How Therapy helps Autistic kids to learn new skills?
Many children with autism have issues with sensory integration. This means the autistic child is frequently loaded with sensory information and lacks the ability to filter out the unimportant information. Loud noises, sticky items, bright lights and huge crowds are enough to cause a tantrum. Sensory Integration Therapy and Occupational Therapy help address the issue. However, these therapies are most effective if you start them while your child is really young.
If the child never verbalizes anything close to how the word is produced, speech therapy would then work on achieving the best word approximations through verbal imitation.
Each child presents different strengths and difficulties. A plan outlines the goals, strategies and services children will receive based on their own needs.
Many children with autism learn well with an appropriate and graded teaching methodology.
Therapy follow stand-over-hand prompting and fading.
Therapy Program needs to focus on transition too because some children with autism have great difficulty with transitions. This means asking kids to switch from one activity to the next can cause a tantrum.
Behavior Therapy should support the therapy program plan(e.g. constant rocking behaviors, hand-flapping, obsessed with certain toys or lines them up and insists on not moving them, makes repetitive motions or repeats the same speech over and over, lacks the desire to play with other kids around her age, and/or if she has an extreme reaction to any sort of the change in her environment, diet or routine).
