Summary:
Knowing the impact of the Modelo Sentido´s® (MS) on the gain of adaptive behaviors in children on the autism spectrum (AS) and other associated neurodevelopmental challenges (ANDC), is essential to improve the quality of life of children, families and professionals who live with neurodevelopmental challenges; inform parents about the efficacy and effectiveness of the interventions offered; provide scientific knowledge required by government agencies, public and private policy makers to make informed decisions about which intervention they should support; contribute with a manualized intervention program contextually appropriate to the strengths and challenge within a low- and middle-income country, which can potentially be modified by reverse engineering to apply it to environments that require it in high-income countries.

MS is a proposal for understanding and therapeutic intervention on the dimensional complexity involved in the challenges of neurodevelopment. MS provides a clinical practice framework that generates, drives, and sustains interaction and collaboration between disciplines converging in transdisciplinarity. MS promotes understanding, reasoning, and intervention on the Bio-Neuro-Sensory-Psycho-Social-Spiritual-Occupational-Nutritional-Ecological dimensions of childhoods in AS and other ANDC, their significant caregivers and intervening therapists. MS focuses its bases on three evidence-based frameworks: the applied behavior analysis (ABA), sensory integration (SI) and psychoimmunoneuroendocrinology (PINE) correlate of the neurobiology of stress. Which emerge from behavioral sciences, developmental sciences, neurosciences, and stress sciences. Evidence supports that interventions in children with AS beyond addressing core symptoms should focus on outcome measures, such as quality of life and adaptive functioning. MS focuses its programs on supporting and accompaniment to parents and significant caregivers as a fundamental aspect for gaining adaptive behaviors in childhood. MS provides tools that encourage and develop adaptive behaviors in childhood in EA and other ANDC; In turn, MS enhances the families' competencies, confidence, and caring skills towards their child.

Primary Outcome Measures: To describe the impact of Modelo Sentido's® on the adaptive behaviors of the infancy between 3 and 7 years old, on the autism spectrum and other associated neurodevelopmental challenges., To describe the impact of the Modelo Sentido's® on the adaptive behaviors of the infancy aged 3 to 7 years, on the autism spectrum and other associated neurodevelopmental challenges, attending Sentido's Therapeutic Organization, Pediatric Comprehensive Care Center and Intensive Behavioral Intervention Center (Comodoro Rivadavia, Chubut, Argentina) during a 17-week period, from October 2023 to October 2024., 17 week, from october 2023 to October 2024|To detect and describe through the administration of Vineland-3 (Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales - Third Edition) the domains and subdomains of adaptive behaviors/skills acquired after 17 weeks in children aged 3 to 7 years in EA and DNDA., The Vineland-3 Comprehensive Interview, Parent Form contains 502 items designed to measure five domains, including Communication, Daily Living Skills, Socialization, Motor Skills, and Maladaptive Behavior. In this study, we will focus on the 12 subdomains that contribute to the Communication, Daily Living Skills, and Socialization domains. In each subdomain, key behaviors are organized developmentally such that behaviors expected of very young children precede those expected of older children and so on., 17 week, from october 2023 to October 2024|To describe the facts observed with respect to the goals agreed upon with the significant caregivers of the children between 3 and 7 years old in the EA and DNDA and their intervening therapists, through the Goal attainment scaling., It is a consistent outcome measure for evaluating aspects of therapeutic progress that are difficult to assess using standardized measures.

The GAS standard measurement system is based on a 5-point response scale: -2 (worst expected outcome), -1 (lower than expected outcome), 0 (expected outcome), +1 (higher than expected outcome) and +2 (much higher than expected outcome)., 17 week, from october 2023 to October 2024
