Q

Cognitive mechanisms

A

weak central coherence/local processing bias: impairments in ability to integrate material into context, explains stregnths and cognitive deficits
theory of mind: representing and reasoning about other’s minds to understand and predict others behaviours; addresses social/language impairments
executive functioning: impairments in planning, changing set, flexibility of thought; addresses non social aspects

Q

central coherence

A

focusing on details rather than big picture
unable to filter out unwanted informaiton
explains strengths- good rote learning, local processing bias
explains challenges-difficulty with comprehension or understanding a theme due to having a stregnth in local processing, alongside a deficit in global processing

21
Q

disadvantages direct assessment

A

ADOS-2 may miss those with higher verbal abilities or who have learned tasks (pretend play), can instead observe in real world setting or elicit these behaviours

22
Q

Diagnosis tools for adults without IDD

A

AAA, AQ, EQ
ADI-R
ADOS-2
ASDI
RAADS-R

23
Q

Diagnosis tools for adults with IDD

A

ADOS-2 but use with caution if minimally verbal activities are designed for children and not age appropriate
ADI-R

24
Q

adult assessment- enquire about…

A

core ASD symptoms- childhood and continuing into adulthood
early developmental history where possible
behavioural problems
funcitoning at home, school, work
past/current physical/mental conditions
other NDC
hyper and/or hypo sensitivities, attention to detail
condcut direct observations of core autism signs and symptoms especially in social situations

25
Q

information regarding social interaction and/or communication domain

A

receptive language
expressive language
social comm

26
Q

information regarding repetitive behaviour

A

sensory motor assessment
behaviour assessment
mental health assessment
neurological assessment

27
Q

ASD levels of intervention

A

comprehensive treatment models
focused intervention practices (FIP)

28
Q

Comprehensive treatment models

A

longer term packages of practices designed to address multiple domains over an extended period
e.g. TEACCH

29
Q

FIP

A

Short term practices designed to address a specific learning area
picture exchange communication system (PECS), reinforcement, prompting

30
Q

Antecedent based intervention (ABI)

A

arranging events preceding interfering behaviour, designed to reduce behaviour

31
Q

CBI

A

instruction or management or control of congitive processes leading to changes in overt behaviours

32
Q

differential reinforcement of alternative, incompatible or other behaviour (DRA/I/O)

A

rienforcement when engaged in a sipecific desired behaviour other than the inappropriate behaviour (DRA)
Learner engaged in behaviour physically impossible to do while showing inappropriate behaviour (DRI)
when learner not engaged in interfering behaviour (DRO)

33
Q

discrete trial teaching

A

one teacher and one student/client teaching appropriate behaviour or skills
massed trials
each trial: teacher instruction, client response, carefully planned consequence, pause prior to presenting next instruction

34
Q

exercise (ECE)

A

increase in physical exertion to reduce problem or increase appropriate behaviour

35
Q

extinction (EXT)

A

Withdrawal or removal of reinforcers of interfering behaviour to reduce occurrence of that behaviour
sometimes single intervention, but often in combination with functional behaviour assessment, functional communciation training and differential reinforcement

36
Q

FBA- functional behaviour assessment

A

systematic collection of information to identify functional contingencies supporting behaviour

37
Q

functional communication training (FCT)

A

replacement of interfering behaviour that has a communication function with more appropriate communication that accomplishes the same function
usually includes FBA, DRA and/or EF

38
Q

modelling

A

demonstrating desired target behaviour with modelling

Q

naturalistic intervention (NI)

A

intervention in natural setting or routine

PEERS INTERACT AND HELP LEARN SOCIAL AND BEHAVIOUR SKILLS

42
Q

Picture exchange communication system (PECS)

A

initially taught to five picture of desired item to partner in exchange for desired item
six phases: How to communciate, distance and persistence, picture discrimination, sentence structure, responsive requesting and commenting

43
Q

pivotal response training (PRT)

A

learning variables llike motivation and self initiation guide intervention practices to build on learner initiative

44
Q

prompting, reinforcement, response interruption/redirection (RIR), scripting

A

prompting in target behaviour or skill
increasing occurrence of behaviour
comment or distracter when interfering behaviour occurs to divert attention away from interfering behaviour to reduce it
verbal or written descruption to model learning

describe social situation in detail,

47
Q

social skills training

clearly defined theme and role by adult leading play with specifically selected typically developing peers, prompting and scaffolding as needed to support performance

49
Q

task analysis

A

activity divided into manageable steps to assess and teach skills
reinforcement, modelling, time delay facilitate this

50
Q

technology aided instruction and intervention

A

technology central feature for acquisition of goal

51
Q

social skill intervention

A

determine target behaviour
collect baseline data
operationally define goal
select content of sessions, instructional strategies, incorporate items or activities that are rewarding for the individuals

52
Q

social story checklist

A
  1. Does the story answer the relevant “wh” questions?
  2. Is it written in the 1st person (as if the child is describing the
    event?)
  3. Does the story have a positive tone?
  4. Does it adhere to the ratio (0-1 directive, and 2-5 descriptive,
    perspective, affirmative, or co-operative)?
  5. Is the story literally accurate? Can it be interpreted literally
    without altering the intended meaning?
  6. Is the vocabulary/language appropriate to my child?
  7. What visual supports do I need to add to enhance
    understanding?
  8. Has the child’s interests been incorporated if possible?
  9. Overall, does the story have a patient and reassuring quality?
