註釋
Outcomes in adulthood for individuals with autism spectrum and related disorders are overall poor when it comes to independent living, employment, personal relationships, integration into the community, and other measures that greatly contribute to quality of life. Despite large, dedicated fields of practitioners committed to serving these individuals, adult outcomes have remained poor for decades. This is largely in part to the relatively little education and training provided to practitioners when it comes to what skills to teach and how in order to positively contribute to a meaningful adult life. While many skills-based assessments and curricula exist already, Make it Meaningful is intended to fill the void that exists for information guiding practitioners to create individualized programming to ensure each learner maximizes their instructional time to adequately prepare them for the rest of their lives. Key features of this book include:-Overall guidance in choosing what skills to teach and the value of adaptive behavior domains -Direction on writing goals with long-term considerations as well as specifically individualizing each learner's curricular path-A review of how applied behavior analysis (ABA) and other specific teaching considerations should be used to provide instruction on meaningful skills, particularly for older learners -Evidence-based methods for teaching important community-based and employment skills-Practical processes to guide the development of goals of both quality and sound structure-Systems to ensure quality and guide leadership of meaningful programs-Specific elements to guide practice include...P12 unique tools to guide program developmentP8 templated, customizable forms/datasheetsP11 visual job aids to influence performanceThe goal of Make it Meaningful is to help ensure that individuals with autism spectrum and related disorders have a meaningful life in adulthood by ensuring practitioners teach them the right skills, the right way, in the right environments.
