turn-based teaching method (DTTh) can also be used to train children to improve their learning abilities. Here we first introduce the application of this method in pairing ability training. Distinguishing the similarities and differences of objects is the basis of learning ability. The purpose of training autistic children with autism is to improve their ability to distinguish similarities and differences between objects and their ability to classify things. When conducting pairing ability training, autism rehabilitator must prepare some necessary supplies in advance, such as two identical cups, two identical chopsticks, two identical pictures, and physical objects and pictures with the same content, etc.
At the start of the training, the autism rehabilitator and the child sit at the table. Autism rehabilitator can put an item on the table, such as a cup. Autism rehabilitation agents must first find ways to attract the child's attention, such as saying 'Seeking it', or signaling with their hands, etc. Then hand the child an item that is the same as the object on the table, that is, a cup and send an instruction to say "put the same thing together", asking the child to place the cup on the table on the edge of the cup. To clearly define the behavior, an autism rehabilitation agent can place the cup on the table on a tray. If the child puts the cup on the hand also in the tray, the autism rehabilitation agent will praise and reward. However, when starting training, autism rehabilitation agents often need to give the child assistance, such as after issuing the "put the same thing together" command, point the tray under the cup on the table. Then, after the child understands and completes the required action, slowly fade the assistance.
After that, the autism rehabilitator can open two items on the table, such as a cup and a chopstick. The two items should be far away from each other and at the same time be at the same time. The autism rehabilitator then handed the child a chopstick and issued an instruction to say "put the same things together." At this time, the cup on the table is no longer the goal, but only plays the role of different items. If the child can put the chopsticks on his hand next to the chopsticks on the table, the autism rehabilitator will reward him. Then issue the same instructions to consolidate the child's movements. If the child cannot complete the required movements according to the instructions, the autism rehabilitator can put the chopsticks closer to the child and place the cup far away from the child's teaching; this will help the child complete the The autism rehabilitator can randomly change the order of instructions, that is, to change the chopsticks and cups, and ask the child to put the same things together, and also change the position of the items on the table, that is, put the cup on the left and the chopsticks on the right. Then, the autism rehabilitator can put the cup on the right and the chopsticks on the left. If the child cannot figure it out, the autism rehabilitator can still use the finger method to assist, and then cancel the assistance after the child figures out. However, the autism rehabilitator should be careful not to inadvertently give hints to the child, such as your eyes always Staring at items representing the correct answer, etc. After the child can skillfully pair one-to-one, the autism rehabilitator can further place two items in the child's hands at the same time and ask him to "put the same things together", thus entering two-to-two pairing training.
Use the same method, the autism rehabilitator can also train the child to pair pictures and match the real objects. At the same time, the autism rehabilitator can also gradually increase the number of pairings. When performing picture-to-picture pairing training, the autism rehabilitator can first use two sets of two exactly the same pictures to ask the child to "put the same things together". In the future, the picture with the same content but different sizes can be used for training to cultivate the child's attention to the essential attributes.When performing picture-to-physical pairing training, an autism rehabilitator can place the picture (a bowl of pictures) on the table and hand over the real thing (a bowl) to the child, and also ask him to "put the same things together." Autism rehabilitator can then gradually increase the number of pairs. Finally, this training can transition to classification training, which requires children to group things with the same content into one group. Examples in this aspect can include related items and phenomena based on color, shape, size, function, behavior and feelings, and through training, children are required to classify them.
