Resumo
A psicomotricidade apresenta-se como uma alternativa não invasiva de minimizar os prejuízos dos distúrbios da Integração Sensorial, comuns em indivíduos autistas, norteando a proposta de intervenção do estudo. Nessa perspectiva esta pesquisa, de cunho qualitativo, tem como objetivo identificar as possíveis contribuições, em diferentes aspectos do cotidiano de crianças e adolescentes autistas, da estimulação psicomotora com foco na integração sensorial. Foi realizado o acompanhamento de cinco alunos, com idades entre 7 e 14 anos, com diagnóstico de autismo e levantados os possíveis benefícios obtidos ao longo de dez meses de intervenção. As sessões foram semanais, com duração aproximada de 50 minutos, no Laboratório de Estimulação Psicomotora do Departamento de Educação Física da Universidade Federal de Viçosa. Todas as sessões foram registradas por meio de relatório de observação semiestruturado, sendo realizadas entrevistas com o responsável e acompanhadas as atividades cotidianas por meio de relatos dos pais averiguados em todas as sessões. Os principais resultados observados foram alterações no comportamento desses alunos, que apresentavam inicialmente aproximações significativas com os quadros de autismo descritos na bibliografia norteadora deste trabalho: repulsa ao toque, isolamento, desinteresse por brinquedos e brincadeiras adequadas à sua idade, uso inadequado dos objetos, entre outros. Essas alterações comportamentais, somadas à tolerância às variações do ambiente e ampliação da capacidade de comunicação qualificaram positivamente os resultados.
The Psychomotricity presents itself as a non-invasive alternative to minimize the damage of disturbances of sensory integration, common in autistic individuals, guiding the intervention proposal of the study. From this perspective this research, of qualitative character, aims to identify the possible contributions in different aspects of everyday life of children and adolescents with autism, psychomotor stimulation focusing on sensory integration. It was performed a follow-up of five students, aged between 7 and 14 years, diagnosed with autism and surveyed the possible benefits achieved all over the ten months of intervention. The sessions were weekly, lasting about 50 minutes, at the Psychomotor Stimulation Laboratory in the Department of Physical Education at the Federal University of Viçosa. All sessions were recorded by means of semistructured observation report, and being performed interviews with the responsible and followed the everyday activities by means of parental records investigated in all sessions. The main results observed were changes in the these students behavior, who presented initially significant approximations with pictures of autism described in the literature guiding this work: repulsion to touch, isolation, lack of interest in toys and games appropriate to their age, inappropriate use of objects, among others. These behavioral changes, added to the tolerance to environmental variations and magnification of communication capacity qualified positively the results.
