Methods used to teach children with autism
from: Lily WoodsThere are many methods tried and tested on children with autism. It can easily be learned by parents and applied on their child for training and teaching at home. At the end of the day, as parents, you hope that your autistic child learn to live independently as an adult.
One of the many methods is Applied Behavioral Analysis which also known as Intensive Behavioral Intervention. Both these terms in simple words means intense program of study for a person, in this case your autistic child. Studies have found out that this method makes dramatic progress to autistic children receiving this program.
One of the many techniques used in ABA program is Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT). This technique develops cognitive, behavioral, fine motor, self help and social skills. The basic teaching involves breaking down skills into smaller sub-skills and repeated practices to ensure the child’s success.
The third method being discussed here is the working with and in Natural Environment. This method is also one of the many valuable methods incorporated into many ABA programs today. As the child develops, more advanced methods are added to improve Verbal and Social skills deficits as well.
The common theme through most of the different methodologies used under the umbrella term of "ABA" is the use of Behavior based learning. A simple way of understanding this is that we, as humans, learn to behave based upon the demands placed upon us by our environment. For most people, this occurs unconsciously without us being aware of it. For a child or person with Autism, learning occurs only when demands are carefully structured, repeated often and rewarded when the desired behavior is produced.
Having an Autistic child is a hard job. Having ways to cope will make your job easier. It will also make things better for your child by having you calm and stress free parenting. Find out more from
