Abstract
Purpose: to evaluate the efficacy of the speech and language therapy for Autistic Spectrum Disorders.
Methods: the sample was composed of 11 children. These children were randomly divided into two groups: Six were receiving both direct and indirect intervention (TG group), and five were receiving exclusively indirect intervention (OG Group). We used the following parts of ASIEP-2: Autism Behavior Checklist, Interaction Assessment and Sample of Vocal Behavior on three occasions: at the beginning, six months later and 12 months later.
Results: we observed there was greater evolution of Therapy Group-TG in the Autism Behavior Checklist, Interaction Assessment and Sample of Vocal Behavior. The mothers and the Speech Language Pathologist perceived behavioral changes.
Conclusions: the tendency of better performance of the children attended in direct and indirect intervention showed that this association was fundamental.

Métodos: a amostra foi composta por 11 crianças. Essas crianças foram divididas aleatoriamente em dois grupos: Seis estavam recebendo intervenção direta e indireta (GT) e cinco apenas atendimento exclusivamente indireto (GO). Foram utilizadas as seguintes partes do teste ASIEP-2: Autism Behavior Checklist, Avaliação de Interação e Amostra do Comportamento Vocal em três ocasiões: no início, seis meses depois, e após 12 meses.
Resultados: observou-se maior evolução do GT no Autism Behavior Checklist, Avaliação Interação e na Amostra de comportamento vocal. Tanto as mães quanto a fonoaudióloga perceberam mudanças comportamentais.
Conclusões: a tendência de melhor desempenho das crianças atendidas na intervenção direta e indireta mostrou que esta associação foi fundamental.
