Abstract EN
Autism Spectrum Disorder is an increasingly diagnosed developmental disorder with a clinical picture consisting of deficit social interaction, inadequate speech, and stereotype behavior.
It has unknown etiology, chronic course, and dire psychosocial consequences both on the affected child and his family.
Several treatment methods have been applied with controversial outcomes and no curative effect.
Based on cognitive behavior therapy, Autism Specific Pedagogic intervention (ASP) was developed at the Metin Health House (a private clinic for child mental health supported by the Investment Law).
In a 2-month individual plan with measurable aims the ASP was applied to improve social interaction for two autistic boys aged 3 and 4 years.
In the first plan, the first boy was taught to respond to his name.
Then, both patients were trained in individually adjusted sessions to learn words and use them in meaningful sentences.
Significant improvement was achieved according to the daily structured assessment of the therapists confirmed by the reports of the parents.
The results are promising regarding a pedagogic use of cognitive behavioral therapy in early diagnosed Autism.
