Recommended: Conclusion on autism interventions

Since the early 1960s, autistic children have been the subject when it comes to studies for applied behavior analytic (ABA) treatment (Smith & Antolovich, 2000). Autistic children who participate in ABA treatment also receive numerous types of programs (Smith & Antolovich, 2000). For instance, children take part in speech, sensorimotor integration, play therapy and etc (Smith & Antolovich, 2000). These interventions may complement behavior analytic treatment by enhancing children's skills or reducing maladaptive behaviors that hinder children's progress, such as aggression or stereotypes (Smith & Antolovich, 2000). The researchers try to limit the use of this treatment that by turning their limited resources into interventions that can be harmful or not very effective (Smith & Antolovich, 2000). …show more content…

Surveys have suggested that families may evaluate alternative medicine interventions such as megavitamins more favorably than standard psychotropic medicine but it is unclear whether this finding would be replicable in a more comprehensive investigation (Smith & Antolovich, 2000). A peer-reviewed survey indicated that parents gave positive ratings to one sensorimotor therapy, Auditory Integration Training (AIT), is intended to reduce hypersensitivity to autistic children’s sounds (Smith & Antolovich, 2000). The discussion question is how do the parents feel about putting their children in these high risk intervention

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a brain-based developmental disorder that involves multiple abnormal perceptual, cognitive, linguistic and social behaviors. With rates of Autism Spectrum Disorder rising, it is important that we improve our understanding of the causes of the disorder and become more culturally aware and sensitive to screening for the disorder in order to find effective interventions. Understanding of the current clinical picture, etiology and treatment of ASD will be discussed. Autism was a label coined in the early 20th century from the Greek word autos meaning “self” as it was used to refer to individuals who would “withdrawal from the fabric of social life into the self” (Hallahan, Kauffman, Pullen, 2015, pp.210).

The article, “Faces of Autism”, by Pamela Hudson Baker, Mary Murray, and other colleagues is informative and insightful because the authors give detailed stories about the two children who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Both of these children have varying behaviors and personality characteristics, and the authors indulge readers with helpful strategies that can be implemented in a classroom setting to ensure teachers can better accommodate the student with the similar commonalities. At this point in time in education, teachers need to know how to effectively implement new strategies such as like the strategies mentioned in this article because there is currently such a rapid growth in individuals who are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.

As our book states, in the 1970s, the children that resided in orphanages had to live in extremely depraved conditions due to lack of funding. They had no interaction with adults, other children, or even the outside world. They almost never left their cots which they slept on. These cots were also surrounded by sheets so they never were able to see other humans or the outside. The children in these orphanages that were never adopted never recovered from the years of deprivation and therefore, developed permanent cognitive defects (Cacioppo & Freberg, 2013).

Laziness is a trait that the human race possess by nature. That being said, people are most likely to search for the most economical ways to move about or do things (Oaklander, 2015). Similarly, when it comes to making judgments, human beings tend to look for the easiest and shortest ways possible. Such aspect of the human race is considerably heuristic, which can generally be defined as a cognitive rule of thumb that helps an individual to solve problems or make decisions in a quick and easy manner. According to Schneider, Gruman, and Coutts, it is common and automatic for people to use cognitive shortcuts when making judgments, in the processing of new information (2012).

The story “Of Mice and Men” can be demonstrated as both positive, and negative depends on which perspective you are looking at. There are many fascinating points or events that take place. For instance in chapter 6, we see a side of George that many might say was surprising considering no one knew or expected him to kill his best friend, his partner in crime, the man that he said “I will protect Lennie”. Nobody really realized that he could or would commit such a harsh crime, but as you turn and look at why he did it. You might then soon be getting a different approach and meaning to things especially since he could have killed him because the thought of letting somebody else kill the only person who was down for him, was

“In diversity there is beauty and there is strength.” A powerful quote once spoken by Maya Angelou in the hope of educating others on the value of human diversity, so why does society work to modify the behavior of autistic individuals? Instead of accepting and accommodating the different behaviors of autistic children, parents choose to send their children to Applied Behavior Analysis Therapy or ABA Therapy, a choice many autistic adults have voiced their painful experiences with. ABA Therapy is harmful to autistic children because it focuses on elimination rather than consideration, diminishment of internal constructs in favor of adjustment, and ignores the autistic brain as a whole. Autism causes people to act and behave differently than

10. Inclusion By observing what their peers do, autistic children are able to learn appropriate behaviors from them. If students are to learn to socialize, they will be required to be present where their peers are and listen to and learn how they socialize. If students will require specialized support for academic success, teachers will need to assess the learners’ functioning in the inclusive classroom to know the types of support needed (Kluth, 2010).
