Muhammad is 8 years old. Since birth, he was a restless child, and at 4 months he was first diagnosed with hydrocephalus and motor disorders syndrome. The kid lagged behind his peers in development, was afraid of unfamiliar places and people, and had problems with behavior and speech. Muhammad has now been diagnosed with disorders of the development of impressive and expressive speech, disorders in the formation of cognitive, emotional-motivational, cognitive-communicative spheres, and food allergies. Muhammad does not speak, but partially understands the converted speech. Does not play or interact with peers.
A behavioral analyst conducted testing to establish the child's current skill level and barriers related to undesirable behavior (VB-MAPP testing). Based on the test results, the goals for building an individual training program for developing Muhammad's skills have been determined. The specialist also assessed the boy's preferences and determined the hierarchy of motivational stimuli, so that the boy began to cooperate and follow the instructions of the teacher. In addition, the child was introduced a system of tokens, the concept of "first-then", he learned to ask for desired objects and actions in a socially acceptable way (through an index gesture and a card).
