What this trial studies

This study evaluates a therapeutic approach using videodrama to support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in improving their communication and social interaction skills. The intervention involves children watching video excerpts, engaging in playtime, and participating in drawing activities, aiming to understand their sensory experiences and reduce their isolation from social interactions. By focusing on the sensory atypicalities associated with ASD, the study seeks to enhance therapeutic support and promote play and interaction with peers. The study includes children aged 3 to 15 years who have a confirmed diagnosis of ASD and a strong interest in screens.
