Sensory-Adapted Dental Environment for the Treatment of Patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
2022
Purpose: The importance of dental care and oral hygiene is often underestimated in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Comorbidity with dental anxiety is greater in ASD subjects who also show unusual reactions to sensory stimuli. The aim of our study was to assess the efficacy for a sensory-adapted environment and targeted methods in reducing anxiety and positively influencing cooperation in children with ASD during a dental examination or specific treatments. Material and methods: The sample consisted of 50 Italian children with a diagnosis of ASD (36 males and 14 females; aged 9–10 years) presenting with mild intellectual disability (ID) and verbal language skills. The subjects en…

El objetivo de esta tesis es proponer un sistema de detección temprana de TEA (12 a 48 meses) dirigido a población guayaquileña de escasos recursos. Se seleccionaron dos instrumentos (M- CHAT R/F y ADEC), considerando su costo y carga administrativa y propiedades psicométricas. Luego de su adaptación se aplicaron a una muestra de 613 niños (305 F, 308 M/ 12 a 48 m), usando Escala de Bayley III y M-CHAT-R en el nivel 1, el M-CHAT-R/F y ADEC en el nivel 2. Se administró como Gold Standard el ADOS-2, confirmándose el diagnóstico de 23 niños (3.75%). La consistencia interna fue satisfactoria (ADEC α: 0,894; M-CHAT-R/F α: 0,880); la validez de contenido se confirmó mediante el juicio de expertos…

Le famiglie di soggetti autistici, le giovani donne affette da disturbi del comportamento alimentare, gli alcolisti, i tossicodipendenti, i giovani a rischio devianza dei quartieri degradati e coloro che usufruiscono delle misure alternative alla detenzione sono alcune degli attori che, venendo a far parte di nuovi aggregati identitari, mappano i contesti locali in spazi simbolici, in localitè, società urbane incomplete che rinviano a nuove questioni sociali e a differenti derive cui il welfare locale cerca di rispondere. Nel tentativo di esplicitare il groviglio fra solidarietà e povertà, capitalizzazione dei legami e inadeguatezza della rete, progettualità sociale e limiti organizzativi, …
