MT1: Week 3 Flashcards
why is it important for people to have evidence based interventions??
-many ineffective interventions non-evidence interventions : -delay implementation of effective intervention -expensive -risky -harmful
Describe facilitated communication
- when facilitator grabs person with autism hand and uses a typer to type.
- not evidence based.
- not recommended
- potentially harmful
- putting words into person’s mouth
What are evidence based/ scientifically based interventions?
- applied behavior analysis (ABA): PRT, DTTS
- LEAP(Learning expereinces: an alternative program for preschoolers and parents
What are some promising practices?
- play oriented
- AAC(Augmentive and alternative comm), PECS(picture exchange comm. system)
- TEACCH(structured teaching)
- FLOORTIME
- INCIDENTAL TEACHING
- PHARMACOLOGICAL
which interventions have limited support?
- floor time
- animal therapy
- diet
- vaccines
- holding therapy
- art therapy
Which of these interventions is classified as a scientifically based treatment? • A) Holding Therapy • B) Art Therapy • C) Floor Time • D) Pet Therapy • E) None of the above
none of the above
Which of these things are false regarding early structured behavioral interventions for children with autism? Please choose the best answer.
• A) These interventions often took great amounts of time in order to teach skills.
• B) These interventions were often enjoyable for both the clinician and client.
• C) Children receiving these treatments often would engage in disruptive behaviors such as hitting and biting.
• D) These interventions were effective at teaching skills to children with autism.
d) these interventions were often enjoyable for both the clinician and client.
According to the authors of the facilitated communication article from your reading assignment, the primary goal of facilitated communication is to help an individual communicate independently. a) True
b) False
FALSE
What are the different types of evidence?
- group statistical design: which has an experimental group and a control group
- single case designs: experiments (NOT case histories) baseline to start treatment on individual child
Why were there lots of lawsuits against schools?
because they wouldn’t focus on fufilling childrens special needs
3 primary factors identified
1)IEP goals must be matched to evalution data
2)IEP team members must be qualified to develop programs
3) methodlogy selected must be ab;e to assist the students in achieving identified IEP goals
IEP=Individualized education plan
What do the authors argue is a main difference between Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and facilitated communication (FC)?
AAC seeks to establish meaningful, independent communication to enhance the focus person’s self-expression, dignity, and quality of life. In contrast, FC is an approach that in reality never results in independent communication. By requiring indefinitely the presence of another person to “communicate,” FC promotes dependence, disguised as advocacy, and legitimizes the false but widely held belief that individuals with significant disabilities cannot learn to independently communicate
What do the authors list as evidence-based AAC techniques that could be used instead of FC?
sign language , picture-based systems and speech-generating mobile devices
Why do the authors believe that facilitated communication is making a comeback?
strategic rebranding (i.e., “supported typing”) and repackaging (i.e., Rapid Prompting Method) of FC as well as old tactics that capitalize on confirmation bias, pseudoscience, anti-science, and fallacy
what are some main arguments against facilitated communication?
suppresses
self-determination, usurps voices, and obstructs the development of a personal identity of people
with disabilities.
