessment Scale for children with ASD before and after intervention. Results Two cases in DTT group and one case in PRT group dropped down,resulting in a final sample of 36 cases.The main effects of group(F=11.225,P<0.001)and time(F=416.935,P<0.001)were significant,as well as the interaction(F=10.501,P<0.001),and the combination group was the best during intervention and follow-up(P<0.05). Conclusion Both DTT and PRT may improve joint attention in children with ASD,and the combination of DTT and PRT is the best.
