Resumen

STEYER, Simone; LAMOGLIA, Aliny  y  BOSA, Cleonice Alves. The importance of evaluating training programs aimed at the identification of early markers of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Temas psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.26, n.3, pp. 1395-1410. ISSN 1413-389X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.9788/TP2018.3-10Pt.

In recent years, knowledge about the early manifestations of Autism Spectrum Disorder ASD has increased significantly. This has given children the potential benefit of receiving the earliest possible interventions, which contribute to reducing the risk of more serious manifestations of symptoms and to improving the prognosis. Nonetheless, late diagnosis is still a worldwide reality. For this reason, developing strategies for identifying early markers has been considered one of the priorities of ASD research, principally within the public health context. Accordingly, the present study's objective is to discuss the importance of developing training programs focused on early identification of ASD in public health, programs that are founded upon the following processes: (a) identification of qualitative differences in the social communication and behavioral development of children with suspected ASD; (b) consideration of developmental surveillance principles in conjunction with developmental and neurodevelopmental theoretical concepts; and (c) assessment of such programs' effectiveness within the context of the human sciences.

Palabras clave : Autism disorder; effectiveness; public health; Autism Spectrum Disorder; training program; early markers.
