Enfoque neurosensorial en el desarrollo integral de niños con trastorno del espectro autista.

Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a condition that begins in early childhood and causes children to have difficulties associated with alterations in sensory processing that lead to significant social, communicative and behavioral limitations that interfere with their comprehensive development, limiting their participation in different contexts. For this reason, the objective of the project focused on determining the incidence of the neurosensory approach in the comprehensive development of children with autism spectrum disorder. To do so, it focused on two areas of childhood occupation: education and play. The project was carried out under the systematic review methodology by searching for information in different bibliographic sources such as: Scielo, pubmed, redalyc. In this way, several authors who applied the neurosensory approach showed improvements in self-regulation, adaptive behaviors and social interaction in children with ASD, increasing their participation in educational and recreational activities, contributing to their general development, where the occupational therapist plays a fundamental role in its implementation. Once completed, it is concluded that the benefits of the approach are significant for optimal comprehensive development of children with ASD, even more so if applied from an early intervention, improving not only processing, sensorimotor, and social skills, but also their involvement in their occupational roles.
