A systematic review of the impact of precision teaching and fluency-building on teaching children diagnosed with autism
How ‘Fake News’ Affects Autism Policy
Since autism was first recognised, prevalence has increased rapidly. The growing economic as well as social cost to families and society can only be mitigated by effective interventions and supports. It is, therefore, not surprising that there is much heated debate and most governments have developed public policies to address the management of autism. This paper describes how well-known ‘propaganda’ techniques, that have become prevalent in the …

Staff Training in Autism: The One-Eyed Wo/Man
Having well-trained staff is key to ensuring good quality autism services, especially since people affected with autism generally tend to have higher support needs than other populations in terms of daily living, as well as their mental and physical health. Poorly-trained staff can have detrimental effects on service provision and staff morale and can lead to staff burn-out, as well as increased service user anxiety and stress. This paper reports…

Eltern als Therapeuten von Kindern mit Autismus-Spektrum-Störungen: Selbständigkeit fördern mit Applied Behaviour Analysis
Der Einsatz der im angloamerikanischen Raum als eigenständige psychologische Disziplin etablierten Verhaltensanalyse oder "Behaviour Analysis" ermöglicht große Fortschritte in Kommunikation, Entwicklung und Selbständigkeit für Menschen mit Autismus-Spektrum-Störungen. Das Werk führt in störungsbezogene lernpsychologische Grundprinzipien ein, schildert die Einführung von entsprechenden Therapieprogrammen in Nordirland über die Initiative PEAT (Par…
Children drawing their own conclusions: Children’s perceptions of a “postconflict” society
In societies emerging from conflict/war, sustained occurrence of violence appears to be a common feature.In Northern Ireland, while incidents of violent deaths and injuries specifically related to the political conflict have decreased dramatically since 1998, regular riots and paramilitary activity confirm continuing division and conflict.The study described here explored children's perceptions of their own lives and their predecessors' lives in …
Years Is An Awful Long Time: Parents Caring For Adult Sons and Daughters With Disabilities
Long-Term Effects of Political Violence: Narrative Inquiry Across a 20-Year Period
The study of long-term effects of political violence generally concentrates on effects of a single event or period of violence on individuals or groups of individuals and commonly relies on recollections from those who experienced violence a long time after the event. Against the backdrop of Northern Ireland's Troubles, in this article we use narrative inquiry methodology to explore the long-term effects of violence across a 20-year period on a d…
Evidence-Based Practice: An Exploration of the Effectiveness of Voluntary Sector Services for Victims of Community Violence
While there is some debate about what should be considered submissible evidence, there is no doubt that evidence-based practice has become accepted as a benchmark for service delivery in almost all areas of social work. This is not yet the case in the voluntary sector. Yet, social workers and service users rely heavily on voluntary sector services. In this paper, the effectiveness of voluntary sector services for victims of community violence is …
Bereavement: A D.I.S.C. Analysis
The Development of a High-Intensity Parent Training Program for the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Child Conduct Problems
Objective A home-based parent training program for the treatment of moderate to severe conduct problems was developed in two stages. Method Study 1, a case study, examined the inverse covariation between child compliance to parental instruction and aversive responding. Study 2, which used a multiple-baseline-across-subjects experimental design with two families, examined the effectiveness of a multicomponent treatment strategy for the reduction o…
Outline for the Development of a Screening Procedure for Children who Have Been Sexually Abused
Objective Child sex abuse has become an increasingly well-researched phenomenon. Issues addressed include preconditions of abuse, short-term and long-term effects on the child, therapeutic interventions to help overcome the effects of abuse, and treatment of perpetrators. However, lack of reliable and nonintrusive detection and disclosure techniques remains a main obstacle for obtaining exact data regarding prevalence of child sex abuse, initiati…
Images of Behavior Analysis: The Shaping Game and the Behavioral Stream
Accuracy of Disclosure and Contextual Control in Child Abuse: Developing Procedures within the Stimulus Equivalence Paradigm
Training in Behavioral Social Work: A Pilot Study
Social work practice has recently become much criticized. Misapplication of procedures and ill-defined theoretical approaches have led to a view of social work as a semiprofession. A thorough theoretical and procedural revision is necessary. In this article, we will argue that a natural science approach to human behavior, such as that offered by behavior analysis, constitutes a fundamental basis for effective and accountable social work practice.…
Communicating with children: The use of art in social work
Art as a means of communicating with children is often undervalued and its use in therapy remains vaguely understood; it urgently needs demystifying. This paper describes what art therapy is about and shows how in a wide range of situations it can be of help to workers and their clients even without elaborate training and resources
Mummy don't leave me!’ the management of brief separation
Joe, who was aged three and a half and his mother arrived at the playschool door. ‘Bye Joey,’ she said, ‘I'll see you after playschool’. ‘Bye mom’, said Joe as he turned around and went to play with the other children
