NLG is pleased to offer comprehensive write-ups of our ABA teaching procedures for critical skill areas for the use of others who are teaching individuals with autism. These procedures were developed by NLG’s Clinical Staff in order to enable our students to successfully learn critical skills and demonstrate these skills functionally and in a variety of practical situations. These procedures were developed for students who had already experienced difficulty in learning the skills using traditional methods, but we also recommend using them as the starting point for all students because they are effective and the end result is a more rapid learning process without development of error patterns. As always, the programming presented should be adapted based on the needs of the individual served.
The write-ups include photographs of unique visual prompts and teaching materials, and detailed task analyses for skills with multiple steps. In addition, each write-up includes the following sections: Definition of skill, outcome of program, prerequisite skills needed, overview of teaching methodology, discussion of materials needed, specific teaching steps including generalization steps, discussion of issues that may occur and how to overcome them, and description of next steps.
