- Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder is a severe and pervasive disability that affects all key areas of child development. Symptoms are diagnostically nonspecific at an early age, the effects of disorder on a child's behavioral begin to be apparent often around 12 months of age. At the 18-months, when children commonly use the skills of joint attention, they follow shown distant object, boast and wait for visual contact with the adult, respond to the name, they are perfectly imitating and engage in pretend play, the difference between the typical development and the development of a child exhibiting risk factors is already diagnostically significant. Early detection of this disorder is an important criterion for possible outcomes of rehabilitation care. Regular and welltargeted stimulation of skills decisive for autism can connect areas of the brain that would work only limited or were not activated at all. It is important to create a connection based on the spontaneity of the child with ASD, to support the natural frequency and quality of eye contact, to raise interest in human speech (which transmits social information as well as facial expressions). Intervention, based on positive parent-child interactions (parent as main therapist), can optimize child development, changing the behavior and perception of the child. Helps activate mirror neurons (responsible for the ability of an individual to close the story into a whole: „gestalt" design), the development of executive functions and improving the central coherence capability. This way is therapeutically effective in children older than 3 years, but in the case of these new connections, they are based on old patterns of behavior, which must be reeducated, rewritten a memory map of the brain. The effectiveness of rehabilitation is low in the elderly children, longterm intense care is needed and it is difficult to stabilize new behavior and fixing skills. Professional intervention initiated in early-age children, optimally within 2 years, can optimize the development of the child on a much wider scale by stimulating key skills that trigger important psychological processes. The results of a longitudinal pilot study of the intervention method O.T.A. in 16 children show that low-cost therapy using VIG can be effective.
