Abstract
This study examines the evolution of activity's regulation and resistance to change of children and adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) when they use the numerical five cognitive and autonomy learnings domains of LearnEnjoy' applications with IPad. Participants were 40 (31 children and 9 adults) chronological ages from 3 years and 8 months to 36 years and 2 months and developmental ages from 2 to 6 years. Applications with IPad are proposed by expert in autism coaches during some weekly socio-cognitive rehabilitation sessions in the context of in a global developmental program, the Intervention-Development-Home-School-Firm-Supervision' Program (IDHSFS). The evolution of activity's regulation and resistance to change are respectively assessed with the Regulation-Adaptation-Modulation Grid (RAMG) and the resistance to change with the Repetitive, Restricted Behavior Scale (RBB) Scale. Assessments were carried out at the beginning of using the applications (C1), after three months (C2), and after three new months (C3). Comparative of RAMG scores C1, C2, C3 analysis show evidence of a no significate but variable according to the domains' increasing during the six months. Comparative of RBB scores C1 and C2 show evidence of a significate increasing during the first three months and a significate decreasing during the three last month (C2 and C3). Discussion emphasizes regulation and flexibility disabilities in autism and sublines the interests and necessity of numerical applications 'integration in a global development intervention program with an expert coaching in order to individualize, adapt their using and to control both disorders regulation and resistance to change.
