Abstract

Aim

To improve the oral health of children and teenagers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using an iPad^®-based training programme.

Methods

Fifty-two children and teenagers with ASD (aged 3–19 years) educated in schools or in care centres participated in this cohort study and followed for 8 months. A training programme for teaching toothbrushing behaviours was proposed to the educational staff. Quotation grids enabled assessment of the programme’s efficacy.

Results

Showed an improvement in toothbrushing. The children’s autonomy increased and oral care was more easily implemented when steps were taken by the caregivers. Wilcoxon analysis showed significant improvement in each variable related to toothbrushing.

Conclusions

The iPad^® is an attractive and easy device for people with ASD to use. Its use in a training programme for teaching toothbrushing behaviours was efficient.
