Task Analysis & Chaining - Kansas City Behavior Analysts Sometimes entire task presentation is overwhelming. Think of preparing a 5 course meal for a crowd of 200, building a car engine or completing a physics problem. Yikes! Oftentimes, our kids also feel overwhelmed completing tasks that feel extreme to them, too. Task Analysis = a list of written out steps that contain all of the components necessary to complete the task. When writing a task analysis, we try to break the skill down into very specific steps, to create manageable steps. Chaining = a set of teaching procedures used to teach a task analysis. When using chaining, we teach skills in 1 of 3 ways until the entire sequence of a task analysis is mastered. Forward chaining: Using this type of teaching procedure, the first step is taught first, and then the second step, the third step and continues until the entire sequence is able to be performed independently. Total task presentation: This is actually a type of forward chaining procedure. 1) Find remote 3) Press channel 3 4) Walk to Wii

When our daughter was little and we went to a restaurant, Bill would take her out to run up and down the sidewalk while I paid the bill so she wouldn’t start squirming at the table. Bill has talked for years about finding a way to create a heavy blanket that would calm his and our daughter’s restless muscles. Like me, our daughter is frequently restless and, at the end of the day, often asks for a heavy quilt on her legs or for a deep-muscle massage. Little did I know that weighted blankets and vests are in widespread use as therapeutic devices for children and adults with sensory conditions including ADD and autism. You should ask your doctor or physical therapist whether to use a weighted blanket, and if so what the best weight is. The general rule of thumb to determine an appropriate weight for a blanket is 1/10th the child’s body weight plus 1 pound. You can make your blanket any size and weight you want. Like this:

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a branch of psychology that effects socially significant behavior change; that is to say that behavior analysts deal with behaviors that are of concern to the individual or his community. Applied Behavior Analysis is a science, and utilizes data collection and scientific analysis to determine treatment design and efficacy. For more information, click here What are the applications of ABA? Because ABA is based on the scientific understanding of human behavior, ABA is applicable anywhere people are doing things! Why "behavior guy"? Although I prefer the title "behavior analyst", after years of being introduced as "the behavior guy" by parents, teachers, and staff -- I decided to go with it!
Homeschooling Gifted Kids - Our Journey Westward Homeschooling gifted kids isn’t impossible. In fact, it might be one of the best things you could ever do for your child! And…you CAN do it! On this page, I’ve gathered my material about schooling gifted kids from around the web for your convenience. Gifted Homeschooling Posts Gifted children often love to read, need to learn in unique ways and, ahem, often need a little more character training than your average Joe. Join Me at the Homeschooling Gifted Hangout What’s Pinteresting for Homeschooling Gifted Kids? Cindy The Wrightslaw Way — to Special Education Law and Advocacy One of the most controversial posts we’ve published on the Wrightslaw Way Blog was “Do You Know Who is Providing Your Child’s Speech-Language Therapy?” (Part 1) If you thought we questioned SLPAs, their abilities, and qualifications, not so. But, there are areas of concern for parents. If your child is receiving speech-language services, make sure you know if a trained, certified, or licensed individual is providing your child’s speech therapy. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is very clear about expectations for speech-language pathology assistants (SLPAs), what they can and what they cannot do. Appropriate use and supervision of trained SLPAs can fill the gap often caused by a shortage of speech-language pathologists (SLPs). Issues to consider: 1.
