Quelles interventions thérapeutiques pour l’autisme?

   ‣ Il n’existe pas de
     traitement
     médicamenteux
     ciblant les symptômes
     de l’autisme

   ‣ Les interventions les
     plus efficaces à ce
     jour sont
     comportementales
Pr Marie Schaer Université de Genève - 1er congrès national de l'autisme
Le temps compte…
Pr Marie Schaer Université de Genève - 1er congrès national de l'autisme
Intervenir précocement est primordial

‣ Une intervention précoce et
  intensive permet:
  de diminuer les symptômes
  de l’autisme
  d’améliorer la communication
  d’améliorer les compétences
  cognitives
  d’améliorer durablement le
  fonctionnement au quotidien,
  p.ex. meilleure intégration
  scolaire

L’expérience de Genève en intervention précoce
L’intervention précoce à Genève, dirigée par Hilary Wood de Wilde

   ‣ Depuis 2010, les CIPAs (Centre d’Intervention Précoce en Autisme) offrent une
     intervention intensive suivant le Early Start Denver Model (Rogers & Dawson, 2010)

   ‣ Ce programme suit la motivation et les intérêts de l’enfant, et renforce la
     communication réciproque entre le psychologue et l’enfant par un focus sur les
     affects positifs

   ‣ 20h de thérapie par semaine, 5 jours par semaine, pour une durée de 2-2.5 ans

   ‣ Actuellement, 36 enfants âgés de 1 à 4 ans bénéficient de cette approche

                http://www.pole-autisme.ch
L’intervention précoce à Genève, dirigée par Hilary Wood de Wilde

   ‣ Un programme
      très structuré mais ludique
      individualisé pour chaque enfant
      qui vise à développer l’envie de l’enfant d’entrer en contact, augmenter ses
      capacités de communication, de partage d’intérêts, et son autonomie dans
      la vie quotidienne

Mesurer la réponse au traitement

‣ Plus l’intervention commence tôt et est intensive, meilleur est le bénéfice
‣ Cela souligne l’importance d’établir un diagnostic très précoce, ce qui n’est
  pas toujours facile sur la seule base des symptômes

Résumé intermédiaire

   ‣ Même si une réduction de l’orientation sociale
     émerge déjà pendant la 1e année de vie, c’est
     surtout entre 2 et 4 ans que l’écart commence à
     se creuser en termes de compréhension des
     interactions sociales et de développement cérébral

   ‣ La période de 2 à 4 ans représente donc une
