Application of art appreciation in neuropsychological intervention and cognitive improvement of autistic children

Abstract

Background

Autism is also called autism because of its lonely behavior. It is a widespread developmental symptom in children. In the industry, neuropsychological intervention for children with autism spectrum disorders has been widely concerned. Conventional neuropsychological intervention for autistic children is mostly drug therapy, which has a large side effect. As a form of art, art appreciation has been put forward on the neuropsychological cure of children. It is different from the traditional language psychotherapy, which usually takes artistic activities as a medium to help mental and psychological therapy. Therefore, the research will apply art appreciation to the treatment of autistic children’s neuropsychology, and provide basis for their clinical diagnosis and treatment by predicting their behavior.

Subjects and Methods

The study took children aged 3-6 years old before school as the subjects. Each child suffered from autism. Since there were fewer girls with autism spectrum, 30 children were screened in the study, including 21 boys and 9 girls. The study observed the behavioral development level, art appreciation level and emotional communication level of 30 children before and after auxiliary diagnosis and treatment, and compared the scores of the three factors before and after diagnosis and treatment. The experimental results are shown in Figure 1.

Results

The statistics showed the effect of art appreciation and rehabilitation therapy. The three indexes were higher than those before the experiment, and the P values were lower than 0.05. In addition, after the experiment, the behavioral development level of the children increased to 25.43 ± 5.70 points, and their emotional communication score also increased to 15.22 ± 4.06 points. To sum up, art appreciation is effective in the neuropsychological treatment of autistic children, which can effectively improve the cognition of autistic children and alleviate cognitive barriers.

Conclusions

In medical research and clinical diagnosis, the diagnosis of autistic children cannot simply use simple medical diagnosis. Its particularity indicates the need for multidisciplinary treatment. The particularity of art appreciation can not only attract children’s attention, but also alleviate their cognitive barriers. From the experimental results, the special effect of art appreciation has a certain auxiliary effect on the rehabilitation of autistic children. In the future research hypothesis, a diagnosis and evaluation system suitable for domestic autistic children can be constructed through art appreciation, so as to improve the physical and mental health of autistic children more effectively.Figure 1.
