Author(s): Dibyajyoti Srichandan, Dr. Neha Jain and Dr. SK Meena
Abstract: Objective: The objective of this systematic review is to assess the effect of auditory integration training (AIT) on attention and concentration in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Methods: Qualitative studies were included in the review based on the predefined objectives and inclusion/exclusion criteria. Electronic databases including Google Scholar, Online Journals, Research Gate, Access Open, and PubMed were searched for relevant articles. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed using the PRISMA flow diagram. The selected articles were evaluated for clarity, content, methodology, and relevance. The findings of the studies were classified and tabulated, and the results were categorized under the themes of enhanced occupational therapy interventions and the effect of AIT on attention and concentration in children with ASD.Results: Out of 250 potentially relevant studies, 200 duplicates were excluded, and 25 studies did not meet the inclusion criteria. Ten qualitative studies conducted between 2010 and 2022 were included in the review. The majority of the studies were conducted in hospital settings. The reviewed studies investigated the effectiveness of AIT and music therapy interventions in improving attention and concentration in children with ASD. Conclusion: The systematic review suggests that AIT holds promise for improving attention and concentration in children with ASD. However, further research is needed to strengthen the evidence and refine the treatment protocols for AIT. The findings of this review emphasize the potential of AIT as an intervention to address attention and concentration deficits in children with ASD.
