This pilot study undertaken by a CAMHS Mental Health practitioner sought to address this difficulty by offering home-based CAMHS services based on principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). A small sample of five young people aged from 12 to 16 years with social and communication difficulties who were on the waiting list for an autism assessment or had a diagnosis of autism, were recruited. The findings are very positive and encouraging and showed that all five increased their contact hours, felt the sessions were valuable and took part in both online and face to face meetings. A case study is presented on one of the young people. All the young people became involved and happier with their education plans. The first author plans to do a larger study to ascertain whether the findings can be replicated.

Using preference assessments to identify motivators for a child on the autism spectrum with severe learning disabilities / Freddy JACKSON-BROWN in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 10-1 (May 2009)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 10-1 (May 2009) . - p.64-67 Titre : Using preference assessments to identify motivators for a child on the autism spectrum with severe learning disabilities Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Freddy JACKSON-BROWN, Auteur ; Rachel IRWIN, Auteur ; Louise COPP, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.64-67 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Freddy Jackson Brown is a Clinical Psychologist and Rachel Irwin and Louise Copp are Assistant Psychologists. In this paper, a preference assessment for different food items was conducted with a six year old boy on the autism spectrum with severe learning disabilities. An ABAB reversal design was used to evaluate the reinforcing effect of high and low preference items over an 8-week period. In line with other research, findings showed that high preference items remained stable over time and had greater reinforcing effects than low preference food items. The implications of using food as a reinforcer are discussed. The authors highlight the importance of identifying appropriate, highly motivating reinforcers. The use of preference assessments emphasises the need to begin with items, often food, that individuais find motivating. t illustrates the possibility of moving from tangible reinforcers to social reinforcers over time. The paper also highlights the positive effects on behaviour, emotional responses and task completion when individuals are offered items they perceive as truly motivating.
