Applied Behaviour Analysis or ABA therapy relies on principles of behaviour analysis that has helped different learners learn a variety of new skills including language.
ABA therapy helps children with autism and other developmental disorders to acquire and master new skills.
This training will provide participants with visual support strategies to address the unique learning
needs and challenging behaviors of some students with disabilities. Participants will also have an
opportunity to make several visual supports to use in their classrooms.
This project is about autism. In this project we included general information about autism, intervention plan, diagnose, programs that can be used, and included a research that was done about the effect of using technology in this field.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. What is Autism?
Autism or autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental
disorder characterized by challenges with social skills,
repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication.
4.
5. Autism’s most-obvious signs tend to appear between 2 and 3 years of
age. In some cases, it can be diagnosed as early as 18 months. Some
developmental delays associated with autism can be identified and
addressed even earlier.
6.
7. • Autism is characterized by marked difficulties in behavior, social
interaction, communication and sensory sensitivities. Some of these
characteristics are common among people on the spectrum; others
are typical of the disability but not necessarily exhibited by all people
on the autism spectrum.
• Social Interaction Problems
• Communication Problems
• Behavioral Problems
8. The characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Social Interaction Problems
The most attention-grabbing problem in social interaction problems is
avoiding eye contact.
Communication Problems
Children with autism may have problems with speech phase. Their
language development fall far behind from their peers’.
9. • Behavior Problems
• People on the spectrum may exhibit unusual
behavior due to the difficulties they have
responding to their environment. Their behaviour
is generally an attempt by them to communicate
their feelings or to cope with a situation.
Behaviour problems may occur as the result of
their heightened sensitivity to a sound or
something they may have seen or felt.
• For people on the spectrum, rigidly sticking to
routines and spending their time in repetitive
behaviors are ways for them to reduce uncertainty
and maintain the predictability of their
environment.
10. Other behaviors may include:
Unusually intense or focused interests
Stereotyped and repetitive body movements such as hand
flapping and spinning
Repetitive use of objects such as repeatedly switching lights on
and off or lining up toys
Insistence on sticking to routines such travelling the same route
home each day and doing things in exactly the same order every
time
Unusual sensory interests such as sniffing objects or staring
intently at moving objects
Sensory sensitivities including avoidance of everyday sounds and
textures such as hair dryers, vacuum
11. DSM5
The DSM-5 redefined autism, DSM 4 included 5 Pervasive Developmental
Disorders (PDDs): Autistic Disorder,
Asperger’s Disorder
Rett’s Disorder
Childhood Disintegrative Disorder
Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not
otherwise specified
In the DSM-5, they are replaced by the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum
Disorder. Additionally, the DSM-5 also reduces social-related elements of
autism into social communication impairment and repetitive/restricted
behaviors, though the labels of Asperger’s and PDD-NOS are still in common
use.
12. there is not one autism but many types, caused by different
combinations of genetic and environmental influences.
The term “spectrum” reflects the wide variation in challenges and
strengths possessed by each person with autism.
13. Autism prevalence
On March 27, 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) released new data on the prevalence of autism in the United
States.
1 in 68 children in the United States. This includes 1 in 42 boys and 1 in
189 girls.
15. Causes
Still other researchers are investigating problems during pregnancy or
delivery as well as environmental factors such as viral infections,
metabolic imbalances and exposure to chemicals.
16. What are the steps that should be followed to
diagnose kids with autism?

27. CASE STUDY
Jessy, 18 years old.
Has a twin brother
Diagnosed with Autism, Bipolar Disorder and Depression( SSRI anti-
depressant)
Now, she is doing Occupational Therapy.
Started using ABA therapy since she was diagnosed at 2. (more than 50
hours).
Shadow teachers.
Eye contact and overall posture, daily routines(getting dressed, washing
hair, brushing teeth) , money, period.
Academically: read, write, make sentences and requests, use computer
and do simple mathematical operations or word problems, big/small
numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication.
28. Teaching curriculum addresses all skill areas in deficit, including:
speech and language;
Academics
Communication;
Play and social skills;
Cause-effect relationships;
and self-help and independent living skills.
Breaking down tasks into manageable components.
29. ABA (Applied Behavioural Analysis)
Applied behavior analysis is the process of systematically
applying interventions based upon the principles of learning theory to
improve socially significant behaviors to a meaningful degree, and to
demonstrate that the interventions employed are responsible for the
improvement in behavior.
30. ABA programs can help:
Increase language and communication skills
Improve attention, focus, social skills, memory, and academics
Decrease problem behaviors
31. Defining behavior
It’s the interaction of the part of an organism with it’s environment
,resulting in some change in that environment.
32. Why does ABA focus on behaviors?
Observable
Measurable
They can be described
Their change can be seen
34. ABC
Antecedents
1.Circle time to sing the
days of the week.
2.The teacher gave
math worksheets for
solving
Behavior
1.Johnny kicked his
student.
2.William started crying
Consequence
1.The teacher asked
him to go outside of
the class.
2.The teacher came
over
35. Basics of ABA
Behaviors are learned, and can be unlearned
A behavior is learned when it’s reinforced
A behavior is taken away when it’s replaced
36. Motivation
Motivation is essential in ABA
It should follow the natural interests (for example: activities, toys, food
and attention)
Once we know what they are motivated for, we can use it
as reinforcement.
37. Reinforcement/ Punishment
Reinforcement: A change in the environment that immediately follows a
behavior so it maintains or increase the frequency of that behavior.
Punishment: A change in the environment that immediately follows a
behavior so it eliminates or decrease the frequency of that behavior.
38. Prompting
sd-R-c
Prompts usually go hand-in-hand (we usually give about 3 seconds to respond
before intervening with a prompt)
We use prompts when teaching new skills.
Prompts are used to let the student provide a desired response.
Fading is gradually reducing the prompt.
40. True or false?
A special approach that works only on ‘autism’?
Dog training?
Robot programming?
Therapy?
