Simple Steps Autism
Many families struggle daily with the reality of living with autism. For many interventions are either expensive or simply not available at all (this has a ring of truth about it).
Now an innovative Irish company are offering a suite of on-line tools to help families with the challenges and opportunities that Autism presents. Called Simple Steps Autism the company provides a suites of on-line tools and training based on Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA). They say
Each child is different and the scientific methods used in Applied Behaviour Analysis allow us to maximise each child’s potential by allowing us to assess the effectiveness of how we teach and what we teach…
Applied Behaviour Analysis is NOT a therapy for autism. It is the applied branch of a science called Behaviour Analysis. This is an extremely important starting point because often you will find that education and health authorities are not familiar with Applied Behaviour Analysis and they describe it as, simply, one of a number of therapies for autism. This would be like saying Medical Science is only one of a number of treatments for illnesses.
The program is available as an on-line tool or it can be purchased as a DVD home training pack if you have limited Internet access. Both are €79; but we have a €10 discount code for members. If you’d like to purchase the program then please email me for the code before purchasing.
I haven’t tried the program so this is not an endorsement or review. If you’d like more information then there’s lots or material, videos etc on their website. If you’ve already purchased this and would like to write a review then please contact us.
