Publisher's Synopsis
Autism can be defined as a persistent deficit in communication and social interaction in multiple contexts, as well as restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests and activities. Based on this, we tried to evaluate the scientific productions on the benefits of early intervention in the treatment of children with ASD. Using as a research design integrative literature review and having as a guiding question: "What are the benefits in the use of early intervention in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder? Applying the PICO strategy, with the use of keywords and descriptors, Bireme, CINAHL and PubMed databases were consulted. The studies addressed the efficacy of early interventions in the development of skills and symptom alleviation due to the disorder and the importance of parents/caregivers in the application of the interventions. Early interventions provide clinical and educational benefits, each intervention should stimulate a particular area affected by ASD, increasing this stimulation as the child progresses in each skill.
