Abstract

Adolescent and young adults with a diagnosed autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the severe to moderate functioning range were recruited for this study in Serbia and the United States (U.S.). A total of ten participants, five from each respective country, participated in a 15- week equine-assisted therapy (EAT) intervention that utilized ground-based learning through a manualized program approach. The purpose of the study was to test the effects of a manualized 15-week EAT intervention on the social functioning of individuals with severe to moderate ASD across two cultures using a single subject research design. Nine out of 10 participants displayed improved social functioning over the course of the 15- week EAT intervention in both cultures.
塞尔维亚和美国的马辅助治疗自闭症谱系障碍:一项试点干预
在塞尔维亚和美国,被诊断患有严重到中度功能范围的自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的青少年和年轻人被招募参加这项研究。共有10名参与者,每个国家5名,参加了为期15周的马辅助治疗(EAT)干预,该干预通过手动程序方法利用地面学习。本研究的目的是采用单受试者研究设计,测试一项为期15周的人工饮食干预对两种文化中重度至中度ASD患者社会功能的影响。在两种文化中,10名参与者中有9人在15周的EAT干预过程中表现出社会功能的改善。
