She is part of a team responsible for taking care of the health needs of the inmates. This study was prompted when she found five prisoners with an autism spectrum diagnosis within a six-month period, four having Asperger syndrome and one with autism. Two appeared to require little in the way of support, but three really struggled to cope with daily life in the prison. It is likely that there were several others in the prison who were not diagnosed or who did net disclose their diagnosis. Paula therefore set out to explore the knowledge and understanding that prison staff had about the autism spectrum.

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.

GROW a programme to enable transitioning to community living / Pamela WENER in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 10-1 (May 2009)

In this paper, they argue that whilst there is a great need for well-planned transition programmes, research suggests that few such programmes exist. In particular, descriptions of programmes using a person-centred or family centred approach are rarely seen in the literature. Their paper describes the conception, development and implementation phases of the Gaining Resources Our Way (GROW) programme which is a two-week, residential, life skills programme for young adults with developmental and cognitive disorders who are beginning to prepare for the transition to the community. This uses a combination of person-centred and family-centred approaches. Numerous stakeholders and much volunteer time were critical to the realisation of the programme. They conclude that with vision, partnership and collaboration, innovative programming such as, Gaining Resources Our Way, can fill a gap in services available to young adults. For readers in the UK and elsewhere, it will be of interest to consider whether such a model might be translated into other contexts outside of Canada.
