Abstract
This study aimed to overview of practical researches on interventions for people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), their caregivers, and their supporters published in Japanese since 2010. Of the 4,171 Japanese-language articles that corresponded to the keyword search, 148 articles were selected according to the selection criteria defined from the viewpoint of effectiveness verification. As a result, we found that: (1)the most common targets of intervention were "the child/person with ASD" followed by "the child/person with ASD and the caregiver"; (2) the most targeted ages were infancy and school age; and (3) The behavioral approach is the most widely used intervention method, and while it has achieved a certain level of intervention effectiveness, the results are not uniform in some cases. Future issues include (1) increasing the number of intervention studies in adolescence and adulthood, (2) conducting studies with control and waiting groups, and (3) the need for multifaceted evaluation and medium- to long-term follow-up.
