characteristics of individuals w/ autism and the use of visual supports to promote
meaning and independence

Autism
- developing an individualized person- family- centered plan for each clien rather
than using a standard curriculum
- structuring the physical enviornment
- using visual supports to make the sequence of daily activities predictable and

range of symptoms
Identify the currently accepted prevalence rates of autism. - ANSWER- 1 in 59
What does DSM stand for? - ANSWER- Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of

Minimum number of CEUs per year - ANSWER- 20
Target Behavior - ANSWER- Behavior selected for change
What is an observable and measurable behavior? - ANSWER- A behavior that can
be seen and measured.
Difference between classical and operant conditioning. - ANSWER- Classicalinvoluntary response and a stimulus
Operant- associate a voluntary respinse and consequence
primary reinforcer - ANSWER- an innately reinforcing stimulus, such as one that
satisfies a biological need (food, water, sleep, sex)
secondary reinforcer - ANSWER- any reinforcer that becomes reinforcing after
being paired with a primary reinforcer, such as praise, tokens, or gold stars
three part contingency - ANSWER- discriminative stimulus, operant response, and
reinforcer or punishment
Two main types of behavior - ANSWER- Operant and respondent
skill deficit - ANSWER- the absence or insufficiency of a needed behavior or skill
performance deficit - ANSWER- when a student knows how to perform the
desired behavior but chooses not to or is incapable of doing so owing to anger,
frustration, or some other condition
Incidental teaching - ANSWER- Structuring and sequencing learning opportunities
so that they occur within a natural setting and which is used to give the learner an
opportunity to practice a skill
naturalistic teaching strategies - ANSWER- instructional techniques that are used
with children having neurodevelopmental disorders and that move away from
traditional desk instruction toward more natural social interactions
task analysis - ANSWER- The process of breaking a complex skill or series of
behaviors into smaller, teachable units; also refers to the results of this process.
discrimination training - ANSWER- requires one response and two antecedant
stimulus conditions. The response in the presence of one stimulus is reinforced
while a response in the presence of the other is not. We are teaching them to make
choices.
stimulus control - ANSWER- A situation in which the frequency, latency,
duration, or amplitude of a behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an
antecedent stimulus.
Stimulus control transfer - ANSWER- A procedure used to teach independence by
transferring stimulus from a prompt to something natural in the environment
Stimulus fading - ANSWER- highlighting a physical dimension of a stimulus to
increase the likelihood of a correct response then the highlighted or exaggerated
dimension is eventually faded out (ex: using traffic safety cones to mark a
boundary to stay within and removing them slowly after the learner knows the
boundaries)
Sources of Sensory Information - ANSWER- Exteroception (external) and
proprioception (internal)
Sensory challenges of people with autism - ANSWER- language delays or deficits
fine and gross motor delays
strong sensory interests
sensory aversions
an inability to interact with people and objects
an inability to stay within an interaction
repetitive sensory stereotypies (stimming)
and much more
events that increase anxiety for people with autism and how to manage them -
ANSWER- Unstructured time, waiting, academic pressure, large crowds, sensory
issues (overstimulation and/or seeking input)
Sensory input, Fidgets to improve self-regulation,
Sensory Integration Therapy
Visual schedules
Routines
biomedical approaches - ANSWER- Diets and Supplements - such as the glutenfree, casein-free diet, omega-3 fatty acids, and probiotics
