Abstract：Objective:Examining the impact of psychological guidance and sensory integration training on the psychological and behavioral traits of children with autism spectrum disorder.Methods:A total of 66 children with autism spectrum disorder visiting our hospital from March 2019 to March 2024 were selected as research subjects.They were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,each with 33 cases.The control group received sensory integration training,while the observation group underwent psychological guidance combined with sensory integration training.The differences in the assessment results of the Autism Treatment Evaluation Scale(ATEC),Autism Behavior Scale(ABC),Childhood Autism Rating Scale(CARS),Psychological Education Scale 3rd Edition(PEP-3),Children's Anxiety Disorder Self Rating Scale(SCARED),and Children's Depression Self Rating Scale(DSRSC)between the two groups before and after treatment were compared,and their clinical efficacy was recorded.Results:Following treatment,the ATEC,ABC score levels of both groups of children were lower than those before treatment,and those of the observation group were lower than those of the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).After Treatment,the scores of CARS and PEP-3 in both groups of children improved,compared with the control group,the CARS score of children in the observation group was lower and the PEP-3 score was higher after treatment,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).After the treatment,the SCARED and DSRSC scores of the children in both groups decreased;compared with the control group,the above scores of the children in the observation group were lower after treatment,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The total clinical effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Conclusions:The combination of psychological guidance and sensory integration training shows a superior therapeutic effect on children with autism spectrum disorder,leading to significant improvements in condition severity and reductions in depression,anxiety,and other related emotions.
