Applied Behavior Analysis and Autism

Paper Summary:

This paper introduces, summarizes, and reviews Jennifer Symon's article, "Parent Education for Autism: Issues in Providing Services at a Distance." More specifically, the paper briefly summarizes and explains Symon's approach, which argues argues in favor of improved support services for families at a distance similar to those tested locally that focus on an applied behavior approach to addressing behavioral problems associated with autistic patients.

From the Paper:

"Symon suggests that at the individual level individual intervention programs might be helpful, while resiliency factors introduced at both the individual and family level may help families cope. Symon takes great care to document some of the typical familial barriers to obtaining effective support services for children with autism. In addition the author notes that a lack of effective resources currently exist, due in part to negative staff attitudes and practices."
