When looking at reviews on interventions used with children with asd it appears not all are effective there are features of some that are more effective than others. There has been a great level of importance placed on the key features that promote the effectiveness and that start the intervention process as early as possible that most children benefit from over 15 hours per week of intervention, the more the better. Including interventions were parents and carers can be involved. Interventions that seem to show the most affect are behavioural approaches and those that address the issues of social communication. There is no intervention that will reduce symptoms of autism, there are ones that focus on improving life skills and other abilities …show more content…

Furthermore, the results and effectiveness of an intervention is likely to rely very much on the training and competence of the staff, their ability to stick with the exact ‘rules’ of the intervention without drifting, and the definition of success. The first intervention i have looked into is social story something I have come across briefly in work, an example of a social story i have used is i had a storyboard about the weather. My student is anxious about rain, when it rains she will scream and shout and run off. I created based on this. There was six points. When it rains i feel scared. When i feel scared i get frustrated and i shout and run away. When i feel frustrated i need to stop and start my deep breaths. I will give myself a cuddle and calm down. When i am calm i can focus on getting inside. Social stories are all about helping young people with an ASD to produce the appropriate responses to situations or reactions so that they can cope better without causing disruption. For example the young girl i work with if she is in lesson and see’s rain she will run through the asd centre and distrust other learners. There is also …show more content…

Social stories were a creation of an academic called Carol Gray, first published in her paper, Social stories: Improving responses of students with autism with accurate social information (1993). They are great tools that can help children with ASD to learn about the appropriate responses and reactions to situations,and they can also be adapted to each child and help children learn about the mental states of other people, including causes, and behaviours that other people may show when in specific mental states. Another intervention i have seen at work is the incredible five point scale, this intervention is used on a young lad i work with at college and our scale is very similar to the example used in the book, on a visual manner, he has a scale in front of him and when he can often sing and get louder and louder and so on his scale we added in singing too loud singing outdoors and indoor singing so with his talking and singing were able to visually show him by running our finger from too loud to

Occupational therapy can help a person with Asperger’s thrive physically, emotionally, and socially. As previously stated, if these symptoms were to be left alone, these children and adults would be subjected to bullying, ridiculed, and social isolation due to them being naïve and having concrete views of the world resulting in being vulnerable. Through occupational therapy intervention, this cycle can be interrupted by helping the patient adjust their sensory system. This means, “gaining the physical abilities needed to succeed, acquire valuable social, prevocational, and play skills, and improve their overall ability to function.” Through this intervention, one can not only learn to succeed in the classroom but when the time comes, uphold employment.

This book report is written regarding the book Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger’s, by John Elder Robinson; published by Crown Publishers, New York. I chose this book due to the fact it’s about Asperger’s syndrome. When I first read a brief description of the syndrome, it was defined as a social inability to interact or connect, with other people properly. As a person who suffered from severe social anxiety for most of my life, I was very interested in learning more about this syndrome. In some way, I thought I could understand the author’s point of view.

Carla’s tantrums and destructive behavior continues to be problematic in her other classes as well. A behavior intervention needs to be put in place that will help Carla’s behavior decrease. So, we first use a behavioral assessment which will include direct observation and then recording the behavior as it occurs (Miltenberger, 2016).

These limitations make it challenging to convey these judgements to a natural environment (2005). Cozier and Tincani are implying that there are limited ways in which social stories could be delivered to the child with ASD. Therefore, its delivery method is not as diverse as some methods are when it comes to implementing them into therapy. Nonetheless, the Social Story intervention approach continues to be a common intervention to help children with ASD in social

Undoubtedly, the children with ASD can benefit from one on one medical and behavioral treatments, however, helpful family therapies with family members can reduce anxiety and stress levels and ameliorate relationships within the family, educating parents of ASD children who have lower educational rank about the treatment options of treatment and their rights as citizens, eradicating institutionalized discrimination and racism from public welfare services via policy changes, and improving access to health services in geographically isolated rural areas can tremendously improve the future outlook for these needy children. A society is better when every member contributes meaningfully towards its betterment. The failure of ASD affected individuals when viewed through the ecological theory puts in perspective that every individual is a product of the environment he or she is in and the environment itself shapes the behavior and development and future possibilities especially for those suffering from

Goldsmith & Linda A. LeBlanc, 2004) . ASDs vary substantially in the severity and nature of symptoms but are defined by persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction as well as the presence of restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior(Tina R. Goldsmith & Linda A. LeBlanc, 2004).Other than that, signs of autism include difficulty talking about personal feelings or understanding the feelings of others, disinclination to share or engage in reciprocal play with others, lack of eye contact and joint attention behavior, difficulty communicating or using language, and sensitivity to physical contact(Tina R. Goldsmith & Linda A. LeBlanc, 2004). Besides that, early intervention is critical for a positive long-term outcome, and many individuals need high levels of support throughout their lives such as treatments include applied behavior analysis in which positive and negative behaviors are encouraged and discouraged to improve social and communicative skills(Tina R. Goldsmith & Linda A. LeBlanc, 2004). Other approaches is focus on utilizing nonhuman partners to facilitate human-human social interaction, for instance, through pet-assisted therapy(Tina R. Goldsmith & Linda A. LeBlanc, 2004).

Asperger 's Syndrome is difficult to live with. It affects me in all aspects of life. In school, I have great difficulty communicating in groups (for example, Socratic Seminars); I either fail to speak up, misunderstand what someone is talking about, or ignore the entire discussion. This failure to follow through has drastically affected my grade and I immediately knew I needed to change my behavior, and fast. As I entered high school, with the help of my parents and prior experience, my social skills have steadily improved, and I began to work as a group.
