I learned that you teach the child what to do when he wants something, to given the item right away, to use only the word for the item as the request (just say cookie if you want them to say cookie), manipulate your environment, and teach them to mand for items out of sight.
@@natesportyboy4939 When you want something in a restaurant, you ask the bartender for it. When you want you salary, you go to work. Aba training is the exact same thing but for children with cognitive and social disabilities. It's not about being a dog or no. It's about creating a relationship with an autistic child who has a lot of problems to communicate. I understand that it seems like training a dog but so we are all trained like them. Just not that explicit :-)
@@hironizer1332 There are so many ways to teach those lessons without ABA, which is primarily concerned with controlling behaviors based on how they look to others rather than what effects they are having on the person.
If a child ask for cookie unprompted in between activities should one be given? Or even if they asked for a cookie in the middle of a new activity should a cookie be given?
Blessed4infinity if its a new word YES! Anytime they ask it should be delivered to reinforce the skill and it shows generalization! You can give a smaller piece to avoid satiation.
I am Autistic and all I can say is Ignore all of these ABA idiots, we are people, we are not a disease, we are great as who we are, if your worried about your child being autistic do not talk to these idiots talk to someone with Autism. There is Nothing wrong with me, there is nothing wrong with autistics, difference is not wrong... Accept and love people stop trying to make them conform into your limited boundaries.
Lol, as another person with Autism, while what you said is true, that is simply not what is being done in this video. We are people, not a disease. But that does not mean that we, as people, do not benefit from learning functional communication skills to meet our needs in society. People shouldn't look down on us. But calling them "idiots" for trying to help (at least in this video, I can't speak for everyone in any situation), is unnecessary and kind of rude honestly.
hi! as someone who is not autistic but also not neurotypical, i understand where you’re coming from. however, i also work as an RBT implementing ABA and the general goals are really aimed towards functional communication and independence. we are trying to make life easier for kids that are autistic by helping them gain their voice to ask for what they want and be able to connect with other people. additionally, we are there to help teach positive life goals like using the toilet independently and eating independently so the kids are able to have these skills and less dependence on other people
