20.500.12556/ReVIS-12153 Posledice pandemije COVID-19 na otroke z motnjo avtističnega spektra in njihove skrbnike magistrsko delo študijskega programa druge bolonjske stopnje Avtizem in sorodne motnje Ukrepi pandemije Covid-19 so močno vplivali na življenje otrok z motnjo avtističnega spektra (MAS) in njihovih skrbnikov. Otroci z MAS potrebujejo ustaljene rutine in predvidljivo okolje, saj jim to zagotavlja občutek varnosti in stabilnosti. Spremembe lahko pri njih povzročijo stisko, poslabšanje simptomov, vedenjskih vzorcev in duševnega zdravja. Magistrska naloga preučuje vpliv pandemije na vedenje, socialne veščine, duševno zdravje ter dostopnost terapevtskih storitev pri otrocih z MAS in njihovih skrbnikih. Cilj je določiti strategije za izboljšanje podpore tej ranljivi skupini v podobnih situacijah v prihodnosti. Poseben poudarek je na prilagoditvah družin in vplivu sprememb na družinsko dinamiko. Teoretični del temelji na pregledu literature o MAS, strukturiranem okolju, stabilnih rutinah, terapevtski podpori in izzivih med pandemijo. Empirični del analizira 25 raziskav (2020–2022), pri čemer so ugotovitve predstavljene tabelarno in grafično s kvalitativno obravnavo podatkov. Rezultati kažejo, da so otroci z MAS in njihovi skrbniki doživeli motnje v rutinah, povečano socialno izolacijo ter izzive pri izobraževanju na daljavo, kar je poslabšalo simptome MAS in duševno zdravje. Skrbniki so se soočali z visokimi ravnmi stresa, kar je negativno vplivalo na družinsko dinamiko. Družine, ki so uvedle prilagoditve, kot so teleterapije in vizualni pripomočki, so izkazale večjo odpornost. Naloga poudarja potrebo po trajnostnih rešitvah, kot so prilagodljive strategije, digitalne in mobilne terapevtske storitve ter inkluzivni šolski programi, ki bi bolje podprli otroke z MAS in njihove skrbnike, zlasti v kriznih situacijah. The C-19 pandemic measures have significantly affected the lives of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their caregivers. Children with ASD require structured routines and a predictable environment to ensure a sense of security and stability. Disruptions to these routines can lead to distress, exacerbation of symptoms, behavioral challenges, and deterioration of mental health. This master's thesis examines the impact of the pandemic on the behavior, social skills, mental health, and access to therapeutic services for children with ASD and their caregivers. The objective is to identify strategies to enhance support for this vulnerable group in similar future crises. Particular emphasis is placed on family adaptations and the effects of changes on family dynamics. The theoretical framework is based on a literature review of ASD, structured environments, stable routines, therapeutic support, and challenges faced during the pandemic. The empirical section analyzes 25 studies conducted between 2020 and 2022, presenting findings in tabular and graphical formats with a qualitative analysis of the data. The results indicate that children with ASD and their caregivers experienced disruptions in routines, increased social isolation, and challenges with remote education, all of which worsened ASD symptoms and mental health. Caregivers faced high levels of stress, negatively impacting family dynamics. However, families that implemented adaptations, such as teletherapy and visual aids, demonstrated greater resilience. The study highlights the need for sustainable solutions, including adaptable strategies, digital and mobile therapeutic services, and inclusive educational programs to better support children with ASD and their caregivers, particularly in crisis situations. motnja avtističnega spektra (MAS) otroci z MAS in pandemija COVID-19 duševno zdravje otrok z MAS socialni razvoj otrok z MAS rutine otrok z MAS autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children with ASD and the COVID-19 pandemic mental health of children with ASD social development of children with ASD routines of children with ASD true false false S.
