Autism The ABC's of Autism

OK, I know that this is just a fun video, but there are some great things going on there. First thing is the referencing that takes place at 26 secs into vid. it is short, but he looks over at his sisters jumping. He is preparing himself to get ready to get in synch with her. The second great bit is how he and his sister change up the tempo of the letters starting with the letter 'J'. Thats a great job of regulating and coordinating. The last really nice thing is when he looks over at his sister at the end to see if she is also laughing at his silliness. thats great emotion sharing. These are just some great skills being shown in this vid but overall it is just how complicated that a simple game two kids are playing really is. Jake had to be taught those skills manually, they werent developing on their own. RDI was what i used to teach him those skills and get him to the point where he could enjoy play like this. THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!

Yes, the right choice!!!

My son doesn't really jump on the sofa, my bed yes. He does however take a 2 meter run and jump at it landing upside down on his head!! I wouldn't dream of stopping him. Sometimes he says "you sign upside down" to which I am to reply "you sign crazy ..."! I see some words in the tags I don't like but I already like you from the two vids so I will continue.....

the words in my tags are only there to lead people to my videos...not really a reflection of my beliefs or opinions. :)

DTT = discrete trial training

NLP = natural language paradigm

PRT = pivotal response training

RDI = relationship development intervention

This is so cute I remember my son used to play with his sister this way However, now he cant relate to her He is thirteen and she is 16 She is the one with autism

Let's explain how ABA is science (makes sense considering my handle) by relating how ABA has studied Floortime.

Ingersoll, B., Dvortcsak, A., Whalen, C. & Sikora, D. (2005). The effects of a Developmental, Social-Pragmatic Language Intervention on Rate of Expressive Language Production in Young Children with Autisic Spectrum Disorders. Focus on Autism & other DD, 20(4), 213-222.

ABA - I believe schools should be teaching all students based on science - after all, neurodiversity is about more than just disabilities. Everyone is different in their own way - I'm not talking about DTT, something more like DI or PSI. Give the teachers a little freedom and let them do their jobs - teach - without know-nothing curriculum admins telling them what and how to teach it.

Foxx, R.M. (1996) Twenty Years of Applied Behavior Analysis in Treating the Most Severe Problem Behavior: Lessons Learned. The Behavior Analyst, Vol. 19(2), 225-235.

JRC should have read this article first. So don't think behaviorism means barbaric or work at a table.

[ABAisSCIENCE]

Schools don't do things based on science, but for those with disabilities it makes sense to teach based on science. I'm not saying rush out and start discrete trial training, but understanding the principles of learning makes sense.

ABAisScience - interesting, given that public schools are doing away with Direct Instruction as an effective teaching methodology. One excellent thing about IEPs is my little one will never be subject to the mess that is constructivism.
