Abstract:
Objective:To explore the improvement of core symptoms in children with autism whose auditory pathway dysfunction were repaired after accepting auditory integration training(AIT).Methods:The ASD children with abnormal auditory evoked potentials were divided into AIT group (the ones whose BAEP return to normal after AIT training into test group), control group A (blank control group) and control group B (ABA training group). The ASD children were assessed by Portage Development Checklist, Child Autism Rating Scale (CARS) and Autism Therapy Assessment Scale (ATEC) at the time of admission, one month after admission, three months after admission.The curative effect with the change value of each factor fraction was evaluated.Results:At the time of enrollment, there were no significant differences among the scores of CARS((36.31±4.08), (36.33±3.76), (36.33±5.14)) as well as ATEC language ((19.08±6.43), (16.40±6.42), (18.48±5.96)), social ((15.63±7.13), (16.05±7.57), (16.19±7.19)), and perception ((16.78±5.39) (16.92±6.75), (17.12±6.73)) and self-care ((15.98±8.71), (17.93±8.22), (17.26±8.93), respectively)) in the AIT group, control group B and control group A. After one month and three months from enrollment, the scores of CARS were ((33.96±3.79), (35.09±4.38) and (34.30±3.98), respectively after one month; (32.95±3.15), (36.86±3.86) and (33.95±3.90), respectively) after three months in the AIT group, control group B and control group A. The repeated measurement analysis of variance showed that the main effect of time was significant ( F=22.308, P<0.01), the main effect of group was not significant ( F=2.647, P>0.05), and there was interaction between time and group ( F= 8.626, P<0.01). For the scores of ATEC language (one month: (16.18±7.10), (18.62±6.63), (13.40±5.44); three months: (14.13±6.13), (18.40±6.35), (10.75±5.17)), social(one month: (12.31±6.68), (17.76±6.82), (15.08±6.75); three months: (10.71±5.42), (16.31±6.30), (12.15±7.30)), perception (one month: (14.37±5.86), (17.43±7.22), (18.58±6.92); three months: (10.35±5.43), (16.44±7.05), (16.68±7.37)) in AIT group, control group B and control group A. The main effect of time was significant ( F=35.534, 40.729, 40.401, all P<0.01), the main effect of group was also significant ( F=7.600, 6.193, 7.675, all P<0.01), and there was interaction between time and group ( F=7.602, 3.355, 7.649, all P<0.05). Multiple comparisons showed that there were statistically significant differences between the AIT group and the control group B, the control group A and the control group B in the scores of ATEC language scale after intervention (I1-J1=-1.69, P1<0.05; I2-J2=-4.98, P2<0.01) between the AIT group and the control group A in the scores of ATEC social scale after intervention (I-J=-4.54, P<0.01) .There were significant differences between the AIT group and the control group A, the AIT group and the control group B in the scores of ATEC perception scale after intervention (I1-J1=-3.16, P1<0.05; I2-J2=-4.89, P2<0.01); for the scores of ATEC self-care ability subscale the main effect of time was significant ( F=22.876, P<0.01), the main effect of group was also significant ( F=3.427, P<0.05), and time and group had no interaction ( F=1.885, P>0.05). Multiple comparisons showed that the scores of ATEC self-care ability scale between the AIT group and the control group A were statistically significant (I-J=-4.46, P<0.05). Conclusion:The results of this study show that AIT training can improve the core symptoms of the ASD children whose BAEP returns to normal.
