    PURPOSE: To analyze and compare the extension and the speed of the evolutional process of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders in direct and indirect interventions as opposed to only indirect intervention. METHODS: The design of this study is a clinical trial. The sample was composed of 11 children diagnosed with Autism (n=6) and Asperger syndrome (n=5) by a multidisciplinary team, that attended specialized speech-language pathology therapy at the institution were the study was carried out. These children were randomly divided into two groups: Therapy Group (TG) - composed by six subjects receiving both direct and indirect intervention; and Orientation Group (OG) - constituted by five subjects receiving exclusively indirect intervention. It was used the Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC) to interview the mothers, and the Sample of Vocal Behavior (SVB), in three occasions: at the beginning of the intervention process (time 0), six months later (time 1) and 12 months later (time 2). RESULTS: It was observed greater speed and extension in the evolutional process of the TG Group, both in the analysis of the Autism Behavior Checklist (total and partial scores) and the Sample of Vocal Behavior, especially in the item Full Language. The performance of children with Asperger syndrome was considered more positive when compared to that of children with autism. There was greater evolution in younger children and with normal, mild, and moderate adaptive functioning. CONCLUSION: The tendency towards better performance of the children attending direct and indirect intervention showed that this association is fundamental in the therapeutic process of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

    Parâmetro de tempo para intervenção fonoaudiológica direcionada a crianças com distúrbios do espectro do autismo

    PurposeTo identify a time parameter of speech and language therapy for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders assisted by the association of both direct and indirect actions, as only by indirect shares. MethodThe design of this study is the Clinical Trial pilot. The sample was composed of 11 children with autism spectrum disorders, 4-10 years old. These children were randomly divided into two groups: six were receiving both direct (individual session) and indirect intervention (parent orientation session) (Therapy Group - TG), and five were receiving exclusively indirect intervention (Orientation Group - OG). We used the Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC) to interview the mothers; Interaction Assessment (IA) and Sample of Vocal Behavior (SVB) to assess and to measure the evolution of children on three occasions: at the beginning, six months later and 12 months later. ResultWe observed there was greater evolution, in velocity and extension, in the first semester of TG in the Autism Behavior Checklist. In the Interaction Assessment and Sample of Vocal Behavior there were decreased values, specially between 0 and 1 time. ConclusionThe six month period is strong evidence for indirect action and for the association between indirect and direct actions. This measure of time can be a parameter for speech and language therapy for children with autism spectrum disorders.
