Please note that the child model featured here does not have a diagnosis of autism and is being used to demonstrate discrete trial teaching (part of a comprehensive ABA program) at various levels.
Sequencing:
This program develops abstract reasoning and problem solving skills. It addresses concepts of cause and effect, linear thinking such as first, next, and last, establishes the temporal relationship between events, and increases social awareness. This program also expands expressive language and develops storytelling skills.
Why/Because:
This program is crucial in teaching cause and effect relationships. It helps the child see connections between events, understand temporal relationships, identify repercussions of behaviors, and increases abstract reasoning skills by learning to make inferences.
Empathy:
This program helps children read facial expressions, respond to someone's emotions, and respond in an age-appropriate way. Children with Autism are often unaware of what is going on in their environment, especially something as subtle and complex as emotions
