Relations entre particularités sensorielles et imitation chez les enfants TSA de 3 à 5 ans

Résumé

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neuro-developmental disorder resulting on atypicalcognitive development characterized by communication and language disorders, restricted behaviorsand sensory abnormalities, present in the most of subjects. These abnormalities cause many disorders,including motor and sensory-motor troubles. Imitation, which is characterized by the coordination bet-ween a visually perceived behavior and actively produced behavior, is in this perspective, a sophisticatedsensory-motor coordination. It is strongly troubled in children with ASD, with significant negative effectson their future socio-communicative development. The aim of this research is to determine if imitationdisorders increase with the number of sensory abnormalities.Methods. – Twenty-two children (18 boys), aged from 3 to 5 years, were included in this study. Autism wasassessed by the Chilhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) and the Autism Diagnostic Observation schedule(ADOS). Dunn’s Sensory and Revised Perceptual Profile was administered to determine the sensory profile for five senses: visual, auditive, tactile, proprioceptive and vestibular. Four types of imita-tion were evaluated: facial, motor, vocal and object. Statistical analyzes were conducted on the differentscores obtained.Results. – All children with autism have sensory abnormalities and imitation disorders. The more thechildren have sensory particularities, especially visual, the more their imitation skills are weak, especiallyin facial imitation. Imitation on object, conversely, seems less impacted.Conclusion. – The sensory abnormalities could constitute a screen to the realization of the imitative tasks,by preventing the children to reach the social dimension of the imitation for example. These resultsillustrate the need to take into account these sensory features in specific care.
