    One common misconception that people have about children with autism or developmental delays is that if you expose them to typically developing peers, they will naturally gain play and social skills. This kind of idea might lead a parent to put their child with autism in a preschool with the hope that that will be enough for them to learn. But actually, teaching a child with autism play and social skills involves a lot of work, and much of this work begins with teaching language skills.
    Today I want to share some resources and ideas about how to build the foundational language skills that a child with autism needs. Before you can get to the point where you teach a child about taking turns, having manners, and saying “I’m sorry”, you have to make sure you’re building on a foundation. I explain some of the basic skills, like pointing, that need to be mastered before further social skills, like sharing, can be developed.
    In today’s video you’ll learn:
    ✔️ How play skills, language skills, and social skills are all interconnected.
    ✔️ Some of the early red flags for autism, including hand-leading and lack of pointing.
    ✔️ Why early, intensive therapy can make such a difference in a child’s development.
    ✔️ Some strategies for parents and therapists to teach language, social, and play skills.

    Dr. Mary Barbera. I fell into the autism world as an autism mom in 1999 when her first-born son, Lucas, was diagnosed with autism. Since then, she became a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and best-selling author of The Verbal Behavior Approach. Since 2015, she’s created 3 autism online courses based on applied behavior analysis for professionals and "gung-ho" parents. Whether you’re looking for autism parenting strategies, working with development delays in children, or in search of autism help for professionals, I can encourage you to subscribe to the channel and join me on my journey. I’ll be providing weekly autism resources that you don’t want to miss.

    Greetings and blessings to you Mary and to you reader!
    My question is this: would the Show Box Program be usable in a bi-lingual setting too? In our Pre-school group we have mostly German speakers and I am the only English speaker. However, our bigger children now know enough English plus growing. But we do have two Late-talkers who I would love to start using the Box with. What is your experience/knowledge of this? I can imagine that as a teacher of foreign language, I could use this too to increase the vocabulary of all children? I can already imagine the curiosity the children will encounter with this box! I am excited too! Thank you a million!!

      a bit of both! I talk about this in my courses. You want to pair the table and sitting with all the things they love. Attention naturally comes when things are fun and interesting which depends on their developmental level and interests.

    • @marybarbera
      @marybarbera  3 года назад +1

      hand leading is when the child takes your hand and puts it on something they want as a way of requesting. Sometimes the child may take your hand and put it on something they need help with. Essentially they use your hand as a tool.

    Unfortunately in Illinois Medicaid does not cover ABA therapy and when you have good insurance like BCBS ABA companies charge very predatory prices like $3-600/hour and the insurance would really only cover 70% leaving you still with insane bills to pay out of pocket

    • @noeliachoque6779

      I only talk to a BCBA once a week. He teaches me what to do or what to say to my child. I also get to ask him questions. It works for us. Like you I don't have a lot of money to spend on hours of ABA. It requires a lot of commitment, time and energy from us but you will see progress.
      I encourage you to find a good BCBA who can guide you.

      There are some grants that help with the coverage of costs, even for those going through insurance. www.thrivebehavioralservices.com/grants.html
      outreachautismservicesnetwork.com/charitable-grants-for-individuals-with-autism-and-their-families/
      I believe there's some specifically that help with those who are purchasing private insurance plans which run up to $600-800 a month and help with paying those monthly costs at least. Also talk with your ABA company about payment plans; they can accommodate for families and doing it at a reasonable rate, as the cost is definitely a lot and an additional added stressor to so many families. As a provider of ABA, it saddens me that our state medicaid insurance does not cover the cost of ABA, because it's really unfortunate as there are so many kiddos and families who deserve and need intensive services.
      If you have a young kiddo (younger than 3), definitely look at Early intervention services through IL, as it's a good start and they can help with things like medical diagnostics and of course some early intervention services like speech therapy and occupational therapy, and behavior therapy (but only for behavior reduction - not skill acquisition unfortunately).
      Happy to share any other resources I come by if I do find some in the future, as this area is definitely on my future endeavors to tackle for providing services to those affected by unfair socioeconomic factors!
      Hope it helps and best wishes!

      Ultimately a child with autism needs to be engaged most of their waking hours. Usually, this is best with people who know how to engage them and teach them. If you are getting parent training and are able to play, engage and work with your child then they are likely getting many hours even if only in therapy for 8.

    Could someone explain to me why thinking differently, or just being different in general, is interpreted by neurotypicals as a "red flag"? And why eye contact is a " skill" that neurodivergent kids have to learn, when many, many autistic people have been saying over and over that it can sometimes even be *painful*. Yet neurotypicals still *require* the divergent person (regardless of age) to make eye contact anyway.

Please please stop talking and start listening to autistic adults and learn about the harm you are advocating for. What you are "teaching" is extremely harmful to autistic children and will cause years if foundational trauma for them to breakdown as an adult. Please sit back and educate yourself.
    Parents that watch this, please disregard this information. It will harm your autistic children. Please watch videos and read articles by actually autistic adults if you want to learn how to help your autistic children. Don't follow this stuff. It is incredibly harmful and can and will traumatize your children.
