Helping Children with Autism Manage Their Behavior.
Dalrymple, Nancy Justin
The sourcebook addresses ways to help autistic children manage their behavior by analyzing the learning environment, discussing behavior management techniques, and giving specific procedures for increasing attention and compliance. Introductory sections review the philosophy that emphasizes respect and self-confidence gained through success. Three major chapters address the following topics: creating a physical environment for learning (organization of time and data, application to other environments); planning techniques to encourage appropriate behavior (communicating with children with respect; cueing; modeling; using natural consequences; increased behaviors through positive reinforcement and contingencies; and decreasing behaviors through ignoring, redirection, and satiation and overcorrection); and increasing attention and compliance (levels of assistance and intervention).
