Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper examines the effects of Dohsa-hou therapy on adaptive behaviors in autistic children using a case study of a child with poor adaptive behavior. The Vineland II test was chosen to evaluate the results of the sixmonth study program. The child’s handicap patterns determine specific Dohsa-hou exercises. The results of the experiments show a statistically significant change in the condition. Based on the previous data, the researchers concluded that Dohsa-hou therapy influences adaptive behavior in children with ASD. The study found that ratings for general adaptive behavior and most sub-domains improved from 1 to 5 points, indicating an overall improvement. Language and communication (receiving) sub-domains and everyday life skills have seen the most substantial gains in recent years.
