Izadi-Najafabadi et al (2015), journal’s the purpose was to determine if whether or not, ASD children could learn a motor skill both implicitly and explicitly. this study, had children that range from ages 7-11 years and had attend at public elementary school. Prior to experimentation, the children with ASD were diagnosed based on medical examinations and autism spectrum disorder screening. Also, in this study there were a total of thirty boys diagnosed with ASD, aged 7-11 with an IQ average of 81.2, who were compared with 32 typical IQ and age-matched boys on their performance on a serial reaction time task (SRTT). In both groups of boys were divided into equal groups of implicit and explicit motor learning. Each group were matched by their
Discrete trial teaching is a teaching method classified by the fast pace delivery and shortened period of instructions (5-20 seconds) and incorporation of prompts, which is also referred to as errorless learning. DTT is under the umbrella of ABA and it is a method used to teach new skills and behaviors to children on the autism spectrum. As well DTT uses a unique style of teaching, errorless learning. Which unlike the normal teaching of trial and error. This style of teaching has been shown to be very effective with children with autism. Furthermore, Applied Behavior analysis seeks to address the antecedent and consequences of behavior ( Hunter class). There is over 60 years of research to support the effectiveness of ABA to address the behavior or children with development disabilities. Furthermore we discussed in lecture that punishment and reinforcement are the driving principle behind changing behavior. DTT uses carefully timed reinforcement to support newly learned behaviors and skills. This research indicates that the use of ABA leads to very effective results in children. (Hunter, 2015)
The majority of this research focuses on communication, socialization, verbal use, repetitive movements, the assessment, and behavioral responses in children with ASD. Each study focused on a different aspect of the development of children with ASD, but they all reached the same conclusions in the results. Children with ASD develop differently in many areas than typical children.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be also connected with intellectual ability; having trouble with mental coordination, attention, and sometimes having trouble with physical health issues such as sleep. Some children with ASD are good at visual skills, math, music, art and other subjects. Children that have mental coordination trouble can also have issues withprocessing a task that has been giving to them. When drawing a visual diagram it helps autistic children to see what is being explained and what is being asked to do. Some kids that are diagnosed with Autism can also be good at math and solving problems. ASD kids can also be good at music like, singing, playing an instrument, hearing the rhythm or feeling the vibrations that is giving from the son...
...n between the ages 1-5 showed some initial gains in cognitive and language functioning, which includes but not limited to communication, self-care, imitation, and play skills, and were placed in regular classroom settings. Although many strives have been made, some results suggest significant racial and ethnic disparities in the identification of children with ASD. There have been studies comparing behavioral approaches to general electric approached have found them to be lacking, but some of the programs were community based. When it comes to making treatment plans, some think that specific behavioral profiles may be useful in identifying which children are likely to respond to a particular treatment. While positive results have been made towards treatment, there are no ASD treatments that currently meet criteria for well-established empirical supported treatment.
Cody is an eight-year-old boy diagnosed with autism. Cody tends to perseverant on things that are dangerous. He often verbalizes “glass is dangerous, it cuts your eye, call 211, go to the hospital.” Cody also tends to stare off into space and is socially inappropriate.
“Asperger’s syndrome (AS), a high functioning form of autism, is growing in prevalence, having risen tenfold over the past decade” (Robinson Pg.2310-2321). AS is a lifelong brain development disorder that leads to problems with social skills, behavior, and coordination (“Asperger's Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms, and Diagnosis”). Asperger’s syndrome usually becomes obvious during childhood and remains throughout life, with varying degrees of disability. Although AS cannot be cured, early diagnosis and intervention can help a child make social connections, achieve their potential, and lead a productive life.
In this paper I hope to illuminate you to the symptoms of Asperger’s syndrome. Asperger’s is part of the autism spectrum. It is at the top of the spectrum. People who have Asperger’s are very high functioning, but lack common social skills and they have average to above average vocabulary skills. The symptoms may not be identified until a child is two years of age, because of the natural (normal) development of a child. However, doctors prefer to test the child at six years of age. This topic is near and dear to my heart, because I have a ten year old son, Jayden, who has Asperger’s. Jayden was diagnosed when he was six years old. It was then that I was informed that Asperger’s is not a disease, instead, it is a learning disability. In fact, many times it has been mistaken for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). So, in this research I will enlighten you to the many and varied symptoms of Asperger’s which are as follows: limited or inappropriate social interactions; “robotic” or repetitive speech; challenges with non-verbal communication coupled with average to above average speech; tendency to discuss self rather than others; inability to understand social/emotional issues or non-literal phrases; lack of eye contact or reciprocal conversation; obsession with specific and often unusual topics; one-sided conversations and awkward movements or gestures.(retrieved on 11/7/13 from www.autismspeaks.org)
Uneven language development is one of the biggest red flags that indicate ASD. For example, a normal child consistently learns new words and continues to learn how to arrange them into cohesive statements, whereas a child with ASD learns a few words and then have long p...
The child I observed was born on February 21st, so the baby that I observed is just weeks old. The baby is white and a male. The baby is a friend’s child and I observed him in the living room of their home and in his personal bedroom while he was in his crib. There was two couches in the living room, a television, two end tables, and a big sectional rug which was where the child was most of the time. There was 4 adults. The mom, the dad, my mom, and I. There were no other children in the house at this time.
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that effects the brains development. It is characterized by affecting communication, cognition and social interaction. The spectrum of the disorders ranges from a mild condition called Asperger’s syndrome to a more severe form, which severely impairer’s development. The Office of Communications and Public Liaison states that the disorder affects one and eighty-eight children, however ASD effects boys more frequently than girls (Office of Communications and Public Liaison, 2013). ASD emerges in all age, ethnic and socioeconomic groups. The significant varied character and severity of the disorder is why ASD is considered a spectrum that poses a broad range of symptoms.

These five developmental disorders are commonly known as Autism Spectrum Disorders. “The most common are Autism, Asperger's syndrome and Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) (www.learningdisabilitiesinfo.com).” Severe Autism, Rett Syndrome, and CDD are usually recognized before a child reaches the age of three. However, high-functioning Autism and Asperger’s are often times not discovered until a child enters school. High-functioning Autism and Asperger’s are frequently compared, considering children with these disorders express the same traits and characteristics. Conversely, the main difference between the two disorders is pragmatics, or language skills. A child with Asperger’s Syndrome is capable of communicating, but due to their social and developmental impairments, they cannot appropriately communicate with their peers. On the other hand, a child with Autism lacks language skills and requires spec...
Children, who suffer from autism, and other related developmental disabilities, require effective treatment that is child guided, strength-based, and goal specific. The desired skills and interventions for this population mandate the interventions, in most cases remain generalized to daily activities of life. The purpose of having a generalized approach to behavioral interventions and change is to promote the subject’s ability to port the acquired skills learned into daily life activities, to reach the subjects maximum level of autonomy. According to Eldevik et.al., (2009) there is significant evidence that supports the use of ABA interventions with children that suffer from ASD. Furthermore, Eldevik et.al., (2009) states that “children with ASD that receive Applied
I observed the child from Japan. Her name is Mari and lives in Tokyo, Japan. By observing her in the film, i noticed many differences from other cultures.
The behaviors found with people living with ASD include: having specific rituals in daily lifestyle, which can unusual behaviors, having excessively focused interests and having a lasting, intense interest in certain topics, such as numbers, details, or facts ("“I Am Sam” with Autism Spectrum
