註釋
If you are the parent, teacher, or therapist of a young child with Down syndrome, you should know that applied behavior analysis (ABA), the evidence-based, gold-standard method for teaching children with autism, is an equally effective strategy for teaching children with Down syndrome! In this two-book set, the authors share the compelling research about the benefits of using ABA methods with children with Down syndrome, describe ABA principles and procedures, and provide the ABA-based curriculum they have used for nearly 20 years to successfully teach infants through kindergartners with Down syndrome. Readers will learn ABA practices for teaching children the foundational skills in motor, social-communication, cognitive, and self-care development. Once readers understand the ABA principles outlined in Book 1, it's time to use the teaching strategies! Book 2: Teaching Programs explains how to teach hundreds of essential skills using proven discrete-trial methods with prompts and reinforcement rather than the more informal ways that people typically teach children with Down syndrome. It covers: background information on how the teaching programs are structured, how to progress through them, and how to use the included planning and tracking forms; how to organize materials and yourself and work teaching into your day; general information on enhancing the learning environment and helping your child learn throughout the day; comprehensive information on teaching specific skills to children in four age groups, from infancy to kindergarten. Within each age group, skills are divided into motor, social-communication, cognitive, and self-help development, and organized into teaching programs with specific steps to teach each skill; using prompts and reinforcement to shape desired behavior and skills. The book also explains how to minimize behavior that interferes with learning such as distracting parents/teachers with attention-seeking cute behavior, escaping from demands, or tuning out; using functional behavior assessment and positive behavior support to manage behavior as the child gets older; seeking community resources and opportunities including early intervention, parent groups, inclusive recreational activities; scoping out preschool and kindergarten programs, understanding special education rights, and communicating with teachers and group leaders about ways to include your child.
