Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper examines the effects of Dohsa-hou therapy on adaptive behaviors in autistic children using a case study of a child with poor adaptive behavior. The Vineland II test was chosen to evaluate the results of the sixmonth study program. The child’s handicap patterns determine specific Dohsa-hou exercises. The results of the experiments show a statistically significant change in the condition. Based on the previous data, the researchers concluded that Dohsa-hou therapy influences adaptive behavior in children with ASD. The study found that ratings for general adaptive behavior and most sub-domains improved from 1 to 5 points, indicating an overall improvement. Language and communication (receiving) sub-domains and everyday life skills have seen the most substantial gains in recent years.
期刊介绍:
Studies on Ethno-Medicine is a peer reviewed, internationally circulated journal. It publishes reports of original research, theoretical articles, timely reviews, brief communications, book reviews and other publications in the interdisciplinary field of ethno-medicine. The journal serves as a forum for physical, social and life scientists as well as for health professionals. The transdisciplinary areas covered by this journal include, but are not limited to, Physical Sciences, Anthropology, Sociology, Geography, Life Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Botany, Agriculture, Home Science, Zoology, Genetics, Biology, Medical Sciences, Public Health, Demography and Epidemiology. The journal publishes basic, applied and methodologically oriented research from all such areas. The journal is committed to prompt review, and priority publication is given to manuscripts with novel or timely findings, and to manuscript of unusual interest. Further, the manuscripts are categorised under three types, namely - Regular articles, Short Communications and Reviews. The researchers are invited to submit original papers in English (papers published elsewhere or under consideration elsewhere shall not be considered).
