چکیده

 
هدف پژوهش حاضر به بررسی تأثیر آموزش تقلید متقابل بر بهبود نشانگان کودکان با اختلال درخودماندگی بود. بدین منظوربا استفاده از روش نمونه­گیری در دسترس، 24 کودک با اختلال درخودماندگی( 30 تا 54 ماهه ) از یک مرکز توانبخشی و نگه­داری کودکان درخودمانده انتخاب و به صورت تصادفی به دو گروه آزمایش و کنترل تقسیم شدند. آزمودنی­های گروه آزمایش آموزش تقلید متقابل را طی70جلسه( 3روز در هفته و هر جلسه 20 دقیقه­ای )دریافت کردند. در این پژوهش از آزمون گارز به عنوان پیش­آ­زمون و پس­آ­زمون استفاده شد. نتایج تحلیل کوواریانس داده­ها نشان داد که آموزش تقلید متقابل بر بهبود نشانگان کودکان با درخودماندگی گروه آزمایش تاثیر معنی دار داشته است. بنابراین می توان نتیجه گرفت روش آموزش تقلید متقابل منجر به بهبود نشانگان(تعاملات اجتماعی، ارتباطات و رفتارکلیشه­ای) در کودکان درخودمانده می­شود. به بیان دیگر مداخله رفتاری ـ طبیعی به عنوان یک درمان انتخابی جدید و بالقوه مهم برای کودکان درخودمانده موثر است.

چکیده [English]

The purpose of this study was investigating the effectiveness of Reciprocal Imitation Training (RIT) on reducing symptoms of children with autism disorder.Twenty four autistic children (30-54 months old) were selected from a rehabilitation center in Tehran and assigned randomly in to two equal groups of experimental and control groups. The experimental group received 70 sessions (3 days per week, 20 minutes for each session) of RIT through the intervention. The GARZ questionnaire was used as the pre-test and the post-test for the two groups. ANCOVA analysis showed that there were significant differences between mean scores of autisticsymptoms (social interaction, communication and stereotype movements) in two groups. This study provides evidence for the effectiveness of naturalistic behavioral interventionfor improving autistic symptoms in young autistic children.
