본 연구는 만 4-5세의 자폐범주성장애 아동 4명을 대상으로 음악 조건과 비음악 조건의 단계적 상호 주의 중재를 교대로 실시하여 공동주의 기술 향상에 미치는 중재 효과를 비교하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 단일대상연구의 한 가지 방법인 교대중재설계를 사용하였고, 음악 조건과 비음악 조건의 중재를 사전에 결정된 무작위 순서에 따라 회기 내 교대로 실시하였다. 총 23회기의 전체 프로그램은 기초선(3회기), 중재(15회기), 유지(5회기)의 절차로 이루어졌다. 음악 조건에서는 구조화된 공동 악기 연주, 음악적 신호(cue)에 따른 주의전환, 상호적 악기연주가 이루어졌고, 비음악 조건에서는 조립장난감을 이용한 공동 놀이, 언어적 신호에 따른 주의전환, 장난감 주고받기가 이루어졌다. 중재 내 나타난 공동주의 행동 변화는 공동주의 반응행동과 얼굴 쳐다보기, 공동 활동에 참여하기의 발생 빈도로 측정되었고, 중재 사전 사후에는 초기 사회-의사소통 평가를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 두가지 조건 모두에서 공동주의 행동이 증가하는 추이를 보였으나, 음악 조건이 비음악 조건에 비해 증가하는 폭이 크고 더 높은 수준에서 유지되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 도출된 결과는 구조화된 음악적 환경 안에서, 음악을 통해 사회적 정보를 처리하고 주의를 조절하는 중재가 자폐범주성장애 아동의 공동주의 행동을 향상시키는 데 효과적임을 시사한다.

Objectives:This study was conducted in order to evaluate the effectiveness of a day-center treatment program to promote development of children with pervasive development disorder (PDD) and pervasive development disorder/mental retardation (PDD/MR). Methods:Twenty five children (14 in the PDD group and 11 in the PDD/MR group) participated in a day-center treatment program. They had been enrolled in the whole program for 2-3 years. Their performance was evaluated according to the Preschool Language Scale (PRES), Social Maturity Scale (SMS), and Korean version of the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). They were grouped by diagnosis at the beginning of the program and the treatment effect was compared. Results:Children who participated in the day-center treatment program showed a significant increase in their PRES and SMS scores and a decrease in their CARS scores. Conclusions:A day-center treatment program is effective for development of children with PDD and PDD/MR.

This study was performed on 26 disabled adolescent participants (16 male, 10 female) with the objective of testing changes in equilibrium after engagement in horseback riding. Participants of total 26 persons were divided into three groups as follows: 6 children with Cerebral Palsy (CP), 14 children with Intellectual Disability (ID) and 6 children with Autism (AT). Participants engaged in therapeutic horseback riding (TR) two times per week for 30 minutes per session. The 26 participants demonstrated a considerable increase in equilibrium ability, with an average increase in equilibrium time of $44.22{\pm}50.70$ sec after TR. Equilibrium also increased according to disability group: CP (P < 0.05), ID (P < 0.001), and AT (P < 0.05). TR should be considered as a possible method for improving functionality in the physically disabled. This data may also be usefully applied to the development of a horseback riding program for the improvement of equilibrium in the disabled.

Purpose: This study examines changes in developmental profiles of children with language delay over time and the clinical significance of assessment conducted at age 2-3 years. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 70 children (62 male, 8 female), who had visited the hospital because of delayed language development at 2-3 years, and were reassessed at ages 5-6. Language and cognitive abilities were assessed using multiple scales at the initial and follow-up visits. Results: At the initial test, 62 of the 70 children had mental development index (MDI) below 70 of Bayley Scales of Infant Development Test II. Of the 62 children in the follow-up assessment, 30 children (48.4%) remained within the same cognitive range (full-scale intelligence quotient, FSIQ<70 of Wechsler preschool and primary scale of intelligence), 12 had borderline intellectual functioning (FSIQ, 70-85), 6 improved to average intellectual functioning (FSIQ>85), and 5 had specific language impairment, 9 had autism spectrum disorders. At the initial test, 38 of the 70 children had cognitive developmental quotients (C-DQ) below 70. Of the 38 children in the follow-up assessment, 23 children (60.5%) remained within the same cognitive range (FSIQ<70). The correlation coefficient for MDI and FSIQ was 0.530 (P<0.0001) and that for C-DQ and FSIQ was 0.727 (P<0.0001). There was a strong correlation between C-DQ and FSIQ, and a moderate correlation between MDI and FSIQ. Conclusion: Low MDI scores reflect a specific delay in cognitive abilities, communication skills, or both. The C-DQ, receptive language development quotient, and social maturity quotient also help to distinguish between children with isolated language delay and children with cooccurring cognitive impairment. Moreover, changes in the developmental profile during preschool years are not unusual in children with language delay. Follow-up reassessments prior to the start of school are required for a more accurate diagnosis and intervention.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a day-hospital treatment program designed to help development of children with pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) and mental retardation (MR). Methods : Retrospective review of the charts of 32 children (28 with PDD, 4 with MR), who participated in a day-hospital treatment program of Seoul Metropolitan Eunpyeong Hospital, from October 2008 to February 2012, was conducted. Development level of each patient was evaluated according to the Psycho-Educational Profile-Revised (PEP-R), Social Maturity Scale (SMS), and Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). Evaluation was done at two points, before participation and after 1 year participation. Results : Children who participated in the day-hospital treatment program showed significant improvement in all categories of PEP-R, SMS, and CARS. Conclusion : Day-hospital treatment program is effective for helping development of children with PDD and MR.

Objectives : Urocanase domain containing 1 (UROC1) has never been studied in prior studies on autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). UROC1 causes urocanic aciduria, one of the symptoms of which is mental retardation. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the UROC1 gene and ASDs in a Korean population. Methods : A total of 258 control and 214 patients with ASD were used as subjects of this study. SNPs selected from UROC1 were genotyped using Illumina Golden-Gate Genotyping assay with VeraCode$^{(R)}$ technology. Statistical analysis was performed using SAS and Plink software. Results : We found no association of the 12 SNPs in the UROC1 gene with ASDs in a Korean population. Conclusion : Our study suggests that the 12 SNPs (11 SNPs and 1 SNP in the intron and 3'UTR region, respectively) in the UROC1 were not associated with ASDs in a Korean population. Further study on the exon region of UROC1 is needed.

목적 : 감각통합기반의 가족중심코칭이 자폐스펙트럼장애(Autism Spectrum Disorder; ASD)아동의 작업수행도와 만족도에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 2020년 4월 16일~ 2020년 8월 6일까지 기준에 부합하는 3-6세 ASD 아동 10명과 보호자 10명이 참여하였다. 캐나다 작업수행 평가(Canadian Occupational Performance Measure; COPM)로 아동의 작업 수행도와 만족도를 평가하였고, 목표성취척도(Goal Attainment Scaling; GAS)로 아동의 작업수행을 평가하였다. 실험군은 기존에 받고 있는 감각통합치료와 함께 주 1회 60분, 4주간 가정방문 및 영상통화로 시행되는 목표활동에 대한 개별화된 가족중심코칭을 받았다. 통제군은 기존에 받고있는 감각통합치료와 함께 목표활동에 대한 감각통합기반의 일반적인 상담으로 진행하였다. 중재 전과 후의 집단별 COPM의 수행도와 만족도, GAS 점수 변화를 비교하기 위해 Wilcoxon 부호 순위 검정을 사용하였고, 중재 전후 집단 간의 COPM의 수행도와 만족도, GAS의 점수의 차이를 비교하기 위해 Mann-Whitney U 검정을 사용하였다. 두 집단 간의 효과크기를 확인하기 위해 Cohen's d를 사용하였다. 결과 : 실험군과 통제군 모두 중재 전과 후에 COPM 수행도와 만족도, GAS의 점수에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<.05). 집단 간의 중재 전과 후의 COPM 수행도 점수는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았지만, Cohen's d 값의 결과 COPM 수행도(d=.913)에서 큰 효과를 보였다. COPM 만족도와 GAS 점수는 모두 두 집단 간 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였고(p<.05), Cohen's d 값의 결과 COPM 만족도(d=2.768), GAS 점수(d=2.786) 모두 큰 효과를 보였다. 결론 : 감각통합기반의 가족중심코칭이 감각통합기반의 일반적인 상담보다 ASD 아동의 작업 수행도와 만족도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 볼 수 있다.

The purpose of this review is to examine the clinical use of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders. Many studies have been conducted using objective evaluation tools for psychiatric evaluation, such as predicting psychiatric symptoms and treatment responses. Compared to other tools, fNIRS has the advantage of being a noninvasive, inexpensive, and portable method and can be used with patients in the awake state. This study mainly focused on its use in patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder. We hope that research involving fNIRS will be actively conducted in various diseases in the future.
