Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Low-Intensity Behavioral Intervention(LIBI)based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which mainly consists of face-to-face individual therapy at a desk within the framework of public services at a child development support center, was used to examine the effectiveness of LIBI in improving the DQ of children with ASD. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of LIBI(Low-Intensity Behavioral Intervention) in improving DQ of children with ASD.

Key inclusion criteria

1. preschooler (6 years old or younger).
2. children diagnosed with ASD at a medical institution. 3. children who have been attending the center for at least 1 year.
The KIDS is a standardized questionnaire that captures the development of infants and toddlers in terms of their overall natural behavior and consists of nine items: motor, manipulative, language (comprehension, expression, and concepts), social (with adults and children), discipline, and eating. It is standardized.

Key exclusion criteria

1. exclude cases with the following diagnoses of organic or genetic diseases in medical institutions Rett syndrome, fragile X syndrome, and tuberous sclerosis.
2. Subjects will be excluded if family members or other proxies of the subject wish not to participate in the study.

Baseline Characteristics

Among 100 children who attended the facility up to October 2023,40 had been diagnosed with ASD and had taken the KIDS (Infant Developmental Scale, Type T) test at least twice, with an interval of one year or more between assessments.

Participant flow

Over a period of approximately nine years,100 children were sequentially accepted into the program after their parents visited for consultation and observation and expressed a desire to enroll.Among them, 40cases(36boys and 4girls) were selected for analysis - those who had received intervention for more than one year, had a medical diagnosis of ASD without organic or genetic disorders, and had taken the KIDS(Infant Developmental Scale) test at least twice with an interval of one year or more.

Adverse events

No significant events observed.

The outline of this observational study is as follows
1. conduct an initial KIDS at the beginning with ABA therapy at the office and record the DQ.
2. ABA therapy will be conducted (1 hour/time, 1.5-5 times/week).
3. Conduct KIDS every year and record DQ.
4. conduct a t-test with correspondence between the first DQ and the most recent DQ to examine the effect of ABA therapy; expected duration of participation of ABA therapy subjects: from admission to graduation/exit (1 year to 6 years).
Of the 100 cases who participated in this ABA therapy, we will conduct a statistical analysis of 40 cases who had a diagnosis of ASD, had behavioral intervention for at least one year, and had the Infant Developmental Screening Scale (hereinafter referred to as KIDS) administered at least twice. Based on the results of the DQ analysis of the children with ASD who received low-Intensity behavioral intervention for less than 5 hours per week at our center, this study will examine the effectiveness of professional support and therapy with ABA as an overall support method for the development of children with ASD and their families. . This study is a before-and-after comparative study (backward-looking observational study) of the practice of treatment and education with ABA therapy in a project that focuses on individualized functional training, starting from the past.
