Outline of Final Research Achievements

Eight children diagnosed with autism on the ADOS-2 received a one-year intervention using the Relationship Developmental Intervention (RDI), and pre- and post-intervention changes were assessed on the child's adaptive behavior scale, emotional and behavioral problems, and caregiver’s (mother) parenting stress. The Vineland-II Adaptive Behavior Scale showed significant improvement in the overall adaptive behavior score (p=0.034). Domain standardized scores showed significant improvement in Socialization Domain (p=0.018) and the sub-domain interpersonal relationships (p=0.018). However, no significant improvements were found for the Abnormal Behavior Checklist (ABC-J), the Child Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), and the Parenting Stress Index (PSI).

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

対人関係発達指導法(RDI)は、親子の関係調整をはかることにより、自閉スペクトラム症の子どもの中核的な障害の改善をはかるという画期的な療育方法であるが、これまでRDIが子どもの適応行動や行動上の課題へ与える効果に関する情報は極めて乏しかった。本研究で1年間のRDI介入による、自閉スペクトラム症の子どもの適応行動尺度の総スコアや社会性領域で有意な改善が報告され、RDIが有効な療育方法の一つである可能性が示された。一方で行動上の問題や養育者のストレスに関しては有意な改善は認められず、今後さらなる検証が必要であると考えられた。
