Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

176
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Modeling in Therapy

130
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

224
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Community Based Intervention

67
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Developmental Pediatrics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) requires timely intervention services for optimal child development.
  • Access to specialized care for ASD varies significantly, particularly in low-resource settings.
  • Understanding service accessibility is crucial for developing effective support systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the accessibility of intervention services for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Jordan.
  • To identify the types of services utilized and barriers encountered by families of children with ASD.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective cross-sectional survey was conducted with parents of 274 children with ASD (aged 2.5-17 years).
  • Data were collected from participants attending pediatric neurology clinics across three major Jordanian hospitals.
  • Information gathered focused on service utilization, age at first intervention, and perceived barriers to care.

Main Results:

  • 71.5% of children with ASD received rehabilitation services, with behavioral therapy being the most common (66.4%).
  • The average age for initiating services was 3.9 years, with speech and behavioral therapies receiving the most weekly hours.
  • Significant barriers included high costs (58%) and transportation difficulties (37.5%), with a preference for specialized autism centers.

Conclusions:

  • Children with ASD in Jordan experience restricted access to recommended intervention services.
  • Future intervention strategies must address the financial and logistical challenges faced by families in resource-limited regions.
  • Parental preference leans towards specialized autism centers rather than direct training for self-intervention.
