Abstract

The changes in Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are characterized by persistent deficiencies in communication and social interaction, besides of restrictive and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests and activities. The family is the first and foremost social agent, where basis of social relationships and affective bonds are created. This study explores and describes the family relations established through spontaneous plays, in families, parents and children with an early diagnosis of ASD. Through a study of multiple cases, of qualitative nature, exploratory and not experimental, a plan of intervention of Occupational Therapy was established and applied to three families with children who have ASD. In order to keep record of experiences, during interventions a field diary and recorded videos were used, and in order to determine parents’ perception, semi-structured interviews were conducted. Results showed that family relations between parents and children with ASD are, at least moderately modified and in some cases substantially modified, due to the participation of the family through plays in the treatment of Occupational Therapy. The conclusion would be that family relation between parents and children with ASD can be modified through the play, as activity and principal occupation which is relevant for the development of the child from the intervention of Occupational Therapy. New interaction skills with families and children were observed.
