Applied behavior analysis,III. Discussion,IV. Some supportsCurrent LectureI. alternative and augmentative communication (AAC)a. Mild, moderate, and severe autism spectrum. Asperger's is no longer diagnosed. b. Unaided-- rely on the person's body to convey messages (sign language)c. Aided --require the use of tools in addition. (dynavox, paper and pencil, PECS system- picture exchange communication system)II. Applied behavior analysisa. ABA therapy-- behavior principles to certain settings to reinforce behaviors. Reinforcement can predict a behavior occurring again. Punishment can help correct a behavior, decrease the frequency of a behavior.b. This happens all the time, but is popular for children with autism b/c it can be used in a very systematic and intense way that leads to improvements. The goal is to fade out reinforcements so that individuals can function in settings like their typical peers. c. ABA is very expensive, and schools don’t want to pay for it, to bring in a behavioral specialist.Using praise though, that is very cheap and we can implement some of these principles. ABA is generally used for severe cases (violent cases, etc.)III. Discussion:a. Why do you think children with Autism and communication disorders engage in challenging behavior like Tait? (work outbursts, violence) --he understands himself but may have troubleexpressing himself and what he needs. Don’t underestimate the power of giving a child communication. b. From what we learned about Tait, what kind of placement do you think would be best for him? --find the balance between gen. ed and sped. c. How could you include Tait in the general education classroom? (while decreasing his outburst behaviors) --giving him one-on-one time, using a visual system of rewards.IV. Some supports:a. Visual timers (time timer)b. First/Then schedule (fist you do 10 problems of math, then you get 5 minutes on the iPad)c. Token economy-- you can apply these to so many things. 5 tokens is a good place to startThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.d. Be informed about autism!! There is a lot of false information available that is not
