ABSTRACT

Autism spectrum disorder is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder, with a high incidence that currently represents an especially important public health problem, having a prevalence of approximately 1 in 168 children according to the WHO, and reporting a higher prevalence in sex male compared to female. The high incidence and symptoms of this condition cause difficulties on a personal, family and social level. Objectives: To evaluate the results obtained in children with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, in the areas of adaptation, communication and cognition after receiving sensory integration therapy in the Pediatric Rehabilitation Program, to give a diagnosis and treatment of timely manner improves the quality of life of these patients. Material and methods: A review of the files of the children with autism spectrum disorder, who met the inclusion criteria, was performed, data were analyzed regarding the improvement in the areas of adaptation, communication, and cognition according to the progress reported by the parents after admission to the Pediatric Rehabilitation Program. Conclusions: Improvement was found in the areas of adaptation, communication, and cognition in all children with autism spectrum disorder.
