Abstract

There is a lack of peer-reviewed research on occupational therapy using Zones of Regulation™ concepts for autistic youth. The purpose of this article is to describe the feasibility of a newly-developed occupational therapy intervention using Zones of Regulation™ concepts (OT-ZOR) for autistic youth. Specifically, we aimed to evaluate: (a) participant recruitment, retention, and attendance; (b) intervention fidelity, safety, and assessment completion; (c) intervention acceptability; and (d) preliminary participant outcomes. A single-arm feasibility study was completed with outcome measures before and after 10 weeks of OT-ZOR. Fourteen autistic youth ages 6 to 13 completed the study. Youth attended 94% of OT-ZOR sessions. Providers achieved 97% fidelity to the intervention. Occupational therapists and caregivers expressed overall satisfaction with the OT-ZOR intervention. Youth demonstrated significant decreases in irritability, hyperactivity, emotional reactivity, and dysphoria. OT-ZOR is feasible to implement, acceptable to providers and caregivers, and may improve self-regulation in autistic youth.

使用 Zones of Regulation™ 概念的职业疗法：可行性研究

目前还缺乏针对自闭症青少年使用 "调节区™"概念进行职业治疗的同行评审研究。本文旨在介绍一种新开发的使用 Zones of Regulation™ 概念（OT-ZOR）对自闭症青少年进行职业治疗干预的可行性。具体来说，我们旨在评估：（a）参与者招募、保留和出席情况；（b）干预的忠实性、安全性和评估完成情况；（c）干预的可接受性；以及（d）参与者的初步结果。我们完成了一项单臂可行性研究，在实施 OT-ZOR 十周前后进行了结果测量。14 名 6 至 13 岁的自闭症青少年完成了这项研究。青少年参加了 94% 的 OT-ZOR 课程。提供者对干预的忠实度达到 97%。职业治疗师和照顾者对 OT-ZOR 干预总体表示满意。青少年的易怒、多动、情绪反应和焦虑症明显减少。OT-ZOR 的实施是可行的，提供者和照护者都可以接受，而且可以改善自闭症青少年的自我调节能力。
