Autism Intervention Case Study

304 Words2 Pages

JOURNAL #2 I have enjoyed reading and learning about the many intervention strategies on the Autism Internet Modules. Although I currently do not have any students with ASD, I know the information I have learned is invaluable. Last week, I did have the opportunity to work with a new female kindergarten student who will be assessed for ASD. The teacher has noticed that “KK” gets upset with her peers if she does not get her way or loses when playing a game. KK is verbal and seems to struggle with social skills. She will call people “ugly” or fat and does not seem to understand that is not an acceptable behavior or that calling names hurts people’s feelings. The first day of therapy, “KK” was upset because she did not like or want to

    New data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concludes that with a 30 percent increase in the past two years, 1 in 68 U.S. children have been diagnosed with ASD concluding that early intervention can greatly improve a child’s long-term development and social behaviors (Autism 2014). There are several factors that may contribute to the rising prevalence rate of ASD. Like other disabilities, the occurrence rate of ASD for boys is five times higher than it is for girls. There could be several reasons for this disparity (Hallahan, Kauffman, Pullen, 2015, pp. 211). An article in Times Magazine entitled “Why Girls May be Protected Against Autism” explores why this may be the case.

    It is very common for a child with Autism to have outburst frequently; therefore, it is important to know how to control the situation. Then her teacher allowed Daisy time and space to calm down. Daisy’s teacher gave her support at recess by allowing her a quiet, “safe” environment and a special way of “connecting” with other kids through a popular common interest, Buster. I really liked how the school principal, teacher, special education staff, and parents did there best to work as a team and find it important for all of us to do this when working with students. The school also had an older student, matching Daisy’s interest, who was enlisted as a “buddy”.

    Since the early 1960s, autistic children have been the subject when it comes to studies for applied behavior analytic (ABA) treatment (Smith & Antolovich, 2000). Autistic children who participate in ABA treatment also receive numerous types of programs (Smith & Antolovich, 2000). For instance, children take part in speech, sensorimotor integration, play therapy and etc (Smith & Antolovich, 2000). These interventions may complement behavior analytic treatment by enhancing children's skills or reducing maladaptive behaviors that hinder children's progress, such as aggression or stereotypes (Smith & Antolovich, 2000). The researchers try to limit the use of this treatment that by turning their limited resources into interventions that can be harmful or not very effective (Smith & Antolovich, 2000).

    When trying to join a game at recess, “the core features of autism – social, communication and behavior problems – can make joining a game of kickball at recess or playing tag with neighborhood kids a struggle” (Sarris). Joining a game of kickball is harder for them to join than a child without the disabilities. However, “by creating an autism friendly environment, the child will not associate exercise with stress, and will enjoy it more and continue to practice it” (Morin). By making a stress free environment, the children will want to practice and play the sport more often. When making a class, “one constructive physical habit to introduce and nurture in children with ASD is swimming and organized swim lessons, which will have multiple benefits for them” (Altenbach-Brennan).
