7180EDN Assessment 2
Please address the four topics below with a reflective response of approximately 600-700 words for each question. Responses will need to be supported with quality research and references. A minimum of 5 references is expected per topic.
1. The use of quality assessments can be very important for individuals with ASD for a variety of
reasons including diagnosis, determination of strengths and needs, and evaluation of programs. Please define and list some formal and informal assessments commonly used and discuss the reasons these assessments would be used as well as factors to consider in their use with individuals with ASD.
2. One of the main themes of the Autism Studies program is the need to consider perspectives of individuals with ASD and the issues that have been identified by families of individuals with ASD. Discuss the research on promoting self-determination of individuals with ASD across the lifespan and factors that have been identified as necessary for effective collaboration with families including those from different cultural backgrounds.
3. Being knowledgeable about the evidence-based practices for outcomes for persons with ASD is considered extremely important. Explain why this is important and identify factors to consider when selecting an intervention. Discuss different classification levels used to describe the effectiveness of treatment programs and interventions and include an example of an intervention for each classification level.
4. ABA is an extremely well researched evidence-based practice for individuals with ASD. Discuss the theoretical framework and principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis and the evidence base for its use in achieving outcomes with persons with Autism Spectrum Disorder including some leading approaches that are based on the principles of ABA.
