Why do children always learn not to wait? Why do children not know how to arrange their own affairs? What is the problem?
Autism is a representative disease of pervasive developmental disorder. Such children are often accompanied by problems such as inattention, emotional problems and poor physical coordination. After in-depth study of the problem, we found that these symptoms are caused by the weak self-management and control ability of star children.
Self-management can be seen as a process of achieving goals through self-discipline and self-motivation. Specifically, it is the individual's management of his own, goals, thoughts, psychology and behavior.
In order to help autistic people have the ability to study, work and live independently in adulthood, experts put forward self-management strategies from the cognitive behavior.
Autism self-management is mainly embodied in three aspects: self-care, self-control and communication and cooperation. Among them, the focus of self-control lies in being able to control one's own behavior, rather than relying on external forces (instructors).
Autism patients can use the above three aspects to change themselves or maintain certain behaviors, and they can also manage their behaviors for a long time without external intervention.
The results also confirm that children with mild autism or children with severe autism have good effects after adopting appropriate self-management strategies.
Autistic people sometimes face many difficulties in self-care. For example, they can't reasonably handle their own needs and relationships with others, which often leads to their own goals through inappropriate emotional and behavioral patterns.
Self-management is an effective way to improve autistic children's attention, cultivate their independence and improve their learning ability and interpersonal skills. Of course, it is more important to be aware of your behavior and make plans to reduce the demand for adult help from autistic patients. Helping star children improve their self-management ability can help autistic people improve their ability to integrate into the collective and adapt to society.
Many times, parents have made many plans and goals for their children, but after a day of teaching, they are exhausted, mainly because children don't know how to manage themselves.
How to help star children learn self-management, let them arrange their own affairs and enhance their independence? If you are also confused about your child's "unable to execute the plan", try these methods!
0 1, make a plan
Making plans can make children aware of the concept of time and cultivate the habit of doing things regularly, which can not only simplify daily life, but also help autistic people reduce their sense of confusion.
02, visual cues
Most people with autism have more visual ability to get information than hearing. Visual cues mainly use cards, tables and flowcharts to let children know what to do next and make them more motivated to do things. The results show that the application of visual support strategy can effectively reduce the waiting time of autistic patients and improve their initiative and independence in waiting.
03. Conduct self-assessment.
For example, Xiao Nan likes hitting people. After communicating with Xiao Nan, his parents made Xiao Nan a plaid notebook to record his good behavior.
Within the specified time (the set time is not too long, it can be five seconds, ten seconds, etc. And the time will slowly extend after the child is familiar with the rules. If Xiao Nan doesn't hit people, he will put a tick in the box and collect five ticks, so Xiao Nan can get the reinforcement he wants (reinforcement can communicate with the child in advance). After making the rules, tell your child, "Now you can do what you like." . After five seconds in a row, Xiao Nan did what she liked, but there was no bad behavior in the whole process. Xiao Nan could check the box to get reinforcement. Throughout the process, checking a box is like conducting a self-assessment.
Three points for attention in self-management:
1. Make sure these reinforcements are "meaningful" to Xinghai.
2. During the period of self-management, parents should minimize the number of reminders.
3. Make management according to the children's own situation.
Knowing and using self-management strategies can not only cultivate autistic children's ability to complete their learning tasks in an organized and orderly manner, but also improve their initiative and independence in learning, so that star children can change from passive learning to active learning, from "asking me to learn" to "I want to learn" and "I can learn", thus achieving the goal of autonomous learning.
In addition, it can effectively improve the social communication ability of autistic patients, so that our children can show their advantages and be independent of society in the future.
