Internvention Effort for Individuals with Autism During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Children with autism spectrum disorders need interventions to deal with communication, social interaction, and behavior problems. The Covid-19 pandemic has prevented children with autism spectrum disorders from performing face-to-face interventions outside the home. This study aims to describe the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on individuals with autism spectrum disorders and to describe the intervention efforts of individuals with spectrum disorders during the Covid-19 outbreak. This study uses a systematic literature review consisting of three main phases, planning the review, conducting the review, and reporting the review, by analyzing 17 articles. The results show that the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on children with autism is increased stress and anxiety. The cause of this anxiety stress is extreme routine changes that are difficult for children with autism spectrum disorders to experience. Some of the symptoms of behavioral changes as a result of this stress include anxiety, sleep disturbances, irritability, obsessions, impulsivity. Adolescents with autism spectrum disorders are also prone to depression. Therefore, intervention efforts that can be done are through telehealth (online health consultations and interventions), online learning, and family-based interventions with a variety of activities.

Utilizing Neurodiverse Workplace Strategies to Support the Growing Population of Long COVID Cases in a Neuro inclusive Workplace: A Paradigm Shift for Neuro acquired Employees

“…Due to the pandemic of 2019, virtual communication through platforms like Microsoft Teams and Zoom has become more prevalent. For individuals with social anxiety, virtual meetings provide an alternative to engaging verbally, allowing participation via comments and instant messaging (Dewi, 2022). While in-person meetings offer the opportunity to socialize before and after, virtual meetings offer greater predictability and structure.…”

“…To accommodate individual preferences, it is important to ask if there is a preference for cameras on or off and to provide prior notification of the meeting organizer's preference. Additionally, taking breaks during or between calls can be helpful in regulating the difficulty of remaining seated and still for prolonged periods (Dewi, 2022). www.ijoimr.com…”

Teleatendimento Em Exercício Físico Pa Ra População Com Transtorno Do Espectro Autista: Desafios E Possibilidades

“…Nos indivíduos com TEA latino-americanos, após o início do distanciamento social, constataram-se aumento da irritabilidade, conduta de deambular, dificuldades de alimentação e de concentração, ansiedade e distúrbios de sono, pioras correlacionadas, principalmente, a mudanças na rotina (Dewi et al, 2022;Valdez et al, 2021). Com a finalidade de melhorar a saúde durante o isolamento social, os indivíduos com TEA beneficiaram-se de teleatendimentos.…”

“…Além de essa modalidade evitar a submissão ao risco de contágio, também impede o estresse da viagem ao centro de intervenção e promove redução no custo financeiro de deslocamento (Ketcheson & Pitchford, 2021;Lima et al, 2020;Logrieco et al, 2022;Valdez et al, 2021). Um tipo de teleatendimento do qual as pessoas com TEA se beneficiaram foi aquele baseado em atividade física (Dewi et al, 2022). Ainda que haja aumento no número de pesquisas que se centram em intervenções baseadas em atividade física (Feng et al, 2022), poucos estudos empíricos abordaram efeitos do teleatendimento em atividade física para pessoas com TEA (Dewi et al, 2022;Ketcheson & Pitchford, 2021).…”
