The Effectiveness of Play Therapy in Reducing Behavioral Problems in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
2023
Overview
Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of play therapy in reducing behavioral problems among children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The study aimed to determine whether there were statistically significant differences between pre- and post-measurements of the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) within the study sample. Methods: The study utilized a single-group pretest-posttest experimental design. A purposive sample of (n= 10) children with ASD, aged 6 to 8 years, was selected from an Autism Center in Guelma- Algeria. Play therapy intervention involved therapeutic games targeting social interaction, communication skills, motor abilities, concentration, and attention. The severity of behavioral problems was assessed using the CARS scale before and after the intervention. Results: The results showed a statistically significant difference between the pre- and post-measurements of the CARS scale following the play therapy intervention. The pre-intervention mean score was 42.05 (SD = 5.89), while the post-intervention mean score was 27.35 (SD = 5.85). This decrease in mean scores was statistically significant (t (9) = 45.00, p < 0.001). Conclusions: The findings of this study provide evidence for the effectiveness of play therapy in reducing behavioral problems in children with ASD. The study supports the use of play therapy as an intervention strategy to address the behavioral challenges faced by children with ASD.
