Evidence Based Practices Of Leo Kanner
1. Leo Kanner was the first to identify autism as a distinct neurological condition. He studied eleven children ages three years to eleven years who were not fitting into other childhood diagnosis. They had one major thing in common, they wanted to be alone. He used the word auto to describe them because they wanted to be left alone. This is where the word autism derived from. Kanner blamed parents. Stating that they were not the most loving and caring of parents. He noticed that they had good cognitive potential and intelligence and overall “normal”.
2. Evidence based practices are important because they have been “clearly grounded in scientific research”. (Wheeler, Mayton, Carter, 2015, p. 10). These practices are researched, documented,
and scientifically based. Evidence based practices Evidence based practices protect us legally because these practices are backed by evidence. Evidence based practices fall into one of the four categories; behavior, naturalistic, developmental, and hybrid. Applied behavior analysis is one common evidence based approach that is used. ABA would use a verbal command. A positive reinforcement would result from the child’s desired behavior, while no reaction would be the result for incorrect response. Naturalistic approach takes an opposite approach to the applied behavior analysis. This approach uses naturally occurring teaching moments. Naturalistic approaches take the student’s behavior and links it toward a natural reinforcement. An example of this is if the child puts on his coat, he can go outside. A third evidence based practice is developmental approaches. One of the more used development approach is Floortime. Floortime has three components to help children master six developmental capacities. The fourth category for evidence based practices are multicomponent or hybrid approaches. TEACCH is one of the longest practiced models in working with students with ADS.
