2.
Components of the Discontinuous Individual Trial Teaching Method
All teaching materials related to discriminative stimuli, instructions, and directions
Discriminative stimuli, clarifying
Discriminative stimuli, keep it simple

Three types of reactions a child exhibits: correct, incorrect, and no response.
Reactions always require a time constraint.
Reinforcing stimulus: reinforcement provided when a correct response is shown
Reinforcement is provided according to the difficulty of the task.
Give feedback with an emotionless "no" to misreactions and no response.
Feedback is provided immediately
The meaning of urging and things to watch out for
Urge and infallible lessons
Trial and error learning without prompting relies on luck.
Prompts should always be given immediately after a command.

Parents who received ABA training from Mr. Bob

ABA therapy that changes your child's life!

If you want to be a good therapist
Let go of the idea that children's abilities are limited.

ABA is a behavioral correction method that is useful not only for children with developmental disabilities but also for raising children without developmental disabilities.
The author of the book, Bob Chen, is a disciple of Dr. Robas, who established Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and is a leading therapist who has established his own unique ABA theory through extensive clinical treatment.
《ABA for Beginners》 is a book that systematically organizes the unique treatment method he established.


He first suggests changing the perspective on developmental disabilities.
This is because developmental disabilities, including autism, are not a real thing, but rather a term used to refer to symptoms that commonly appear in children.
Children with developmental disabilities have strengths and weaknesses just like other children, but they are unique and require different educational approaches.
That is why active intervention by parents and therapists is necessary.

The author also argues that all parents should become ABA therapists.
This is because treatment by a therapist alone has limitations.
A therapist cannot fill every waking moment of a child.
Parents must be involved in the treatment design and program to continue teaching their child after the therapist has finished treatment.
The success rate of treatment for children also increases if parents continue treatment at home to the point where the child cannot tell the difference between receiving treatment and not receiving treatment.


The author argues that if you want to change your child's behavior and improve his or her life, you shouldn't limit his or her growth.
If parents want to be good therapists, they must first abandon the idea that there are limits to what children can learn while teaching them.
Because teachers who place limits on children's development are already declaring that they have given up on teaching before they even begin.
With this premise, the author presents specific methods for parents and therapists to practically treat children.


Author's Note

I am always moved when I see Korean parents sacrifice and dedicate themselves to their children.
Korean parents care for their children with a passion and dedication unmatched in any other country in the world.
If it helps my children, I don't hesitate to participate in education, even late at night or early in the morning, to learn as much as possible.
Even at two or three in the morning, he showed his passion for participating in training.
It's awe-inspiring to see Korean parents pushing themselves to the limit and giving their best to their children.


So, I think that ABA therapy is a more suitable treatment for Korean parents, and that it is a treatment that Korean parents can do better than people from other countries.
Maybe your child is still

They will exhibit a variety of problem behaviors.
If you look beyond your child's present to tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and even five years from now, your child's future will definitely change.
