Teaching Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Various Methods to Advocate for Themselves and Cope across a Variety of Difficult Situations belongs in serious BCBA study because it shapes whether behavior-analytic decisions stay useful once they leave a clean training example and enter caregiver coaching, home routines, team meetings, and values-sensitive decision making. For this course, the practical stakes show up in better alignment between intervention and the family context in which it must survive, not in abstract discussion alone.

These can include examples like losing a phone, finding themselves in challenging social situations, and becoming separated from a caregiver. In these moments, it's important to possess a repertoire of skills to utilize during these inevitable situations. The three presentations today focus on teaching three different individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder the ability to both advocate and navigate their social environment in order to best traverse difficult situations. The first paper in this presentation involves teaching a young child to identify and appropriately react to situations in which they may be bullied at school. The second paper in this presentation involves teaching a teenager the ability to advocate for herself using a fixed-time schedule. The final paper focuses on teaching ability to present multiple word phrases to individuals in his environment as a means of mitigating challenging scenarios.
