Resumo

Introdução, O Transtorno do Espectro do Autismo carece de um tratamento definitivo, embora as Actividades Assistidas por Animais, especialmente com cavalos, se destaquem como uma alternativa para os seus sintomas. Objectivo, Rever a investigação em relação à Terapia Assistida Equina e a sua eficácia no trabalho com crianças com DEA. Análise, Revimos a literatura anterior entre 2012 e 2020 em várias bases de dados (MEDLINE, psycINFO, PsycArticles, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Psicodoc e ERIC), estabelecendo como critérios de pesquisa e análise que as publicações foram referenciadas, tinham o texto completo para posterior leitura e codificação, e tinham sido publicadas a partir de 2012. Tendo em conta todas as anteriores, 16 intervenções realizadas entre 2012 e 2019 foram finalmente incluídas. Resultados, A partir dos artigos obtidos e revistos, constata-se que predomina a equitação terapêutica e que são observadas melhorias significativas nas crianças participantes em aspectos como a hiperactividade, a irritabilidade, as capacidades motoras (melhorar o desempenho de tarefas de forma autónoma) e mesmo certos aspectos sociais. Conclusões, apesar dos benefícios observados, é também claro que é difícil tirar conclusões e sistematizar os resultados, devido à grande variabilidade dos instrumentos e das medidas utilizadas nos vários estudos. Recomendações, Embora a equitação terapêutica pareça benéfica para trabalhar com crianças com ASD, são necessárias mais revisões e especialmente metanálises para conhecer o seu verdadeiro efeito.
