Individual received Vajirapattana programme that intervened via daily activities with parent-mediated techniques. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare Vajirapattana score, and Spearman's rank correlation test to analyses factors correlated with score changing.Results: There were significant difference of clinical scores in all aspects assessed by Vajirapattana tools before and after therapy (p <0.001). Total behavior score change correlated with sex (rs= -0.476), receiving of speech therapy (rs = -0.387), number of interventions (rs = 0.463) and duration of assessment (rs = 0.442). Family income correlates with score changes on social and total score aspects (rs = -0.383 and rs = -0.358)Conclusion: Clinical of autistic children were changed. Further, experimental research that adapted Vajirapattana tools according to DSM-5 criteria may useful to improve autistic symptoms. |
