Abstract
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social communication deficits, restricted interests, and stereotyped behaviors [1]. Psychological treatment is an important component of rehabilitation for children with ASD. This paper reviews the currently commonly used psychological treatment methods, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Treatment and Education ofAutistic and related Communication-handicapped Children (TEACCH), Social Stories, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, and Family Therapy, and discusses the efficacy and applicability of each method. With the deepening understanding of ASD and the development of evidencebased practice, psychological treatment plays an increasingly important role in improving the core symptoms of children with ASD.
