METHODS
APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS (ABA)
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientifically proven approach to understand and change behaviors. It uses a range of strategies and techniques to help children learn new skills and replace inappropriate behaviors. This method helps children develop in different domains like speech, language, social skills, attention span and compliance.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIOR THERAPY (CBT)
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that helps individuals manage their problems by changing the way they think and behave. CBT is designed to help the clients understand how their thoughts, behaviors and emotions affect each other. The approach is designed to help the clients learn new ways of thinking about and responding to distressing situations. This approach also teaches the clients how to replace those feelings, thoughts and actions with more helpful and realistic ones. CBT can help children with ASD learn coping skills by understanding their thoughts and feelings, and guide them to replace their responses during these distressing situations.
NATURALISTIC TEACHING
In recent decades, the naturalistic teaching approach has provided guidance and a path to socialization to many who are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Naturalistic is an extension of the ABA suite of techniques and pedagogies, this approach emphasizes contextual learning. Due to the recent critique of the ABA’s drill-like, rote nature, the naturalistic approach was developed to provide a more holistic and adaptive teaching technique. This approach is both adaptive and reactive to the child’s needs and environment, making it easier for the skills to generalize globally. What it means is that, having learnt a particular skill, a student is encouraged to apply it to a range of situations that are related to the particular experience. Unlike the rote-memorization of ABA which was criticized for its limited student applicability, naturalistic methods provide ample variation and context in which skills can be practiced. Rather than occurring in highly specialized setting, naturalistic approaches can be applied in every context.
