Changing behavior (used to be called behavior modification) using positive reinforcement; applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a teaching method used to help children with autism learn to their full potential.

we may you involved with a child with autism one term I am sure you are familiar with through your knowledge, skill, and experience is ABA Therapy. Unfortunately this term comes with a large order of questions. What is ABA Therapy? Do you need to take your child into a specialist center for this type Does your child need an ABA Therapist? Is ABA Therapy something you can perform at home? This last question is one that is regularly asked and the good news is that the answer is “yes”.

If you are to try some techniques from home I would encourage you to explore and educate yourself with the different approaches, ideas, and teachings that are used in performing ABA Therapy. Focus on:

• Prompting
• Shaping
• Task Analysis
• Functional Behavioral Analysis
• Functional Communication Training 

• Using positive and negative reinforcement

• Positive reinforcers are something that you like or want which is given to you after you present a specific desired behavior. 
• What is to be done, what is causing “the behavior 
• What is done because of the Antecedent, what “they” do
•  What is causing the behavior to continue, what reinforces it

 I’m always on the lookout for good ways to keep Brad entertained. If these autism activities are stimulating, even better, and if they help him learn skills, that’s the best. Brad interests change  often but we have a few constants that keep him happy and entertained, often activities that involve stimming, sensory input, or screen time.

The following autism activities are all things you can do at home.

So when it comes to autism acceptance, I believe the answer is somewhere in the middle. We need to keep in mind how broad the spectrum is. There are people on both ends of it, and some somewhere in the middle too, with levels of functioning varying drastically from one person to another, and one day to the next too. ⁣

My Advice to Parents that have a child Diagnosed with autism

Depending on where you live, your child’s school may be online, in person, or in a hybrid format. Regardless of your school’s plan for the Fall, there is one thing that stands true across the country: school is going to look different this year. 

The changes that are going to happen in schools will be difficult for any child to adjust to, and children with special needs are no exception. It will be helpful to prepare your child for what may lie ahead by showing them what is going to be different about school this year and explaining to them why these changes are necessary. 

One great way to introduce these concepts to a child with autism is through social stories. These informative stories have graphics paired with simple sentences to help make certain topics easier to understand.

 Your contribution can helps provide resources in many way and interventions to individuals like my son with autism, giving him opportunity, hope, and a vision for his future.

Anyone with a sibling knows this is the truth, especially when you and your sibling(s) were young kids.

But when you have a child that have Autism is tossed into the mix  with totally normal sibling can take a more drastic turn.
A big concern for other families is sibling interaction, or lack of. Usually, the issues fall into one of these categories:

1. Step back from the problems, and focus on what you do want to see, 
2. issues with name-calling and teasing? Then you want to see respect.
3. issues with hitting or kicking? Then you want to see calm bodies.
4.  issues with always having to win every game? Then you want to see playing by the rules. 
5. When it comes to behavior: focus on what you want, rather than what you don't want.

 My mission has always been to show other with autism to  build a safe community for families to share the unique challenges of parenting a special needs child as well as celebrate the unique.
