Training of Caregivers of Autistic Children in Intervention via Sus
Main Article Content
Abstract
Autism spectrum disorders are characterized by neurodevelopmental alterations with onset of symptoms in childhood. The literature has indicated that the models of intensive behavioral intervention can produce significant improvements in several areas of the development of people with this diagnosis. The offer of this type of therapy in Brazil is still scarce, especially in institutions financed by the Unified Health System. However, the training of caregivers has been pointed out as an alternative to promote access to this type of therapy to more autistic people. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of caregiver training on the development of autistic children treated at an institution financed by the Unified Health System. Participants were assessed before and after the intervention, using an instrument that measured the children’s development. The results indicated improvement in the development of six children out of a group of 17.
