Empirisch überprüfte Frühfördermethoden bei autistischen Störungen

Eine selektive Literaturübersicht

Published Online:July 08, 2010https://doi.org/10.1024/1422-4917/a000043

Abstract

Autistische Störungen (AS) zeichnen sich durch Einschränkungen in den drei Bereichen soziale Interaktion, Kommunikation und Sprache sowie durch stereotypes Verhalten und Sonderinteressen aus. Im Rahmen der Frühförderung bei AS geht es um eine umfassende Förderung der gemeinsamen Aufmerksamkeit, des Spielverhaltens, der Sprachentwicklung sowie insbesondere der sozialen Interaktion und Kommunikation. Es existieren unterschiedliche, empirisch relativ gut überprüfte, verhaltenstherapeutische Ansätze und Therapieprogramme, die in diesem Artikel zusammengefasst sind. Dabei wird besonderer Wert auf die wissenschaftliche Evidenz der jeweiligen Ansätze gelegt.


Empirically based early intervention programs for children with autistic disorders – a selective literature review

Autistic Disorders (AD) are characterized by impairments in social interaction and communication, as well as by stereotyped behaviors and interests. Early intervention programs in AD aim to improve several aspects of the child’s abilities: joint attention, play abilities, language development, and especially social interaction and communication. In this review article based on a selective literature search, the relatively best empirically based early intervention programs will be discussed with a focus on the proven efficacy of these interventions.
