Abstract: Objective To explore the impact of applying behavioral training (ABA) combined with the "60-point mother theory" on the rehabilitation treatment of children with autism.Methods Totally 62 children with autism admitted to the Rehabilitation Center from June 2020 to January 2022 were selected as the research subjects. According to the principle of matching basic features between groups, they were divided into a control group and an observation group, with 31 cases in each group. The control group received comprehensive rehabilitation treatment, with ABA training as the main intervention. The observation group received ABA training combined with the "60-point mother theory" as an auxiliary guide. The autism behavior of the two groups of children before treatment and three months after treatment were compared by Autism Behavior Checklist(ABC). The Psychological Education Scale (PEP-3) for autism spectrum and related developmental disorders was used to make a comprehensive evaluation of the children with autism.Results After 3 months of intervention, the improvement in PEP-3 scores in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group(P<0.05).The total ABC scores of the two groups were lower on discharge than on admission, and the observation group was lower than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The use of ABA training combined with the "60-point mother theory" is of great significance in children with autism, as it can effectively improve the overall developmental functional level and alleviate clinical symptoms of children with autism.
