This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between physical activity and verbal behavior of preschool children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy sessions. This study has two research questions: The first is, to what extent does physical activity influence the rate of manding of children with ASD during ABA therapy sessions? The second question is, to what extent does physical activity influence the variety of mands of children with ASD during ABA therapy sessions? The study took place at a university-based verbal behavior laboratory. Four preschool children with ASD received ABA therapy at the verbal behavior laboratory were recruited to participate in the study. The research questions were addressed using a single subject multi-element design (Barlow and Hayes, 1979) consisting of two separate treatment conditions. The first treatment condition consisted of discrete trial training and similar activities that promoted relatively sedentary behaviors. The children received most of their therapy at either a table or small area of the verbal behavior laboratory. The second treatment condition consisted of natural environment training that promoted more physical activity and encouraged children to explore the verbal behavior laboratory. Data on the rate of mands and the variety of mands were collected and analyzed. Three of the four participants had slightly higher rates of manding and manded for a greater variety of items or activities in the active treatment condition. The three children that displayed the higher levels of verbal behavior in the active condition displayed corresponding lower levels of verbal behavior as assessed by the VB-MAPP and VOA. Based on the findings of the study it is recommended that ABA providers employ activities that promote physical activity during ABA therapy for preschool children with ASD especially to those that have low levels of verbal behavior as assessed by the VB-MAPP and VOA.

This book was released on 2014-04-18 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research on children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is extensive and growing. Although these conditions are recognized as affecting the entire lifespan, the literature on ASD after childhood is limited and has not been brought together in a single volume in over a decade. Adolescents and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders fills this knowledge gap by focusing on needs and difficulties unique to these stages of development. Expert contributors offer cogent reviews of complex issues, from education to employment, leisure activities to illegal behaviors, mental health issues to medical health concerns. The latest findings in key areas, such as psychosocial and residential treatments, social skills programs, epidemiology, the impact of ASD on families, are examined in detail. Throughout the volume, coverage focuses on areas requiring improved models of assessment, updated data, new interventions and increased support services. Featured topics include: Transition from high school to adulthood for adolescents and young adults with ASD. Innovative programming to support college students with ASD. Romantic relationships, sexuality and ASD. Treatment of mental health comorbidities. Assessment and treatment planning in adults with ASD. The range of outcomes and challenges in middle and later life.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aux États-Unis, il y a quelques millions d'enfants qui ont reçu un diagnostic de troubles reliés à l'enfance. Le chiffre réel est inconnu, mais certains parlent de 3.5% des enfants Américains qui rencontrent diverses difficultés. Selon le DSM-IV et l'American Psychiatric Association, c'est la déficience intellectuelle et les troubles envahissants du développement qui sont les plus exigeants pour établir une intervention adéquate. Ces troubles seront présents toute la vie durant et nécessiteront une intervention intensive en raison de la déficience intellectuelle, de la déficience de la parole et du langage, de l'adaptation sociale et de la déficience physique associée avec ceux-ci. Dans l'optique d'une intervention précoce et de stratégies éducatives, le but de ce document est d'aider les parents et le personnel professionnel et spécialisé à mieux comprendre la déficience du langage et de la parole, ainsi qu'à leur offrir des lignes directrices pour la mise en place d'une évaluation et d'apprentissages individualisés. Il est question des enfants autistes, cependant, l'évaluation et le modèle d'intervention utilisés peuvent s'appliquer à une variété d'autres enfants rencontrant des difficultés du langage et de la parole telles : le syndrome d'Asperger, le syndrome de Down, le syndrome du X fragile ou de la déficience intellectuelle. Les aspects touchés par ce document portent sur l'évaluation du langage dans une perspective béhaviorale et de l'interprétation de cette évaluation, de la communication, de la mise en place d'une intervention pour le développement du langage, de l'imitation, de l'écholalie et de divers apprentissages d'appariement, de relations interpersonnelles, de la réception de l'information ainsi que des besoins de l'environnement et du milieu scolaire.

Download or read book Behavioral Issues in Autism written by Eric Schopler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Division TEACCH, a statewide program in North Carolina, serves people with autism and their families through the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. TEACCH was one of the first, and remains one of the most comprehensive and effective, programs in the world working with this population. Over the years the puzzling and unusual behavior problems these children present have been among the most interesting and challenging of the enigmas parents and professionals confront. This book is designed to provide information on these behaviors that will be relevant and useful. As with the preceding books in our series, Current Issues in Autism, this volume is based in part on one of the annual TEACCH Conferences held in Chapel Hill in May. The books are not simply published proceedings of the conference papers. Instead, conference participants are asked to develop full-length chapters around their presentations. Other international experts, whose work is beyond the scope of each conference but related to its major theme, are asked to contribute chapters as well. These volumes provide the most up-to-date information on research and professional practice available on the most important issues in autism.

Download or read book In High School Aged Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Does Physical Activity Influence Functional Capacity written by Kaelyn Beach and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Teens diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at an increased risk of developing comorbidities associated with a sedentary lifestyle. Alongside obesity, a decrease in physical fitness and delays in motor skill acquisition impact functional capacity and ability of the child to participate in society. The purpose of this literature review was to determine if physical activity impacted the functional capacity in high-school aged children with ASD.Methods: A comprehensive search strategy using MEDLINE Complete, CINAHL, Cochrane, SPORTDiscus, APA PsycInfo, socINDEX, ERIC, and Rehabilitation & Sport Medicine was completed. Search terms included: “autism spectrum disorder,” “exercise,” “rehabilitation,” “physical therapy,” and “functional activity.” Inclusion criteria included: application of a physical activity intervention, a sample diagnosed with ASD, and implementation of either intervention, cohort, systematic review, or meta-analysis study designs. Exclusion criteria included: an outcome that focused only on the cognitive, behavioral, or sensory domains, a sample diagnosed only with Asperger’s syndrome, studies not written in English, and a sample that only included adults over 22 years of age.Results: After a thorough review of the literature, seven articles were selected for inclusion in this review: 1 meta-analysis, 1 systematic review, 4 intervention studies, and 1 feasibility study.Discussion: Though strong evidence is lacking in this area of research, results from this review indicate a positive correlation between physical activity and improvements in functional capacity. Future research should include physical therapists as keystone providers for children with ASD and guidelines made to assist therapists in the prevention of secondary impairments and improvements in physical functioning of children with ASD.
