Resumo: | This review identified 8 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated early intervention (EI) programs for infants in the age-group 18-48 months who either had been diagnosed with, or were considered at risk for, autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The studies were summarized in terms of participant characteristics, intervention characteristics, rigor of study/research and outcomes. Intervention characteristics included the provision of training to parents. All the studies used RCT design, with control subjects who were either toddlers of typical development (TD) or toddlers with ASD following “treatment as usual” (TAU) or another treatment, and all were rated as strong in terms of quality/rigor. Positive results were recorded for parental acceptability and satisfaction, and reduction of parenting stress. In most of the studies, the social communication and developmental skills of the toddlers were enhanced. We conclude that EI programs for ASD show promise, and may be beneficial for both the toddlers and the parents, but the limited number of RCTs and the wide variety in intervention programs and assessment instruments used indicates the need for additional research to evaluate the specific benefits. |

Esta revisión identificó ocho ensayos controlados aleatorios (ECA) que evaluaron los programas de intervención temprana (IE) para lactantes en el grupo de edad de 18 a 48 meses que habían sido diagnosticados o se consideraban en riesgo de tener un trastorno del espectro autista (TEA). Los estudios se resumieron en términos de características de los participantes, características de la intervención, rigor del estudio / investigación y resultados. Las características de la intervención incluyeron la provisión de capacitación a los padres. Todos los estudios utilizaron un diseño de ECA, con sujetos de control que eran lactantes de desarrollo típico (DT) o lactantes con TEA que seguían el "tratamiento habitual" (TAU) u otro tratamiento, y todos se calificaron como sólidos en términos de calidad / rigor. Se registraron resultados positivos para la aceptabilidad y satisfacción de los padres y la reducción del estrés parental. En la mayoría de los estudios, se mejoraron las habilidades de comunicación social y desarrollo de los niños pequeños. Concluimos que los programas de IE para los TEA son prometedores y pueden ser beneficiosos tanto para los niños pequeños como para los padres, pero el número limitado de ECA y la amplia variedad de programas de intervención e instrumentos de evaluación utilizados indica la necesidad de realizar investigaciones adicionales para evaluar los beneficios específicos.Esta revisão identificou 8 ensaios clínicos randomizados (RCTs) que avaliaram programas de intervenção precoce (EI) para bebês na faixa etária de 18-48 meses que foram diagnosticados com, ou foram considerados em risco de transtorno do espectro do autismo (ASD). Os estudos foram resumidos em termos de características dos participantes, características da intervenção, rigor do estudo / pesquisa e resultados. As características da intervenção incluíram o fornecimento de treinamento aos pais. Todos os estudos usaram um desenho de RCT, com indivíduos de controle que eram bebês de desenvolvimento típico (TD) ou bebês com ASD após "tratamento usual" (TAU) ou outro tratamento, e todos foram classificados como fortes em termos de qualidade / rigor. Resultados positivos foram registrados para aceitação e satisfação dos pais e redução do estresse parental. Na maioria dos estudos, a comunicação social e as habilidades de desenvolvimento das crianças foram aprimoradas. Concluímos que os programas de EI para TEA são promissores e podem ser benéficos para crianças e pais, mas o número limitado de ensaios clínicos randomizados e a ampla variedade de programas de intervenção e instrumentos de avaliação usados indicam a necessidade de pesquisas adicionais para avaliar os benefícios específicos.Research, Society and Development2021-10-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2193510.33448/rsd-v10i14.21935Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 14; e103101421935Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 14; e103101421935Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 14; e1031014219352525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/21935/26236Copyright (c) 2021 Elpis Papaefstathiou; Maria Zygopoulou ; Eleni Gkiolnta; Kyriaki Sarri; Christine K.
