METHODICAL-PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF THE OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM

Abstract

Autism, hypercomplex development disorder of neurological origin, affects the motor
and sensory systems, language and verbal acquirements, communication and social aptitudes.
Within the therapy, methods such as the occupational therapy, ABA (Applied Behavioural
Analysis), TEACCH (Treatment and Education of autistic and related Communication
Handicapped Children) have considerable effects in reducing behavioural disorders and
normalizing the learning processes.
