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

Q

disadvantages direct assessment

Study These Flashcards
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

Study These Flashcards
A

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

23
Q

Diagnosis tools for adults with IDD

Study These Flashcards
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…

Study These Flashcards
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
information regarding social interaction and/or communication domain
receptive language expressive language social comm
26
information regarding repetitive behaviour
sensory motor assessment behaviour assessment mental health assessment neurological assessment
27
ASD levels of intervention
comprehensive treatment models focused intervention practices (FIP)
28
Comprehensive treatment models
longer term packages of practices designed to address multiple domains over an extended period e.g. TEACCH
29
FIP
Short term practices designed to address a specific learning area picture exchange communication system (PECS), reinforcement, prompting
30
Antecedent based intervention (ABI)
arranging events preceding interfering behaviour, designed to reduce behaviour
31
CBI
instruction or management or control of congitive processes leading to changes in overt behaviours
32
differential reinforcement of alternative, incompatible or other behaviour (DRA/I/O)
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
discrete trial teaching
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
exercise (ECE)
increase in physical exertion to reduce problem or increase appropriate behaviour
35
extinction (EXT)
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
FBA- functional behaviour assessment
systematic collection of information to identify functional contingencies supporting behaviour
37
functional communication training (FCT)
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
modelling
demonstrating desired target behaviour with modelling
39
naturalistic intervention (NI)
intervention in natural setting or routine
40
parent implemented intervention (PII)
parents deliver intervention in home or community through structured parent training program
41
peer mediated instruction and intervention (PMII)
PEERS INTERACT AND HELP LEARN SOCIAL AND BEHAVIOUR SKILLS
42
Picture exchange communication system (PECS)
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
pivotal response training (PRT)
learning variables llike motivation and self initiation guide intervention practices to build on learner initiative
44
prompting, reinforcement, response interruption/redirection (RIR), scripting
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
45
self management
learner discriminated between appropriate and inappropriate behaviours, monitor, record and reward
46
social narratives
describe social situation in detail,
47
social skills training
instructions on basic concepts, role playing or practice, feedback
48
structured play group
clearly defined theme and role by adult leading play with specifically selected typically developing peers, prompting and scaffolding as needed to support performance
49
task analysis
activity divided into manageable steps to assess and teach skills reinforcement, modelling, time delay facilitate this
50
technology aided instruction and intervention
technology central feature for acquisition of goal
51
social skill intervention
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
social story checklist
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?
