The pilot investigation evaluated a theatrical intervention program, Social Emotional NeuroScience Endocrinology (SENSE) Theatre, designed to improve socioemotional functioning and reduce stress in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Eight children with ASD were paired with typically developing peers that served as expert models. Neuropsychological, biological (cortisol and oxytocin), and behavioral measures were assessed in a pretest-posttest design. The intervention was embedded in a full musical theatrical production. Participants showed some improvement in face identification and theory of mind skills. The intervention shows potential promise in improving the socioemotional functioning in children with ASD through the utilization of peers, video and behavioral modeling, and a community-based theatrical setting.
该初步研究评估了一种戏剧干预项目——社会情感神经科学内分泌学(SENSE)戏剧,旨在改善自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童的社会情感功能并减轻其压力。8 名 ASD 儿童与作为专家模型的典型发展同龄人配对。采用前测后测设计评估神经心理学、生物学(皮质醇和催产素)和行为学指标。该干预措施嵌入在完整的音乐剧制作中。参与者在面部识别和心理理论技能方面显示出了一些改善。该干预措施通过利用同伴、视频和行为建模以及基于社区的戏剧环境,显示出了改善 ASD 儿童社会情感功能的潜力。
