Two communication approaches for children with Autism: Intensive Interaction and the Attention Bucket. On Friday I attended a conference: “Intensive Interaction and Play Techniques: encouraging Communication for Children with Autism”.
I came back inspired — I can’t wait to try out the ideas! Here’s a summary of two of the presentations. Intensive Interaction The keynote presentation was given by Dave Hewett, who, along with Melanie Nind, developed the Intensive Interaction approach. He pitched his talk at just the right level — making great use of video clips, the talk was both clear and fun.
Dave talked about the fundamentals of communication, such as enjoying being with another person, taking turns in exchanges of behaviour, and using and understanding eye contact. Dave & co started working on Intensive Interaction because they felt the existing curriculum was inadequate — this was in the 1980s. Dave’s visualisation of communication learning and performance showed how complicated the process is. Again, this seems obvious to me. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Autism Spectrum Disorders. Many behavioral therapies have been used to treat young children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), including Applied Behavior Analysis and Pivotal Response Training.
Older children, teens, and adults with ASD may benefit from another intervention with a behavioral component: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Beyond behavior Therapies based on the science of behavior have been effective for people of all ages, and are an essential item in any mental health professional’s toolkit. They only go so far, however. Human beings are “meaning makers.”
Autism consumer 1. Two communication approaches for children with Autism: Intensive Interaction and the Attention Bucket. Attention Autism stage 1: attention bucket video and comments from creator Gina Davies - ASD Teacher. After I completed the Attention Autism training last year, adopting the approach in my class has made a HUGE impact on the children’s attention and interaction levels, the staff teams skills in working as a group, and most importantly, it has been a whole lot of fun for everyone!
Attention Autism is a highly motivating and creative approach to building attention and early communication skills and I highly recommend any parent, carer, family member or anyone working with children with autism, to learn more about Attention Autism. ‘Attention Autism’ was developed by specialist speech and language therapist, Gina Davies. The approach is based on: The Attention Autism activity structure is divided into 4 parts: Stage 1: Attention bucket The aims of the bucket session are to: Focus attention on the leading adult and their agendaEngage attention with enthusiasmEnjoy the session!
