A Review of Behavioral Interventions for Autism Spectrum Disorder

Abstract

In recent years, the number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has increased. This not only affects the level and quality of life of children and families, but also brings trouble to the whole society. Therefore, it is necessary to review history of the research of autism, sort out the literature on rehabilitation interventions for autistic children in China and abroad in the past decade, put forward the problems existing in current autism research, and summarize representative intervention methods. The results show that: there are three major problems in the current research on autistic children with autism spectrum disorders: the research methods need to be further enriched, the number of research objects needs to be increased, and the practice and application of research technology need to be strengthened. The construction of family needs and support system, the use of music therapy, and the intervention of virtual reality technology can effectively help autistic children with autism. Finally, by carefully reflecting on the existing intervention methods and effects of autistic children with autism spectrum disorders, the present study provides feasible suggestions to promote the rehabilitation of autistic children in China to a new level.
