INCLUSION

A data-based approach to including children with autism in regular education

classes.

 

Children with autism may learn prerequisite skills to participate in regular

education classrooms.  The success of these experiences, however, is often

dependent on the implementation of specific behavioral teaching procedures and

the skills of the individual aide and classroom teacher. This presentation will

review specific strategies that can be implemented within the classroom to

promote participation and successful learning of the child with autism. Video

taped examples will illustrate prerequisite skills to target and various

procedures to implement within the classroom.  Data measurement procedures to

document

success will also be reviewed.

I CAN DO IT MYSELF

Behavioral strategies to increase the independence of children with autism.

 

With the advance of behaviorally-based programming, children with autism can

learn many skills never thought possible.  Children with autism can learn to

talk, play with toys, socialize with their peers and become active functional

participants in their families and communities.  The goal of any intervention

program, however, is to help individuals with autism perform these responses

without supervision and direct prompts from adults. This presentation will

review specific skills that enhance the independent functioning of individuals

with

autism across a range of curriculum areas and behaviorally-based teaching

strategies to achieve independence.
