Scientific intervention skills training, full of information
Autism is a group of developmental disorders that start from early development in children, mainly characterized by social communication disorders, communication disorders, , narrow range of interests and repetitive stereotyped behaviors. According to the report of Beijing Normal University China Charity Research Institute and Beijing Xingyu Education Research Institute, parents of autistic patients have extremely urgent needs for social security and assistance, among which rehabilitation and relief is the social security demand that parents most desire.
This event invited the chief physician and discipline leader of the Children's Development Behavior Center of Zhongshan Third Hospital Zou Xiaobing , Master of Linguistics and International Certified Applied Behavior Analyst Lu Yanfen, senior tutors engaged in the education of children with developmental disabilities, including children's growth and development characteristics, practical skills at home intervention, and improvement of children's concentration. At the same time, online participation channels were opened, allowing parents of autistic children from Dongguan to understand the latest autism research direction, learn the latest intervention methods and how to correctly understand the current intervention effect, and a lot of "dry information" brings them real help.
"I think family intervention is a very important part of the treatment of autism. Parents can design social games based on their children's interests and abilities, and help their children recover better through one-to-one, face-to-face, happy and intensive interactive activities and games." Zou Xiaobing said that from the experience of the 80,000 cases received by the team, many children can improve their symptoms through good intervention, so that they can gradually integrate into an increasingly inclusive society.
Xi Xi, who was diagnosed with autism only last year, had no language communication or eye contact with others at first. After some small games searched by her parents and sister on the Internet, she tried to implement basic home intervention, and she improved to a certain extent. Xi Xi's mother said, "Today I came to the Cultural Center to participate in this skill training class. I felt that I benefited a lot from hearing the sharing of Professor Zou and Teacher Fan. I learned some very practical small skills. I hope to have more such skill training classes in the future so that we can learn more tips."
Yunfeng, who usually lives near Dongcheng, has been receiving professional rehabilitation treatment for a year, and now it has significantly improved its cognitive ability and language communication ability. Yunfeng's parents said that they hoped that he would continue to make progress and communicate more with other children. They were very grateful to the event organized by the Dongguan Star Alliance. "Today's training is very good, allowing us to learn a lot of home intervention skills, learn how to communicate with children and understand their real needs, and hope to continue to participate in the future."
This event is one of the "Dongguan Star Alliance" activities.

With the improvement of painting techniques, his emotional control has become better and better, and his life skills are also improving year by year. "I am still on the road to learning.

According to their instructors, through painting experiences such as tearing stickers and watercolors, they all feel happiness and beauty from it, and also learn to express their feelings through their works.
