Developed by a grant used to help fund for individuals with disabilities to allow individuals to remain in their homes and the community 2012: changed name to My Time Providers Funded annually by OPWDD through FLDDSO

6 Normal Growth Development
Why did we learn about normal growth and development? To help determine when there is abnormal development By observing growth we can see growth and report any concerns if needed Remember – every child develops at their own pace and no two children are exactly the same

7 FOUR MAIN AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT
Cognitive: the way we think Social and Emotional: the way we make relationships with others Communication: the way we communicate, both verbal and non-verbal Motor: the way we move around

8 DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
Definition: Occurs before the age of 22 Continues indefinitely Severe and long lasting Result from a mental/physical impairment or both Limitations in at least three of the following: Self care Self direction Economic self-sufficiency Independent living Learning Receptive and expressive language Mobility

9 INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES
Limits an individual’s ability to learn at an expected level and function in daily living Caused by: injury, disease, problem in brain development Occurs before age 18 Intelligent Quotient (I.Q.) – 75 or below Limits adaptive behavior

10 AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER (ASD)
Definition: A complex developmental disability that can cause significant behavioral, communicational, and social issues. Autism Asperger’s Syndrome Rett’s Syndrome Childhood Disintegrative Disorder Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS)

11 FACTS ABOUT ASD Most difficult disability to define, diagnosis, and treat 1 out of 68 children are diagnosed Affects males 4-5 times more than females Unknown cause: more than one single cause Video

12 COMMUNICATION CHARACTERISTICS
Uses behavior to express feelings Lack of delay of speech Echolalia: repeats words or sounds Atypical tone of voice Does not run in direction when spoken to Displays narrow range of emotions

13 BEHAVIORAL CHARACTERISTICS
May use toys in an odd manor May seem to be unable to play Repetitive behaviors Attached to inanimate objects May seem hearing impaired

14 SOCIAL CHARACTERISTICS
Lack understanding of social cues Avoids eye contact Lack of pretend play Prefer to play in solidarity

15 SENSORY INTEGRATION Over-responsive Under-responsive
Respond to touch with aggression or withdrawal Fear of movement Uncomfortable in loud environments Picky eater Under-responsive Hyperactive, seeking additional sensory Unaware of pain or may touch others too hard Engage in dangerous activities Enjoy loud sounds Video

16 ANXIETY Need = Routine Do not like sudden changes
May take longer to adjust to transitions

17 COMMUNICATING WITH INDIVIDUALS WITH ASD
Observe their communication style(s) Use simple language Be patient; allow time from processing Provide visuals (if needed) Be consistent Be creative Be flexible

18 COMMUNICATION Definition: Expressive Language = how we use
The way an individual conveys their feelings, ideas, needs, and desires to another individual or group of individuals. Expressive Language = how we use Avoid assuming what individual wants Encourage repetition Prompt Receptive Language = how we understand Use what is familiar Repeat Talk through schedule

19 COMMUNICATION… CONT’D
Pragmatic Language = social aspect of communication. Allow for processing time for individual to respond Non-verbal Language = everything but words Okay if no eye contact Respect personal space, if needed

20 TIPS TO REMEMBER Include individual in conversation
Explain procedures in simple words Repeat if needed Describe procedures first, then guide Ask affirmative rather than negative questions Speak slow and clearly Allow for processing time

21 BEHAVIOR What is the definition of behavior ?
Simply, it is the way we act Behaviors are observable Behavior Management Definition: How we respond to the behavior of the individual and the effect that our response has on the individual’s behavior

22 POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT
Clear understanding of what is expected Praise for positive behavior Hug High five Words of encouragement Stickers Model desired behavior

23 MINIMIZING INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR
