Aba Mini Manual Naming And Requesting

The exercises in this ABA Mini-Manual eBook stress extensions (generalization) for use of terms and conditions for requesting; multiple modalities are employed. Exercises in this manual include, "naming and tracking", "naming using multiple presentation forms", "sequential naming", "naming to requesting", "requesting to naming", "self-paced naming" and many more. The novel approaches employed will inform your teaching practice and provide insights that can be applied across other domains.

Beyond the basics covered in Level One (matching, imitation, requesting early expressive and receptive language, joint attention), the concepts and linguistic abilities addressed in Level Two are decidedly more challenging for many autistic children. Concepts under consideration in Level Two include, ‘same and different’, ‘parts and whole’, ‘prepositions’, ‘pronouns’, ‘negation’, ‘who, what, where distinctions', 'singular-plural', 'actions and tenses' as well as others. Early acquisition of these concepts requires highly specific teaching arrangements. This manual lays out, in meticulous detail, ways we have found helpful for children to acquire these concepts and begin to generalize them. These exercises establish the foundations necessary for eventual integration of these concepts and abilities into everyday linguistic practice. These exercises illuminate, as in in Level One, the interdependence of abilities and the inherent complexity of teaching language and the considerations for what it takes to acquire these concepts at rudimentary levels.

The exercises in the ABA Mini-Manuals cover a broad array of language domains and illuminate the relatedness between them. This collection of exercises is intended to serve as a starting point for teaching language to autistic children who struggle to do so. The approach is systematic, integrative and constructional. There is sufficient procedural detail and explanation of purpose so it is clear to anyone engaged in this particular teaching approach how to proceed. This should be of value to anyone and may be of particular value to BCBAs needing to provide detailed procedures and purpose when supervising and writing goals to satisfy the stringencies of insurance companies. Users of this series may appreciate how targeted abilities are extended and integrated in fine grained, detailed steps leading to generalization and more complex abilities. The collection provides a valuable resource for BCBAs, family members or other professionals looking for ideas when writing goals, seeking help when thinking about how to build programs or if searching for guidance when confronting the intricacies, and complexities of building language based programming in the early stages of learning and intervention.

Imitating what others do is a fundamental way children learn. For many autistic children, this mode of learning does not come easily. Thus, learning to imitate may take considerable time, practice and precise behavioral shaping. This mini-manual includes many standard exercises. Also included are more complex imitation exercises which involve time delay, observational learning and extended sequences of imitative responding and serve to generalize imitation abilities.

Get off to a good start with these early programs. They set the stage for later programming and include; following one and two-step instructions, one and two step object identification, person identification, responding to name, following the instruction "come here", and more. Also included is a critically important program, 'Say vs. Do'. This program teaches children to respond to the conditional discrimination "say". This ability allows for teaching children, for example, to use pronouns, to give instructions, to ask questions by eliminating echoic interference. As in all the books in this series, exquisitely detailed procedures for instruction are provided as are abundant suggestions for generalization.

The handbook examines the latest advancements in applied behavior analysis (ABA) as the preferred method of treatment for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It synthesizes the most current research data and trends with best-practice interventions to form a comprehensive, state-of-the-art resource. The handbook reviews ABA research and practices in depth and identifies the interventions most relevant to children across the autism spectrum. Key areas of coverage include: Foundations of applied behavior analysis. ABA treatments for disorders comorbid with autism spectrum disorder. Functional assessment for children with autism. Operational definitions as well as observing and recording data for children with autism. The relationship of measures of psychopathology and applied behavior analysis. Transitioning across tasks for children with autism, including toe walking, feeding problems, and self-help issues. Anxiety, depression, and ADHD in children with autism. The Handbook of Applied Behavior Analysis for Children with Autism is an essential reference for researchers, clinicians and graduate students as well as clinicians, therapists, and other practitioners across such interrelated disciplines as clinical child, school, and developmental psychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, social work, rehabilitation medicine/therapy, pediatrics, and special education.

Autism was once thought of as a rare condition, until the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network released the statistic that about 1 in every 150 eight-year-old children in various areas across the United States is afflicted by an autism spectrum disorder, or ASD. This news led to a dramatic expansion of research into autism spectrum disorders and to the emergence of applied behavior analysis (ABA) as the preferred method of treatment, even among prescribing practitioners. Applied Behavioral Analysis for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders ably synthesizes research data and trends with best-practice interventions into a comprehensive, state-of-the-art resource. Within its chapters, leading experts review current ABA literature in depth; identify interventions most relevant to children across the autism spectrum; and discuss potential developments in these core areas: Assessment methods, from functional assessment to single case research designs. Treatment methods, including reinforcement, replacement behaviors, and other effective strategies. The role of the differential diagnosis in ABA treatment planning. Specific deficit areas: communication, social skills, stereotypies/rituals. Target behaviors, such as self-injury, aggression, adaptive and self-help problems. ASD-related training concerns, including maintenance and transition issues, and parent training programs. This volume is a vital resource for researchers, graduate students, and professionals in clinical child and school psychology as well as the related fields of education and mental health.
