Abstract

The present work constitutes a bibliographic review on dog-assisted intervention in school-age children with autism spectrum disorder. The objectives of the research are to know the goals of dog-assisted interventions in children with autism spectrum disorder, the results obtained and how and where they are carried out. To this end, a literature review has been carried out based on research articles published since 2000 in the Web of Science (Wos), Scopus, PubMed and CINAHL databases. The results obtained have confirmed the benefits of dog-assisted interventions in children with autism spectrum disorder, improving skills and social interactions, leading to increased communication, minimizing negative social behaviors and increasing positive ones, generating confidence and self-esteem in children with autism spectrum disorder improve relationships and family recreation time. Finally, this work exposes the observed limitations of the reviewed studies and proposes a series of questions for future research or lines of work that it would be convenient to explore.
