A study of eye contact ability of preschool children with autism using a combination of sensory integration and positive reinforcement

การศึกษาความสามารถในการสบตาของเด็กออทิสติกระดับชั้นปฐมวัยจากการใช้ขบวนการผสมผสานการรับความรู้สึกร่วมกับการเสริมแรงทางบวก

Abstract

Sample groups include Autistic children 6 years old are studying in kindergarten. At Ban Ploy Phum Kindergarten Which has been diagnosed by a doctor as an autistic child. There are 1 eye contact problems. The population used in this study is an autistic child who has been diagnosed by a doctor as an autistic child. Stick Which were studied at the kindergarten level at Ban Phloi Phum Kindergarten in the 2nd semester of the academic year 2010 (surveyed on 4 November 2010) at the 95% confidence level. Was the observation form and recording behavior to measure eye contact ability The statistics used for data analysis are percentage of data about analysis by means of average value. Standard deviation.   The results of the research showed that: 1) The basal distance (A1) has the frequency of eye contact behavior according to the experimental plan, the activity of the integration of perception in the basal phase (A1) in the amount of 6 times with the frequency as follows: 6, 8, 7, 5, 8 and 7.  2) The experimental phase (B) is the phase that uses positive reinforcement activities. It is found that eye contact behaviors are greater than in the baseline phase (A1). The frequency of eye behaviors according to the experimental plan, activity arrangement, integration, perception in the phase 25 trials (B), with frequencies as follows: 15, 17, 14, 16, 14, 15, 18, 14, 15, 16, 15, 17, 14, 18, 15, 16, 19, 16, 17, 15, 16, 20, 17, 17 and 18 and 3) The stoppage phase (A2) is the phase returning to the process, just like the baseline phase (A1), which means stopping the use of positive reinforcement activities. With a slightly decreased frequency value When compared in the experimental period (B), 6 times, with frequencies as follows: 13, 14, 16, 15, 13 and 14.
