Extension summary

As humans we always express what we need. With expressions one can explain himself/herself in a better way. Children with autism spectrum disorders usually don’t understand how to express themselves in different situations. To address this developmental issue, we has brought an app called What's the Expression - Lite to help child with special needs learn different expressions such as happiness, sadness, anger, and surprise.

** About ABA **

As we know, the recommendation of 40 hours per week of ABA programming as employed by Lovaas’s study has been cited by many parents as being vital to their child’s success. The National Research Council’s 2001 report (p. 184) summarizes the skills necessary for implementing an effective ABA program as:

“Teachers must be familiar with theory and research concerning best practices for children with autistic spectrum disorders, including methods of applied behavior analysis, naturalistic learning, incidental teaching, assistive technology, socialization, communication, inclusion, adaptation of the environment, language interventions, assessment, and the effective use of data collection systems. Specific problems in generalization and maintenance of behaviors also affect the need for training in methods of teaching children with autistic spectrum disorders. The wide range of IQ scores and verbal skills associated with autistic spectrum disorders, from profound mental retardation and severe language impairments to superior intelligence make the need for training of personnel even greater.”

User reviews

This extension advocates for ABA. ABA is shock therapy, plain and simple. Sickening that this is one of the first extensions that popped up when I searched for autism accessibility extensions.
