How to Avoid "Negative Reinforcement": Tips for Parents of Children with ASD

Image
Negative reinforcement requires the child to work for the removal of an in-place, unpleasant consequence. The child's goal is to get rid of something that is unpleasant rather than to earn something that is desirable. In a negative reinforcement model, instead of working to earn a positive consequence, the child works to distance himself from an aversive consequence. Negative reinforcement is often used by parents to manage problem behaviors in their child with ASD level 1 or High-Functioning Autism. Teachers inadvertently pay attention to the child who may not be complying and withdraw their attention contingent on the child's compliance. Surprisingly, this strengthens rather than weakens the noncompliant behavior. The next time a similar situation occurs, the child again will not comply until confronted with the aversive consequence (i.e. the parent’s attention). Negative reinforcement is often seductive and coercive for moms and dads. It works in the short run, but...

Why You Should Buy CBD Pastes and Concentrates

 CBD pastes and concentrates are considered to be the strongest CBD oil products you can find on the market. These products are usually hemp oil, meaning they have a higher concentration of CBD than most of the other ingredients. You can usually find CBD pastes and concentrate packed in a tube and they can give value for your money. This page discusses why you should buy CBD pastes and concentrates. The benefits of CBD pastes and concentrates: It’s easy to use CBD pastes and concentrates because you just need to squeeze a small portion which is about a grain-of-rice size and place it onto your tongue to swish for almost 90 seconds before swallowing.

10 Healthy Supplements to Consider for Autism

Image
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or simply autism is a condition that affects the way a person’s brain functions. It also impacts the social interaction, language, and basic communication of the affected person. Children with autism may involve repetitive behaviors.  Although there is no curable remedy for autism, the treatment is based on the individual that may involve helping the patient through their symptoms with education, self-help, skill development and socialization. Children and adults who are affected with autism may develop limited food intake or choices. Since their bodies may break down fat differently it is possible that their bodies may lack certain nutrients. This is related to selective eating, decreased gut absorption, or depletion of nutrients from chronic stress. Hence, diet changes and supplementation have proved to be very helpful methods of aiding children with autism. With enhanced food choices, you can help your autistic child better manage the daily strugg...
