| Abstract;Ten autistic one-year-old children who had undergone early intervention programs lasting several years were studied to evaluate changes in their development. The Enjyoji Developmental Scale and Tanaka-Binet Intelligence tests were used periodically. At the initial evaluation, the scores of three of the six items on the Enjyoji scale (socialization and expressive and receptive language) were lower than the others (gross motor, fine motor, and daily living skills). The graphic profile of the six items shows descent on the right at that time. By two to three years of age the children had notable increases in their expressive and receptive language scores, and the profile had changed to the V form. The developmental quotient had reached 70 or more, the level for high-functioning autistics, at age three and a half. By almost five years of age, IQ scores on the Tanaka-Binet Test were above the average level. All the autistic toddlers who were provided very early intervention programs made significant progress in intelligence and social interaction. In terms of development, their profiles on the Enjyoji Scale showed distinctive change. (author abst.) |
