Although the incidence of autism is increasing year by year, there are still many people and even parents of autistic children who have many misunderstandings about autism.
Unlike many diseases that people have daily contact with, no two children with autism have the exact same symptoms, and their performance varies greatly. In order to better help these children, we will continue to learn together!
Doctor Cui Yonghua believes that in autism rehabilitation training, some children with poor abilities before entering the institution can sometimes make non-speed progress, while some children with good foundation may also make slow progress. There are never two autistic children in the world who are exactly the same. There are too many uncertain factors in the recovery of autistic children .
No matter how old a child is, it has training value and cannot give up hope easily; training must focus on the key points, be carried out scientifically under the guidance of professionals, and must be persistent in .
There are children with autism at home, parents must know the following points:
1. So far, the most effective way to treat autism is perseverance and scientific rehabilitation training . Apart from this, there is no good idea.
2. When training, you must grasp the core target of autism . Parents must know that in the process of using methods, they should not confuse the means and goals, and should not be too careful about the effects of the training form, and ignore the meaning and goals behind the training.
3. Most training for autism needs to be accompanied by lifelong . Many parents think that the intervention training for autism is phased, thinking that the child will recover after half a year, one or two years of treatment and can go to normal schools. The real situation is that autism does not recover from treatment like other diseases. Once a patient is diagnosed with autism, the intervention of it will be accompanied by lifelong. It’s just that individual factors are different, there will be differences in the intensity of the intervention, and it is definitely not a worry-free way after a phased intervention.
4. Autism training requires to be performed anytime, anywhere. Many parents do not realize that intervention training needs to be carried out anytime and anywhere, and require absolute patience and perseverance. Parents think that only in institutions and schools, when facing teachers, they can educate them without training after being brought home, and they can relax. This view is very wrong! The best teacher to train children is the child’s parents. The correct way is to start training when you wake up. No matter who faces your child, you must adopt scientific methods to train. Education for children must be carried out at all times, anytime, anywhere.
5. The earlier the training for autism, the better, but there is no "latest" and it has the value of training for life . We should seize the time before the age of 6. Children of this age are very malleable. As long as the method is right, children will make great progress.
6. The ultimate goal of all autism training is to have the social function of survival . To allow children to enter school, they can learn a lot of things that they cannot learn at home at school, such as: collective concept, enterprising spirit, independence ability, self-protection, discipline compliance, etc. We must let our children receive vocational training as much as possible and integrate into society, cultivate their ability to work, and let them have skills so that they can integrate into normal people.
Suggestions for parents
▋ Turn training into a game
teach these children to consciously interact with people, and first make them interested in communication. A better method is to learn to imitate the gestures, movements, language, expressions, ways of expressing and responding to each other, and skills of communicating with relatives for a long time. In this long process, it is best to combine the content of daily life with training, turn boring training into interesting games, and gradually make children feel that this is a very fun activity, and then become interested in parents, that is, "people". At the same time, take the child out of the house and look around; help him find his friends and expand his life scope, which is very beneficial for the child to develop a desire to date.
▋ Talk to your children all the time
Most children with autism have a delay in language development, and learning to speak has become a problem. Language training can be carried out in stages.During the preparation stage, teach children to imitate their parents' oral movements, let them know how to follow instructions and understand the meaning of certain movements. The next step is to "sending a single sound" training. The more effective method is to combine it with the child's life, learn some vocabulary with the help of the children's favorite food and toys, cultivate the child's gaze and the eye contact with the parents, so that it can imitate the lip pronunciation of parents. If the pronunciation is inaccurate, you don’t need to be deliberately corrected in a short period of time.
When the monophonic word is better, you can start to teach him the bisyllable words and penetrate cognition into it. With these "preparations", they will do simple Q&A training to let him learn to express his needs and communicate.
▋ Capture their excitement points
Most autistic children are self-enclosed, rejecting anything new or new changes, lacking initiative, but are very persistent in things they are interested in. Therefore, you should be good at discovering and capturing the excitement points of your child and giving various information stimulation to things that are interested in. For example, if a child likes to play with water repeatedly, he might as well prepare hot water, cold water, and warm water for him to perceive it carefully; understand the shape of different water; experience the change in the size of the water flow, and perceive the capacity, etc.
uses this as a breakthrough to convey other information that can be seen everywhere in life to children in a timely manner, and use various information to stimulate and destroy some of their stereotyped behavior patterns. In addition, appropriately doing some sensory integration training for children, such as climbing, swinging, walking balance beam , and jumping rope also has certain benefits to improving their slow response and incoordination of movements.
should remind parents that if the child has not been diagnosed with autism, instead of seeking medical treatment everywhere, it is better not to characterize the child and treat them as normal children, and at the same time lower their standards and guide them in a normal direction. If the child is diagnosed with autism, he should also be rational and not forcefully change the child's bad behavior. Otherwise, not only will the condition not improve, but it may also increase the child's abnormal temper and even stop cooperating with training. These are not conducive to recovery.
