Translated title:
Positive effects of animals on children with autism spectrum disorder
Summary:
This study explores therapeutic interventions for children with Autism Spectrum
Disorder (ASD), focusing on the application and effectiveness of innovative
technologies and animal-assisted interventions. Initially, the study analyzes the nature
of ASD and its impact on daily life. Subsequently, various therapeutic approaches are
examined, such as the use of robotic animals, virtual reality, and social interactions
with real therapy animals, including therapy dogs and horses. Special emphasis is
placed on the contribution of robotic companions in reducing anxiety and improving
the social skills of children with ASD. Additionally, the study investigates the role of
animal-assisted therapy in the emotional and psychosocial development of children,
providing a comparative analysis of these interventions. Finally, the challenges and
ethical considerations associated with these technologies are discussed, along with
their future prospects for further development.
