Children with autism exhibit difficulties with social interaction and communication skills, and they present with restricted interests and stereotyped patterns of behaviour that affect their daily lives. Floor time play (FTP) is an intervention approach that addresses these issues; however, there are few published studies on its effectiveness.
This study determines the effectiveness of FTP intervention with a child diagnosed with autism.
A single subject AB design was used with circles of communication as the behaviour indicator for improvement. Visual and statistical analyses were completed. The child's mother kept a daily journal describing FTP intervention sessions at home.
Despite variability in the data, statistical analyses indicate a significant difference between the numbers of circles of communication during the intervention phase as compared with the observation phase. Implications. This study provides preliminary evidence for the use of the FTP approach with a child with autism.
自闭症儿童在社交互动和沟通技能方面存在困难，他们表现出兴趣受限和刻板的行为模式，这些会影响他们的日常生活。地板时光游戏（FTP）是一种解决这些问题的干预方法；然而，关于其有效性的已发表研究很少。
本研究确定对一名被诊断为自闭症的儿童进行地板时光游戏干预的有效性。
采用单一受试者AB设计，将沟通圈作为改善的行为指标。完成了视觉和统计分析。孩子的母亲每天记录在家中进行地板时光游戏干预的情况。
尽管数据存在变异性，但统计分析表明，与观察阶段相比，干预阶段的沟通圈数量存在显著差异。启示。本研究为对自闭症儿童使用地板时光游戏方法提供了初步证据。
