BackgroundThis study primarily investigates the intervention effects of different models on children with autism.MethodsA total of 132 autistic children were recruited and assigned to three intervention models: institutional intervention (N=45), family intervention (N=45), and family-institutional intervention (N=42). Comparisons were made of CARS scores before and after intervention across the three groups, as well as developmental quotients in the Gesell Developmental Schedules domains including adaptive behavior, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, language, and personal-social skills.ResultsThe results indicate that all three intervention models alleviated autistic symptoms in children post-intervention. Notably, the combined family-institutional intervention group demonstrated significant improvements in adaptive abilities, fine motor skills, language, and personal-social relationships.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that while all three models effectively improved ASD symptoms, the combined family-institutional intervention was associated with more comprehensive improvements across key developmental domains.
