𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔?

Frequently, parents and careers have to deal with disruptive and challenging behaviours. They are keen on adressing everything at once but it is important to set priorities and often look at pivotal behaviours that will boost other learning areas for the child.

We wanted to share this extract from the manual Applied Behaviour Analysis, Chapter 3. Cooper, J. et al."𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘋𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘉𝘦𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴."

"Target behaviours should not be selected for the primary benefit of others (e.g. "Be still, be quiet...") or because they pique the interest of someone in a position to change behaviours...
..He wanted to teach cursive writing to a ... child (who) could not read (except his name), print or even reliably identify all the letters of the alphabet. I asked "Who decided that was the problem to work on next?" (Hawkins, 1975, p.195)

A central question must always be "𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏´𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆?"

It is always important to keep this in mind when looking at what do we want from an intervention on the child, he should always be the priority before our desires.

Whising you a great weekend 😉

Looking for a useful read on autism but don´t where to start? I have recently been recommended "𝙋𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙢" by two great professionals on the ABA field, they host the podcast 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗕𝗔 𝗢𝘄𝗹𝘀. 📚 As they remark, 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯; it seems easy through this short and approachable book.

Parental implication is crucial in autism intervention, and they are always more capable than what they believe. I always encourage them to get involved and learn, to empower themselves through knowledge and create a meaningful relationship with their children.

Si notas que tu hij@ tiene dificultades de aprendizaje, es recomendable realizar una 𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐨́𝐧 𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐠𝐨́𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚. Ésta permite el análisis de los procesos cognitivos que tu hij@ pone en marcha durante tareas estudio y aprendizaje, como 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐬 𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬👀, de 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚🧠 o 𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬📖 entre otros. De esta manera es posible detectar áreas de bajo rendimiento y crear un plan de intervención y técnicas de estudio adecuados.

Super useful tips to show children to colour but specially, to enjoy it while getting better at it!

Coloring is another important school-related fine motor skill for children to learn. While some students may be very motivated to color independently, other students may need more support to engage successfully. Today on the blog find Katie's five tips to supports your students as they learn to color!

Learning to communicate is always central in any intervention and it is very common for parents to encourage their children to say "𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒" and "𝑡𝘩𝑎𝑛𝑘 𝑦𝑜𝑢" when asking and receiving items when they start communicating through signs or vocally. However, it is very important to remember that these words fullfil a social function, hard for our learners to understand in early stages. This will only make the use of language more complicated for them.

✅The most important thing is to make communication motivating for our children, time will come when they will be ready for the next step 😊✅

Hello everynone!
Today we want to talk about 🗣𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 in Autism.
What is your child´s communication stage? Let´s briefly describe the four stages in communication within ASD.

𝑶𝒘𝒏 𝑨𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒂 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒆:
This is the stage many children are at when first diagnosed with ASD.
-There are no signs of interest in others.
-Child plays on his own.
-There is no intentional communication.

𝑹𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒆:
-Your child is just beginning to realise that their actions can
have an effect on you, by pulling or leading you to ask you for
things they need or enjoy.
- Interest on playing physical People Games like Tickles and Peek-a- boo emerges with requests to continue interaction through eye contact or body language (like pulling your hand).

𝑬𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒚 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒆:
- At this stage your child has started to use specific gestures, sounds, pictures or words to ask for things that they really want (favourite toys or food).
- Joint attention is emerging, sharing their interest with you by looking at something and then looking back to you, or pointing to something he wants to show you.

𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒆:
- Your child is more effective communicating.
- Able to request, protest, greet, draw your attention to something or ask and answer simple questions.

If you want to know more, we recommend the book📖 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔, by Fern Sussman. You can find it in Amazon or we can also share an extract on PDF with you, just message us.

Today I came across with this chapter of a book. And I found it very interesting because I have been several times in situations like this. In children with autism, there are lots of modelling to show them how to play with toys and games, and this is important. However, if we want to engage with our children, it´s as important to follow their lead, and this will frequently consist on engaging with toys in totally uncommon ways. It is important to know when to give up, stop trying to make them insterested in something they are not, and instead, join in their insterests to achieve something more important, 𝒔𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏👨‍👧

If you wish to have a copy of this chapter, please just email us or send us a message, we will send you a copy of the PDF documents.

Happy Saturday 😊
