Using Soma's methods my son, Christopher, has not only been able to show how academically intelligent he is but he can now communicate his deeper thoughts and feelings in a way which means that others believe they are HIS words. -Sue Finnes-Mum to Christopher aged 14, Sutton Coldfield, United Kingdom.

For the first time, he was able to ask a question and also reveal to us how much he understood about his own life as well as the world around him. -Isabel and Larry Schwartz
Book Synopsis An Exploration of the Rapid Prompting Method for Students with Autism by :
Download or read book An Exploration of the Rapid Prompting Method for Students with Autism written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rapid Prompting Method (RPM) was created by Soma Mukhopadhyay as an attempt to provide a way for individuals with autism to learn and communicate. The method has been said to give students with autism a means of communication. A facilitator quickly provides verbal prompts to the individual, who then spells out messages on a letter board or a keyboard. Very little research has been done on RPM, and it is not considered an evidence-based method. Many professionals believe that RPM is not a valid method of communication, largely due to the striking similarities it has with Facilitated Communication (FC). FC is another method of communication for individuals with autism that was discredited in 1993 and 1994. It involved a facilitator holding the hand or arm of an individual and helping them spell out messages. It was found that the facilitators were actually authoring the messages, rather than the individuals with autism. The present literature review compares the two methods and discusses the research that has been done on both the Rapid Prompting Method and Facilitated Communication.
Book Synopsis Developing Expressive Language in Verbal Students with Autism Using Rapid Prompting Method by : Soma Mukhopadhyay
Download or read book Developing Expressive Language in Verbal Students with Autism Using Rapid Prompting Method written by Soma Mukhopadhyay and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2016-03-26 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written for a group of students with autism who have speech- enough to state requests or recite dialogs but not enough to discuss a topic.Verbal autistic students may have functional speech but it may be difficult for them to extract the right word/language at the right moment required. Expressive language may lie dormant and the student may need a way to bring these thoughts to the surface. Spelling a word may be easier approach for these students than saying a word or thought aloud.Also, many verbal students may experience a "road block" towards intentional-communication beyond the previously learned functional or social speech. If the speech is rote/habit/stim, people may be deceived by their speech and believe that the student cannot think beyond those uttered words.
Book Synopsis Growing Sensory Tolerance Using Rapid Prompting Method by : Soma Mukhopadhyay
Download or read book Growing Sensory Tolerance Using Rapid Prompting Method written by Soma Mukhopadhyay and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2018-10-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autism can isolate a person due to their sensory challenges. This book was written to help the autistic person adapt better to the environment using the sensory learning channels- vision, auditory and tactile which are the doors to the sensory world. The kinesthetic channel is the output of how our sensory channels assess the environment. Through RPM we know there is a difference between the cognitive learning and the sensory learning. Cognitively one may know what pain is but his hypo tactile sensitivity may not let one recognize a cavity in a tooth. The exercises in this book have been tried with different students before writing. Our goal is to better the lives of Autistic people using RPM. We know that our autistic children have many sensory challenges. As parents most importantly we want to know what we can DO to help. This book is packed with 'HOW TO's' - practical exercises which can be done for 5-10 mins a day at home. I feel that this book can help people even if they do not have a prior knowledge of Soma RPM. I loved that I was reading it and thinking about my son, I had so many "Of course! Why didn't I think of that?" moments - for me the sign of a great resource book that will be read and re-read many times. --Sue Finnes, Parent As an occupational therapist I have found sensory based learning to be an integral part of my practice. This is especially important for persons who present with difficulties with sensory processing including challenges taking in, interpreting and responding to sensory inputs from their environments. In order to maximize learning and motor skill development, it is beneficial to teach by incorporating the student's stronger sensory channels while continuing to facilitate development of weaker channels. It is also important to utilize these channels to help students maintain a regulated state in order to promote active engagement in a multitude of tasks and experiences across environments. Teaching via Rapid Prompting Method provides the sensory supports needed to help maximize each students ability to learn, both academic content and functional skills. Utilizing this sensory rich method of teaching has helped many of my students develop the skills they need to lead more meaningful lives. --Amy Brennan, M.S., OTR/L, BCP

Book Synopsis Principles of Behavior by : Richard W. Malott
Download or read book Principles of Behavior written by Richard W. Malott and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known for both its narrative style and scientific rigor, Principles of Behavior is the premier introduction to behavior analysis. Through an exploration of experimental, applied, and theoretical concepts, the authors summarize the key conversations in the field. They bring the content to life using humorous and engaging language and show students how the principles of behavior relate to their everyday lives. The text’s tried-and-true pedagogy make the content as clear as possible without oversimplifying the concepts. Each chapter includes study objectives, key terms, and review questions that encourage students to check their understanding before moving on, and incorporated throughout the text are real-world examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts and principles. This edition features some significant organizational changes: the respondent conditioning chapter is now Chapter 1, a general introduction to operant conditioning is now covered in Chapters 2 and 3, and the introduction to research methods is now covered in Chapter 4. These changes were made to help instructors prepare students for starting a research project at the beginning of the course. Two new chapters include Chapter 5 on the philosophy supporting behavior analysis, and Chapter 24 on verbal behavior that introduces B.F. Skinner’s approach and terminology. This edition also features a new full-color design and over 400 color figures, tables, and graphs. Principles of Behavior is an essential resource for both introductory and intermediate courses in behavior analysis. It is carefully tailored to the length of a standard academic semester and how behavior analysis courses are taught, with each section corresponding to a week’s worth of coursework. The text can also function as the first step in a student’s journey into becoming a professional behavior analyst at the BA, MA, or PhD/EdD level. Each chapter of the text is integrated with the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) task list, serving as an excellent primer to many of the BACB tasks. The text is supported by a set of PowerPoint slides with figures, tables, and graphs for every chapter and a robust test bank with multiple choice, fill in the blank, matching, and short answer questions for every chapter for a total of over 1,500 questions.
