Acquisition of Daily Living Skills in Autistic Children: Comparison Between QR Code and a Human Operator
Sponsor: Istituto per la Ricerca e l'Innovazione Biomedica
Summary
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a condition characterized by deficits in social communication and mutual interaction, as well as repetitive and restricted behaviors and interests. This condition manifests itself differently in each individual and can vary greatly in severity and impact on daily life. Autistic children may present various challenges and difficulties in developing daily living skills (DLS). These difficulties may relate to various areas, such as personal autonomy and domestic autonomy. For example, they may have difficulties in acquiring personal hygiene skills, such as dressing and tying their shoes independently. They may have difficulty performing household tasks, such as setting the table, preparing a simple meal, or folding a t-shirt. These difficulties may require specific support and training to help autistic children develop personal autonomy skills and achieve greater independence in different areas of their daily lives. Improving and developing DLS is an important goal in order to improve the quality of life and independence of children with autistic conditions. This protocol aims to acquire new useful DLS within the various settings of daily life. The hypothesis of the present study is the following: video modeling, through the use of the iPad (Qr code scanning), can be more effective in promoting autonomy in children with ASD, compared to a control group that receives a traditional training, without the use of technological instrumentation.

Conditions
Interventions
Video modeling by scanning Qr code
The protocol activity carried out by the experimental group will involve the use of the QR Code: in the operator's presence, the child scans the code through a technological device and watches the video of the activity to be played later in the HomeLab.
Modeling traditional method
The control group will carry out the protocol activities in a traditional way, without technological tools. The child observes the operator who shows the live activity inside the HomeLab.
