Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of role-playing games with parental involvement and immediate therapist feedback for children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD)and to explore their impact on parental compe-tence,thereby providing new insights for ASD rehabilitation.Method:Seventy children with ASD were randomly assigned to either a control or an intervention group.The control group received traditional one-on-one role-playing therapy with parents as observers.In addition to this therapy,the intervention group participated in a 60-minute parent-inclusive role-playing session with real-time therapist feedback.Assessments of children's social perspective-taking abilities and parental competence were conducted at pre-and post-intervention and at follow-up.Children's developmental outcomes were further evalu-ated using the Griffiths Scales at the same timepoints.Result:Sixty-four participants provided valid data.The intervention group showed significant improvements in social perspective-taking post-intervention and at follow-up compared to baseline(P<0.05).At follow-up,chil-dren in the intervention group also scored higher on personal and social,hearing,and language development domains of the Griffiths Scale than the control group(P<0.05).Parental competence in the intervention group significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion:The integrated intervention of role-playing games with immediate feedback effectively enhances so-cial perspective-taking in children with ASD,promotes developmental levels,and strengthens parental competence.
