Primary aim: evaluate the effect of MITA application on language improvement in children with Autism.
Secondary aim: evaluate the effect of MITA application on sociability and cognitive awareness in children with Autism.
One of the most important behavioral and developmental features that suggest autism is language delays and deviations, so that social communication and social interaction is a real challenge during management of ASD patients.
Among individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder ASD, the prevalence of prefrontal synthesis (PFS) paralysis is 30 to 40% ,and may be as high as 60% among children enrolled into special ASD schools The management of ASD is mainly non-pharmacological like cognitive, behavioral, speech therapy which may help to maximize communication skills The use of technology in the delivery of much needed therapy called digital therapeutics promises to be effective for shrinking the gap between the therapy that is recommended for children with ASD and the amount they receive. There has been a promising trend towards computer-based interventions which capitalize on the often observed preference children with ASD show for flat screen information.
Mental imaginary therapy for autism MITA application hypothesized to be used in early PFS-targeting intervention can improve language ability in children with ASD .
