Abstract：Objective To investigate effect of rehabilitation in medical institutions combined with family rehabilitation training in treatment of children with autism. Methods A total of 128 children with autism admitted during February 2012 and May 2015 were randomly divided into combination group and routine group ( n=64 for each group) . Combination group was treated with rehabilitation in medical institutions combined with family rehabilitation training, while routine group received rehabilitation in medical institutions only. Scores of Autism Behavioral Checklist ( ABC ) , Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist ( ATEC) and the Chinese version of the Psycho-education Profile ( C-PEP) before and after treatment for 12 months were compared in two groups. Results There were no statistically significant differences in ABC, ATEC and c-pep scores be-fore treatment between the two groups (P>0. 05). After treatment for 12 months, in combination group, the sub-item and to-tal scores of ABC and ATEC were significantly lower, while the sub-item and total scores of C-PEP were significantly higher than those in routine group (P<0. 05). Conclusion Rehabilitation in medical institutions combined with family rehabilita-tion training can significantly improve pathogenetic conditions, and eliminate psychological problems in treatment of children with autism.
