Sarah is 5 years old, she has delayed speech development and autism spectrum disorder. By the age of 2, there was no speech, the girl stopped looking into her eyes and responding to the name.
Sarah conducted very productive rehabilitation courses, the girl gave a positive result in all aspects. The rubber ball throws were gradually replaced with a smaller tennis ball, Sarah began to get used to and watch the ball more closely. Since catching such a small ball required maximum concentration from her, certain successes were achieved in this direction that required further complication of management, a second ball was introduced, throws and catching tennis balls with both hands, work in this direction has just begun. Sarah performed tasks on previously studied exercises in order to maximize the reduction of physical prompts, as well as further transition only to voice instructions, which the girl began to do.
During the course, training in the skills of "listener behavior" continued, Sarah learned to show stimuli in rotation with 1 destructor. The teacher was working on teaching new instructions using visual prompts (pictogram cards) - brush your teeth, open, close, sprinkle, etc. The tasks of sorting verbs into 3 stacks (drinking, bathing and sleeping) continued. The ABA specialist introduced a long simulation (a chain of 8-10 actions). Graphomotorics was introduced.
