Evaluation of Occupational Performance Imitation Intervention on Three Imitation Learnings among Autism: Case Series

This study determined the effect of Occupational Performance Imitation Intervention (OPII) on three imitation learning among autism using a case series design. Six children with autism participated in this study with aged between four to six and half years. These children randomly divided into three groups. In each group received different types of stimulation, which included visual imitation, auditory imitation and visuoauditory imitation. Total 15 weeks of a programme conducted with one week of a pre-test, ten weeks of intervention and follow-up conducted after three weeks of post intervention. The finding indicates all three groups showed improvements in after received OPII. In future need to examine the well-designed study with larger sample size.
