Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of autism intervention technology, specifically to a family-based psychological intervention system and method for autism. Background Technology

[0002] Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a pervasive developmental disorder. Current research indicates that parents of autistic children, especially mothers, often face severe anxiety and depression, and there is a significant correlation between parental mental health and symptom relief in children. Traditional intervention methods often focus on the individual child, neglecting the overall impact of the family system on the child's recovery. Studies published in *The Lancet* and other journals suggest the need for a systematic and individualized care approach that prioritizes the mental health of family members. Therefore, a comprehensive intervention system and methodology based on family systems theory is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a family-based psychological intervention system and method for autism, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a family psychological intervention system for autism, comprising a dynamic monitoring module for family psychological state, a module for integrating multiple psychological therapy techniques, a module for physiological and synergistic rehabilitation intervention, a module for optimizing family interaction patterns, a module for generating personalized intervention plans, a module for real-time evaluation and dynamic adjustment of intervention effects, a module for integrating family support resources, and a module for observing and providing feedback on children's behavior.

[0005] The family psychological state dynamic monitoring module enables real-time and objective monitoring of parents' psychological state and family interaction patterns, providing a data foundation for subsequent intervention;

[0006] The integrated module of multiple psychotherapy technologies provides parents with personalized psychotherapy plans to alleviate anxiety, depression or other negative emotions.

[0007] The physiological-coordinated rehabilitation intervention module enhances the improvement of mental state by combining physiological intervention with psychological therapy.

[0008] The family interaction mode optimization module is used to improve communication and collaboration within the family and create a harmonious family psychological atmosphere.

[0009] The personalized intervention plan generation module provides each family with customized intervention strategies, improving the targeting and effectiveness of the intervention;

[0010] The real-time evaluation and dynamic adjustment module for intervention effectiveness ensures that the intervention plan always adapts to the family's needs and improves the intervention effect;

[0011] The family support resource integration module is used to enhance the social support system for families to cope with autism and improve their confidence and ability to help their children recover.

[0012] The child behavior observation and feedback module monitors children's behavior in real time, providing direct data support at the child level for adjusting intervention plans.

[0013] Preferably, the family psychological state dynamic monitoring module monitors the psychological state of family members in real time through multimodal data acquisition technology; it uses standardized psychological scales (such as the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS)) to conduct periodic psychological assessments of parents, and combines wearable devices (such as heart rate variability sensors and skin conductance sensors) to collect physiological indicators. It uses machine learning algorithms to establish a psychological state model to identify anxiety, depression and their changing trends; at the same time, it records family interaction scenes through video analysis technology, extracts interaction features such as communication frequency, tone of voice and body language, and constructs a family interaction relationship map.

[0014] Preferably, the multi-faceted psychotherapy technology integration module integrates multiple evidence-based psychotherapy techniques to intervene in parents' psychological problems; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) guides parents to accept their own emotions, clarify core values, and enhance psychological resilience; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies and corrects negative cognitive patterns, such as excessive worry and catastrophic thinking; Breath-guided nerve relaxation technology regulates the autonomic nervous system through specific breathing frequencies, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, and relieves anxiety and tension; and Virtual Reality (VR) technology is combined to construct relaxation scenarios, enhance immersion, and improve relaxation effects.

[0015] Preferably, the physiological synergistic rehabilitation intervention module is based on the theory of mind-body interaction, which improves the physiological state of family members and promotes psychological rehabilitation through physical therapy; the micro-pressure oxygen chamber improves brain oxygen supply by increasing blood oxygen partial pressure, regulates the function of the central nervous system, and alleviates neurophysiological abnormalities related to anxiety and depression; transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses pulsed magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain (such as the prefrontal cortex), regulates the secretion of neurotransmitters (such as serotonin and dopamine), and improves mood regulation ability; biofeedback training collects physiological signals from electromyography and electroencephalography, enabling parents to learn to control physiological indicators autonomously and establish a self-regulation mechanism for relaxation of mind and body.

[0016] Preferably, the family interaction mode optimization module, based on family systems theory, analyzes the division of roles, communication patterns, and emotional transmission mechanisms in family interactions, and identifies interaction links that lead to family tension; through role-playing and scenario simulation techniques, it guides family members to learn effective communication skills (such as active listening and empathetic expression), and reconstructs an equal and supportive interaction mode; it establishes a family task collaboration mechanism, designs parent-child interactive games and family common goal setting activities, and enhances the emotional connection and cooperative awareness among family members.

[0017] Preferably, the personalized intervention plan generation module, based on the family psychological state and interaction pattern data obtained by the monitoring module and the child's autism symptom assessment results (such as the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) and the Autism Behavior Scale (ABC), uses artificial intelligence technologies such as decision tree algorithms and neural network models to construct a personalized intervention plan generation model. This model comprehensively considers individual differences among family members (such as age, educational background, and psychological resilience), family structure (nuclear family / single-parent family), and the severity of the child's symptoms, and automatically generates a personalized intervention plan that includes a psychotherapy plan, a physiological rehabilitation plan, family interaction training content, and a schedule.

[0018] Preferably, the real-time evaluation and dynamic adjustment module for intervention effectiveness establishes a multi-dimensional effectiveness evaluation system, including indicators of improvement in parents' psychological state (such as changes in SAS and SDS scores), indicators of family interaction quality (such as interaction frequency and the proportion of positive communication), and indicators of symptom relief in children (such as language expression ability and improvement in social interaction). Through regular data collection and analysis, the intervention effectiveness is evaluated using statistical methods (such as repeated measures ANOVA). When the intervention effectiveness is found to be unsatisfactory or the family situation changes (such as new stressful events), the program adjustment mechanism is triggered, and the intervention program generation module re-optimizes the intervention program to achieve dynamic feedback adjustment.

[0019] Preferably, the family support resource integration module integrates external support resources to build an online and offline support network. The online platform provides psychological education courses (such as autism knowledge dissemination and family care skills), expert consultation services, and a parent exchange community to promote experience sharing among families; offline, it organizes parent workshops, parent-child activity days, and family therapy groups, inviting psychologists, education experts, and rehabilitation therapists to provide face-to-face guidance; and it establishes cooperation mechanisms with medical institutions, schools, and community service centers to achieve information sharing and referral services, providing comprehensive support for families.

[0020] Preferably, the child behavior observation and feedback module uses a camera (with privacy protection processing) installed in the home environment to identify abnormal behaviors in children using computer vision technology (such as stereotyped movements and social avoidance behaviors), and combines this with speech recognition technology to analyze the child's language expression; it also performs correlation analysis with the observed behavioral data and changes in family psychological state and interaction patterns during the intervention process, providing direct evidence for evaluating the improvement of children's symptoms and adjusting the intervention plan; at the same time, it provides feedback to parents on changes in children's behavior through a visual interface, enhancing parents' perception of the intervention effect.

[0021] An intervention method for a family-based psychological intervention system for autism includes the following steps:

[0022] Step 1: Household Baseline Data Collection and Assessment Phase (Weeks 1-2)

[0023] The family psychological state dynamic monitoring module was used to assess parents using the SAS and SDS psychological scales, and to collect 72 hours of physiological data by wearing wearable devices; three family interaction scenarios (30 minutes each) were recorded and the interaction patterns were analyzed.

[0024] The child behavior observation and feedback module uses the CARS and ABC scales to assess the symptoms of autism in children and record their daily behavior (such as language ability, social interaction, range of interests, etc.).

[0025] By integrating parental psychological data, family interaction data, and child symptom data, a family baseline profile is established to identify the types of parental psychological problems (such as anxiety-predominant or depression-predominant), major family interaction problems (such as communication breakdowns or excessive critical language), and core child symptoms (such as language deficits or social avoidance).

[0026] Step 2: Personalized Intervention Plan Development Phase (Week 3)

[0027] The personalized intervention program generation module generates an initial intervention program based on baseline data, prioritizing parents with severe anxiety / depression and considering family interaction patterns. For example, if the mother has a high depression score and the father has low involvement in family interactions, the program will include an ACT+CBT psychotherapy combination for the mother, twice a week; family interaction training involving both parents (such as parent-child collaborative drawing tasks), three times a week; and for physical rehabilitation, the mother will receive 30 minutes of microhyperbaric oxygen therapy daily, and both parents will participate in breathing-guided nerve relaxation training twice a day for 15 minutes each time.

[0028] The plan needs to clearly define the implementation time, frequency, specific content, and expected goals of each module (such as a 20% decrease in the mother's SDS score within 4 weeks and a 30% increase in the proportion of families actively communicating). It should also be discussed with the family and the details of the plan should be adjusted according to the family's actual situation (such as parents' work hours and children's schedules) to ensure feasibility.

[0029] Step 3: Intervention Implementation Phase (Weeks 4-12)

[0030] Implementation of the multi-faceted psychotherapy module: ACT therapy is conducted according to the plan, guiding mothers to describe their emotional experiences and helping them identify negative thoughts such as "I can't take care of my child," thereby guiding them to focus on the core value of "I want my child to feel loved," and developing specific action steps (such as recording one improvement of the child each day); in CBT therapy, to address the father's catastrophic thinking that "the child will never get better," cognitive reconstruction is carried out by listing the child's recent small improvements (such as actively looking at the child for 3 seconds); breathing-guided nerve relaxation training combined with a VR forest scene guides parents to use the 4-7-8 breathing method (inhale for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 7 seconds, exhale for 8 seconds), once each morning and evening;

[0031] Physiological synergistic rehabilitation module implementation: Under the guidance of professionals, the mother enters a microbaroagulant chamber with the chamber pressure set at 1.2-1.3 ATA. Each treatment lasts 60 minutes, 5 times a week. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is performed on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex at a high frequency of 10Hz for 20 minutes each time, 3 times a week. In biofeedback training, parents observe changes in electromyography (EMG) signals on a computer screen and learn to relax their frontal muscles. When the EMG value is lower than the set threshold, visual rewards (such as a flower blooming animation) are given. Each training session lasts 20 minutes, once a day.

[0032] Implementation of the family interaction model optimization module: Conduct family role-playing games once a week, such as simulating a child's initiative to communicate, and parents learn to use phrases like "You just said 'Mom' and Mom is very happy" or other positive response language; assign family collaborative tasks, such as planting a plant together, with parents taking turns watering and recording the growth; and hold a 5-minute family sharing session before bedtime every day, taking turns to express their feelings of the day and their gratitude to their family members.

[0033] Family support resource integration module utilization: Parents attend an online parent class once a week to learn "communication skills for children with autism"; participate in offline parent-child activity days every month to interact with other families and obtain on-site guidance from education experts on child behavior management;

[0034] Step 4: Effectiveness Evaluation and Dynamic Adjustment of the Plan (every 4 weeks)

[0035] The real-time assessment and dynamic adjustment module for intervention effects initiates the assessment process, comparing the changes in current parental psychological scale scores (such as SAS and SDS), the proportion of positive communication in family interaction videos, children's CARS scale scores, and behavioral observation records (such as the number of spontaneous words and the duration of social interaction) with baseline data.

[0036] If the mother's depression score does not decrease as expected (e.g., only a 10% decrease in 4 weeks), analyze possible reasons (e.g., insufficient frequency of psychotherapy, impact of family stressful events), adjust the treatment plan, add one more CBT individual therapy session, and provide the family with stress coping counseling through the family support resource module; if the child's social interaction improves significantly but language ability improves slowly, add language-guided games (e.g., word chain games, story chain games) to the family interaction training, and adjust the transcranial magnetic stimulation parameters for language-related brain regions in the physiological rehabilitation module;

[0037] Step 5: Consolidation and Follow-up Phase (Week 13 and beyond)

[0038] Gradually reduce the frequency of interventions, such as adjusting psychotherapy to once a week and physical rehabilitation training to three times a week, focusing on consolidating the positive interaction patterns already established in the family and parents' self-psychological adjustment abilities; develop a family self-help manual, including coping strategies for common psychological problems, guidelines for family interactive games, and physical relaxation techniques, for daily use by the family;

[0039] Establish a follow-up mechanism, conduct telephone follow-ups every two months, and face-to-face family assessments every six months to continuously monitor the family's psychological state and changes in children's symptoms, provide timely support and guidance, and prevent recurrence of problems.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0043] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of the method of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0044] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] Please see Figure 1-2This invention provides a family psychological intervention system for autism, including a dynamic monitoring module for family psychological state, a module for integrating multiple psychological therapy techniques, a module for physiological and synergistic rehabilitation intervention, a module for optimizing family interaction patterns, a module for generating personalized intervention plans, a module for real-time evaluation and dynamic adjustment of intervention effects, a module for integrating family support resources, and a module for observing and providing feedback on children's behavior.

[0046] The family psychological state dynamic monitoring module enables real-time and objective monitoring of parents' psychological state and family interaction patterns, providing a data foundation for subsequent intervention;

[0047] The integrated module of multiple psychotherapy techniques provides parents with personalized psychotherapy plans to alleviate anxiety, depression or other negative emotions;

[0048] The physiological-coordinated rehabilitation intervention module enhances the improvement of mental state by combining physiological intervention with psychotherapy.

[0049] The family interaction mode optimization module is used to improve communication and collaboration within the family and create a harmonious family psychological atmosphere.

[0050] The personalized intervention plan generation module provides customized intervention strategies for each family, improving the targeting and effectiveness of interventions;

[0051] The real-time evaluation and dynamic adjustment module for intervention effectiveness ensures that the intervention plan always adapts to the family's needs and improves the intervention effect;

[0052] The family support resource integration module is used to enhance the social support system for families to cope with autism and improve their confidence and ability to help their children recover.

[0053] The child behavior observation and feedback module monitors children's behavior in real time, providing direct data support at the child level for adjusting intervention plans.

[0054] The family psychological state dynamic monitoring module monitors the psychological state of family members in real time through multimodal data acquisition technology; it uses standardized psychological scales (such as the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS)) to conduct periodic psychological assessments of parents, and combines wearable devices (such as heart rate variability sensors and skin conductance sensors) to collect physiological indicators. It uses machine learning algorithms to build a psychological state model to identify anxiety, depression and their changing trends; at the same time, it records family interaction scenes through video analysis technology, extracts interaction features such as communication frequency, tone of voice and body language, and constructs a family interaction relationship map.

[0055] The multi-faceted psychotherapy technology integration module combines various evidence-based psychotherapy techniques to intervene in parents' psychological problems; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) guides parents to accept their own emotions, clarify core values, and enhance psychological resilience; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies and corrects negative cognitive patterns, such as excessive worry and catastrophic thinking; Breath-guided nerve relaxation technology regulates the autonomic nervous system through specific breathing frequencies, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, and relieves anxiety and tension; and Virtual Reality (VR) technology is combined to construct relaxation scenarios, enhance immersion, and improve relaxation effects.

[0056] The physiological synergistic rehabilitation intervention module is based on the theory of mind-body interaction. It improves the physiological state of family members and promotes psychological rehabilitation through physical therapy. The micro-barrier oxygen chamber improves brain oxygen supply by increasing blood oxygen partial pressure, regulates the function of the central nervous system, and alleviates neurophysiological abnormalities related to anxiety and depression. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses pulsed magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain (such as the prefrontal cortex) to regulate the secretion of neurotransmitters (such as serotonin and dopamine) and improve mood regulation. Biofeedback training collects physiological signals from electromyography and electroencephalography, enabling parents to learn to control physiological indicators and establish a self-regulation mechanism for relaxation.

[0057] Based on family systems theory, the family interaction optimization module analyzes the division of roles, communication patterns, and emotional transmission mechanisms in family interactions, identifying interaction links that lead to family tension. Through role-playing and scenario simulation techniques, it guides family members to learn effective communication skills (such as active listening and empathetic expression), reconstructing an equal and supportive interaction model. It also establishes a family task collaboration mechanism, designs parent-child interactive games and family goal setting activities, and enhances the emotional connection and cooperative awareness among family members.

[0058] The personalized intervention program generation module is based on data on family psychological status and interaction patterns obtained from the monitoring module, as well as the results of autism symptom assessments in children (such as the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) and the Autism Behavior Scale (ABC). It uses artificial intelligence technologies such as decision tree algorithms and neural network models to construct a personalized intervention program generation model. This model comprehensively considers individual differences among family members (such as age, educational background, and psychological resilience), family structure (nuclear family / single-parent family), and the severity of the child's symptoms, and automatically generates a personalized intervention program that includes a psychotherapy plan, a physical rehabilitation plan, family interaction training content, and a schedule.

[0059] The real-time evaluation and dynamic adjustment module for intervention effectiveness establishes a multi-dimensional effectiveness evaluation system, including indicators of improvement in parents' psychological state (such as changes in SAS and SDS scores), indicators of family interaction quality (such as interaction frequency and the proportion of positive communication), and indicators of symptom relief in children (such as language expression ability and improvement in social interaction). Through regular data collection and analysis, statistical methods (such as repeated measures ANOVA) are used to evaluate the intervention effectiveness. When the intervention effect is found to be less than expected or the family situation changes (such as the addition of new stressful events), the program adjustment mechanism is triggered, and the intervention program generation module re-optimizes the intervention program to achieve dynamic feedback adjustment.

[0060] The family support resource integration module integrates external support resources to build an online and offline support network. The online platform provides psychological education courses (such as autism knowledge dissemination and family care skills), expert consultation services, and a parent exchange community to promote experience sharing among families. Offline, it organizes parent workshops, parent-child activity days, and family therapy groups, inviting psychologists, education experts, and rehabilitation therapists to provide face-to-face guidance. It also establishes cooperation mechanisms with medical institutions, schools, and community service centers to achieve information sharing and referral services, providing comprehensive support for families.

[0061] The child behavior observation and feedback module uses cameras installed in the home environment (with privacy protection measures) to identify abnormal behaviors in children using computer vision technology (such as stereotyped movements and social avoidance behaviors), and combines this with speech recognition technology to analyze children's language expression. It also performs correlation analysis with changes in family psychological state and interaction patterns during the intervention process, providing direct evidence for assessing the improvement of children's symptoms and adjusting the intervention plan. At the same time, it provides feedback to parents on changes in children's behavior through a visual interface, enhancing parents' perception of the intervention effect.

[0062] An intervention method for a family-based psychological intervention system for autism includes the following steps:

[0063] Step 1: Household Baseline Data Collection and Assessment Phase (Weeks 1-2)

[0064] The family psychological state dynamic monitoring module was used to assess parents using the SAS and SDS psychological scales, and to collect 72 hours of physiological data by wearing wearable devices; three family interaction scenarios (30 minutes each) were recorded and the interaction patterns were analyzed.

[0065] The child behavior observation and feedback module uses the CARS and ABC scales to assess the symptoms of autism in children and record their daily behavior (such as language ability, social interaction, range of interests, etc.).

[0066] By integrating parental psychological data, family interaction data, and child symptom data, a family baseline profile is established to identify the types of parental psychological problems (such as anxiety-predominant or depression-predominant), major family interaction problems (such as communication breakdowns or excessive critical language), and core child symptoms (such as language deficits or social avoidance).

[0067] Step 2: Personalized Intervention Plan Development Phase (Week 3)

[0068] The personalized intervention plan generation module generates an initial intervention plan based on baseline data, prioritizing parents with severe anxiety / depression and considering family interaction patterns. For example, if the mother has a high depression score and the father has low participation in family interactions, the plan includes an ACT+CBT psychotherapy combination for the mother, twice a week; family interaction training involving both parents (such as parent-child collaborative drawing tasks), three times a week; and for physical rehabilitation, the mother receives 30 minutes of microhyperbaric oxygen therapy daily, and both parents participate in breathing-guided nerve relaxation training twice a day for 15 minutes each time.

[0069] The plan needs to clearly define the implementation time, frequency, specific content, and expected goals of each module (such as a 20% decrease in the mother's SDS score within 4 weeks and a 30% increase in the proportion of families actively communicating). It should also be discussed with the family and the details of the plan should be adjusted according to the family's actual situation (such as parents' work hours and children's schedules) to ensure feasibility.

[0070] Step 3: Intervention Implementation Phase (Weeks 4-12)

[0071] Implementation of the multi-faceted psychotherapy module: ACT therapy is conducted according to the plan, guiding mothers to describe their emotional experiences and helping them identify negative thoughts such as "I can't take care of my child," thereby guiding them to focus on the core value of "I want my child to feel loved," and developing specific action steps (such as recording one improvement of the child each day); in CBT therapy, to address the father's catastrophic thinking that "the child will never get better," cognitive reconstruction is carried out by listing the child's recent small improvements (such as actively looking at the child for 3 seconds); breathing-guided nerve relaxation training combined with a VR forest scene guides parents to use the 4-7-8 breathing method (inhale for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 7 seconds, exhale for 8 seconds), once each morning and evening;

[0072] Physiological synergistic rehabilitation module implementation: Under the guidance of professionals, the mother enters a microbaroagulant chamber with the chamber pressure set at 1.2-1.3 ATA, each treatment lasting 60 minutes, 5 times a week; transcranial magnetic stimulation is performed on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex at a high frequency of 10Hz, each session lasting 20 minutes, 3 times a week; in biofeedback training, parents observe changes in electromyography (EMG) signals on a computer screen, learn to relax their frontal muscles, and receive visual rewards (such as a flower blooming animation) when the EMG value falls below a set threshold, each training session lasting 20 minutes, once a day.

[0073] Implementation of the family interaction model optimization module: Conduct family role-playing games once a week, such as simulating a child's initiative to communicate, and parents learn to use phrases like "You just said 'Mom' and Mom is very happy" or other positive response language; assign family collaborative tasks, such as planting a plant together, with parents taking turns watering and recording the growth; and hold a 5-minute family sharing session before bedtime every day, taking turns to express their feelings of the day and their gratitude to their family members.

[0074] Family support resource integration module utilization: Parents attend an online parent class once a week to learn "communication skills for children with autism"; participate in offline parent-child activity days every month to interact with other families and obtain on-site guidance from education experts on child behavior management;

[0075] Step 4: Effectiveness Evaluation and Dynamic Adjustment of the Plan (every 4 weeks)

[0076] The real-time assessment and dynamic adjustment module for intervention effects initiates the assessment process, comparing the changes in current parental psychological scale scores (such as SAS and SDS), the proportion of positive communication in family interaction videos, children's CARS scale scores, and behavioral observation records (such as the number of spontaneous words and the duration of social interaction) with baseline data.

[0077] If the mother's depression score does not decrease as expected (e.g., only a 10% decrease in 4 weeks), analyze possible reasons (e.g., insufficient frequency of psychotherapy, impact of family stressful events), adjust the treatment plan, add one more CBT individual therapy session, and provide the family with stress coping counseling through the family support resource module; if the child's social interaction improves significantly but language ability improves slowly, add language-guided games (e.g., word chain games, story chain games) to the family interaction training, and adjust the transcranial magnetic stimulation parameters for language-related brain regions in the physiological rehabilitation module;

[0078] Step 5: Consolidation and Follow-up Phase (Week 13 and beyond)

[0079] Gradually reduce the frequency of interventions, such as adjusting psychotherapy to once a week and physical rehabilitation training to three times a week, focusing on consolidating the positive interaction patterns already established in the family and parents' self-psychological adjustment abilities; develop a family self-help manual, including coping strategies for common psychological problems, guidelines for family interactive games, and physical relaxation techniques, for daily use by the family;

[0080] Establish a follow-up mechanism, conduct telephone follow-ups every two months, and face-to-face family assessments every six months to continuously monitor the family's psychological state and changes in children's symptoms, provide timely support and guidance, and prevent recurrence of problems.

[0081] Example:

[0082] Based on the above intervention methods and steps, the following points should be noted during implementation:

[0083] Privacy protection: Sensitive information such as family videos and physiological data are encrypted during the data collection process to ensure compliance with the relevant provisions of the Personal Information Protection Law.

[0084] Professional training: Psychotherapists and rehabilitation therapists involved in the intervention must possess relevant professional qualifications in autism intervention and family therapy, and receive regular technical training to ensure standardized intervention procedures.

[0085] Increased family participation: Enhance family adherence to the intervention program through incentive mechanisms (such as rewards for completing intervention tasks and parent-child activities) and regular communication and feedback.

[0086] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

Offline, it organizes parent workshops, parent-child activity days, and family therapy groups, inviting psychologists, education experts, and rehabilitation therapists to provide face-to-face guidance. It also establishes cooperation mechanisms with medical institutions, schools, and community service centers to achieve information sharing and referral services, providing comprehensive support for families.

9. The autism family psychological intervention system according to claim 1, characterized in that: The child behavior observation and feedback module uses cameras installed in the home environment to identify abnormal behaviors of children using computer vision technology and analyzes children's language expression using speech recognition technology. It correlates the observed behavioral data with changes in family psychological state and interaction patterns during the intervention process, providing direct evidence for assessing the improvement of children's symptoms and adjusting the intervention plan. At the same time, it provides feedback to parents on changes in children's behavior through a visual interface, enhancing parents' perception of the intervention effect.

10. An intervention method for a family-based psychological intervention system for autism according to any one of claims 1-9, characterized in that: Includes the following steps: Step 1: Household Baseline Data Collection and Assessment Phase The family psychological state dynamic monitoring module was used to assess parents using the SAS and SDS psychological scales, and to collect 72 hours of physiological data by wearing wearable devices; three family interaction scenarios were recorded and the interaction patterns were analyzed. The child behavior observation and feedback module uses the CARS and ABC scales to assess the symptoms of autism in children and record their daily behavior. By integrating parental psychological data, family interaction data, and child symptom data, a family baseline profile is established to identify the types of parental psychological problems, the main problems in family interaction, and the core symptoms of children. Step 2: Personalized Intervention Plan Development Stage The personalized intervention plan generation module generates an initial intervention plan based on baseline data, prioritizing parents with severe anxiety / depression and taking into account family interaction patterns. The plan needs to clearly define the implementation time, frequency, specific content, and expected goals of each module, and be discussed with the family to adjust the details of the plan according to the family's actual situation to ensure feasibility; Step 3: Intervention Implementation Phase (Weeks 4-12) Implementation of the multi-faceted psychotherapy module: ACT therapy was conducted according to the plan, guiding mothers to describe their emotional experiences and helping them identify negative thoughts such as "I can't take care of my child," thereby guiding them to focus on the core value of "I want my child to feel loved" and developing specific action steps; in CBT therapy, cognitive reconstruction was carried out by listing recent small improvements in the child to address the father's catastrophic thinking that "the child will never get better"; breathing-guided nerve relaxation training combined with a VR forest scene guided parents to use the 4-7-8 breathing method, once in the morning and once in the evening. Physiological synergistic rehabilitation module implementation: Under the guidance of professionals, the mother enters a microbaroacid chamber with the chamber pressure set at 1.2-1.3 ATA, each treatment lasting 60 minutes, 5 times a week; transcranial magnetic stimulation is performed on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex at a high frequency of 10Hz, each session lasting 20 minutes, 3 times a week; in biofeedback training, parents observe changes in electromyography (EMG) signals on a computer screen, learn to relax their frontal muscles, and receive visual rewards when the EMG value falls below a set threshold, each training session lasting 20 minutes, once a day. Implementation of the family interaction mode optimization module; conducting family role-playing games once a week; Assign family collaborative tasks and hold a 5-minute family sharing session before bed each day, where each family member takes turns expressing their feelings about the day and their gratitude to their family members. Family support resource integration module utilization: Parents attend an online parent class once a week to learn "communication skills for children with autism"; participate in offline parent-child activity days every month to interact with other families and obtain on-site guidance from education experts on child behavior management; Step 4: Effectiveness Evaluation and Dynamic Adjustment of the Plan The real-time assessment and dynamic adjustment module for intervention effects initiates the assessment process, comparing the current parent psychological scale scores, the proportion of positive communication in family interaction videos, the child's CARS scale scores, and changes in behavioral observation records with baseline data. If the mother's depression score decline is not as expected, analyze the possible reasons, adjust the treatment plan, add one more CBT individual treatment session, and at the same time, connect the family with stress coping counseling through the family support resource module. If a child's social interaction improves significantly but their language skills improve slowly, language-guided games should be added to family interaction training, and the transcranial magnetic stimulation parameters for language-related brain regions in the physiological rehabilitation module should be adjusted. Step 5: Consolidation and Follow-up Phase Gradually reduce the frequency of interventions, such as adjusting psychotherapy to once a week and physical rehabilitation training to three times a week, focusing on consolidating the positive interaction patterns already established in the family and parents' self-psychological adjustment abilities; develop a family self-help manual, including coping strategies for common psychological problems, guidelines for family interactive games, and physical relaxation techniques, for daily use by the family; Establish a follow-up mechanism, conduct telephone follow-ups every two months, and face-to-face family assessments every six months to continuously monitor the family's psychological state and changes in children's symptoms, provide timely support and guidance, and prevent recurrence of problems.
