Editor's Notes
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), commonly referred to as Autism, is a complex developmental brain disorder caused by a combination of genetic and environmental influences. ASD is characterized, in varying degrees, by communication difficulties, social and behavioural challenges, and repetitive behaviours and is considered to be a lifespan disorder. In Canada an estimated 1 in 68 diagnosed children is on the autism spectrum. The rate of ASD has increased over 100% in the last 10 years. Autism is now the fastest growing and most commonly diagnosed neurological disorder in Canada

These children who improve may be able to include themselves among their normal peers

Theatre Development fund- On October 2, 2011, TDF launched the Autism Theatre Initiative (ATI) with Disney's landmark musical The Lion King, the first ever autism-friendly performance of a Broadway show. This performance which made theatre accessible to children and adults on the autism spectrum as well as their families was so successful that the Autism Theatre Initiative has continued to present many autism-friendly performances on Broadway since then including Mary Poppins, Spider-Man, Wicked, Matilda, Phantom of the Opera, Aladdin, and more.

- Picture Exchange Communication System PECS was developed in 1985 as a unique augmentative/alternative communication intervention package for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and related developmental disabilities. PECS does not require complex or expensive materials. It was created with families, educators, and resident care providers in mind, so is readily used in a range of settings. PECS begins by teaching an individual to give a picture of a desired item to a “communicative partner", who immediately honors the exchange as a request. The system goes on to teach discrimination of pictures and how to put them together in sentences. In the more advanced phases, individuals are taught to answer questions and to comment.
- Dominic There are many strategies that could be of use to aid a child’s development with autism spectrum disorder. One strategy that can aid a child with ASD’s development is demonstrating rather than speaking instructions to promote learning. When a child with ASD visually see’s what they need to do, it may be easier for the child to interpret the instructions that were given to them. A second strategy is to encourage the development of specific talents in the child, such as being a natural engineer, artist or mathematician, to enhance self-esteem. A child with ASD may begin to have low self esteem due to the fact that they are not developing the same as a child who does not have ASD. By pointing out specific and unique talents that the child has that can be developed into something greater, this will build the child’s self-esteem. Lastly, a third strategy that can be used to aid the development of a child with ASD is keeping a consistent routine. Children with autism spectrum disorder may have an easier time learning new things if it is consistently being taught to them daily. They most likely will not adapt to a new learning technique or activity if it was taught to them once. Being consistent and thorough on a day to day basis with a child that has ASD will definitely help their developmental skills in the long run.
- The Greenspan Floortime Approach is a system developed by the late Dr. Stanley Greenspan. Floortime meets children where they are and builds upon their strengths and abilities through creating a warm relationship and interacting For any age child, you do three things: Follow your child’s lead, i.e. enter the child’s world and join in their emotional flow; Challenge her or him to be creative and spontaneous; and Expand the action and interaction to include all or most of her senses and motor skills as well as different emotions.
- Based on my interview by Ethan’s Dr with Dr. Burk, the Sooner Start team and analysis of his baseline data, the functions of Ethan’s undesired behaviors previously listed (e.g., tantrum, oppositional defiance, throwing objects, running) include: * Poor coping skills * Attempting to express frustration (maladaptive) * Being told no * Unable to “Get his way” * Attention seeking * Attempting to get a desired activity or object including obsessions * Attempt to escape an undesired activity * Attempt to avoid undesired activity * Sibling rivalry Attempting to make a caregiver, sibling or peer go away Ethan would benefit from a consistent behaviour plan that should be used both at home and school to maintain consistency across his environments Floortime
