Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1) Mild autism spectrum disorder includes people whose ASSQ autism range questionnaire score is between 50-100. 2) The process of improving joint attention is measured through the early social communication scale (ESCS), according to the increase in low-level behaviors and higher-level behaviors of the initiating joint attention and the responding to joint attention. 3) Empathy during treatment is measured through the empathy measurement scale in three dimensions: empathic concern, prosocial behavior and personal distress. 4) The process of improvement and development of motor skills during the treatment is measured through Ulrich gross motor development test 2. Timepoint: The measurement of joint attention, empathy and motor skills will be at the beginning of the intervention (before the start of the intervention) and the third session, the sixth session, the ninth session after the start of Anat Baniel’s method and the follow-up session. Method of measurement: 1)The questionnaire for measuring the scope of autism has 27 questions and each one is given a score of 0-4. The child's parents or teachers complete the test. If the total score is 50-100 the child has a mild autism spectrum disorder. 2) The Early Social Communication Scale (ESCS) is designed to evaluate the non-verbal communication skills of normal children aged 8 to 30 months and older children with developmental delay. The Scales of Early Social Relations Short Form (abbreviated as MERAN) is a videotaped structured observation tool that assesses child behavior in three subscales: joint attention, behavioral demands, and social interaction. Each of the subscales is divided into two dimensions of initiation and response. Each of these two dimensions are divided into two categories of behaviors with the title of lower level behaviors (eye contact, gaze following, following the pointing to near) and higher level behaviors (pointing, to show, following the direction of gaze), which score The ranking is based
