How to educate autistic children?

Patience. We all know that patience is the basic requirement of special education. But this is not the case in practice, many people are difficult to adhere to. To put it simply, patience includes two meanings: one is the repetition of times (the use of ABA round Education), the other is the attempt of new methods and new ideas (suit measures to local conditions, flexible and changeable). The latter is often ignored, so it is easy to fall into boredom in the process of persistence.

Encouragement. The specific operation is the use of ABA reinforcement. In addition to the mistakes of "should be strengthened or not" and "should not be strengthened or wrongly strengthened", there is one problem that is easily ignored, that is, to create opportunities for children to be strengthened. Sometimes a request is too difficult, and children are easily frustrated and give up. At this time, we need to decompose the task and reduce the difficulty. A difficult task is decomposed into ten tasks that are easy to achieve. After ten times of reinforcement and encouragement, his confidence and initiative can be formed.

Practice. Generally speaking, it's work. Classroom desktop teaching knowledge and skills, to be generalized to life, and must form a normal life. For example, some children have difficulty in counting, and they are impatient with counting on the desktop. At this time can be used in life. For example, let him help to divide the dishes, fruits and things at home. It's OK to know the one-to-one correspondence, even if you don't know how to sing numbers at first, but you can get it right (even if you need assistance). The key lies in persistence. After their children have learned how to work, many parents think that their children can do it, and they don't need to practice any more. As a result, they have to do it all over again over a period of time. This is the result of insufficient generalization.
