A scientific and practical seminar titled "Integrative Model Used in Correcting Autism Problems" was organized by the Department of Psychology at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Psychology of Baku State University (BSU).

The seminar brought together the head of the Department of Psychology, Dr. Sekhavet Aliyeva, faculty members, clinical psychologist Aida Nabiyeva, and students of the department.

In her opening remarks, Dr. Aliyeva emphasized that autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder that typically manifests before the age of three, significantly affecting social interaction, communication skills, and behavior. She underlined the importance of early diagnosis and intervention, which play a key role in improving the social adaptation and developmental outcomes of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Clinical psychologist Aida Nabiyeva delivered an in-depth presentation on integrative approaches, observation criteria, and effective methods used in working with children diagnosed with ASD. Using slides and methodological resources, she demonstrated scientifically grounded and sensitive strategies for engaging with children on the autism spectrum.

The seminar also featured a practical component, including psychological assessments and real-time observation of a child with autism. Additionally, psychology students actively participated in hands-on exercises, reinforcing the application of theoretical knowledge in real-world settings.
