Progetto "SI RE MI" Sistema di rieducazione espressiva

Si Re Mi is an interactive audio system proposed as a game in which the main actors are the autistic child and an adult operator. The goal is to develop social and problem solving skills. In this intervention we considered the sensory profile of the infant that undergoes interactive sound stimulation. Four children (4-8 years) participated to the study. Three psychologists have observed recorded videos of the sessions completing an observation grid for each session. A statistical analysis has been performed on the first eight sessions, assessing the progression in time. The analysis of variance was used to assess eventual improvement in specific symptomatic areas. The results of the pilot study revealed a significant increase in skills. These variations in behavioral expressions reflect a relational evolution indicating the beginning of an opening attempt to perceive «the other» as positive entity and not as a threat.
