ABA and VB

Dear ABA tutors & parents,
My name is Elaine Mc Hugh, I studied psychology in NUI Galway and I’m currently taking part in a masters in educational research with the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
I’m now in the process of conducting research which investigates the change of pilot ABA schools in Ireland to special school status. What I am most interested in is your perceptions of the reforms and attitudes towards different types of treatment options. I was wondering if you would be interested in being interviewed as part of this research. I am looking for people who have been directly impacted by these changes. Your personal information (and information about the associated school) will be confidential.
Please contact me if you are interested in taking part or if you have any questions.

To provide free ABA information and educational services (such as workshops, parent training/education, information newsletter) to members of the community who would derive benefit, such as parents of typically-developing children with problem behaviour, parents of children with autism, individuals with acquired brain injury. The aim is to help especially those who may not be able to afford fees for a behaviour analyst.

We offer both group sessions in the preschool and one to one tuition in the form of ABA. The school runs 5 days a week from September through to July. Children are taught according to their individual ability and strength and our programmes are designed to enhance the specific need of each child.
The annual benefit dance for the Bright Stars autism support group in Kingscourt took place last weekend in Cabra Castle and raised €5,000 to help support children with autism in the area. Maeve Leahy, one of the group's founders, said it was a great night with great support from the local people. Entertainment on the night included Irish dancing, line dancing at a Joe Dolan tribute by Tom O'Rourke.

Hope of progress on autism school in Kiltimagh
EFFORTS to open a special school in Mayo for children with autism could make significant progress next month. Mayo Autism Action has renovated a building which it rents from the IRD in Kiltimagh. Everything has been ready since January and the group is now hoping that an American expert in autism eduction might take up management of the new school in May.
For more than 40 years, ARI has devoted its work to conducting research, and to disseminating the research-based information on the possible triggers of autism and on methods of diagnosing and treating autism to parents, professionals around the world.
The Developing Ability Partnership offers a wide range of supports for individuals who require specialized educational supports.

"Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) is the first step for parents and other caregivers who need help managing behavior problems in children with Autism or other Neuropsychological Disorders."
"During my forty years of clinical experience I have tried to provide low-cost ABA resources for caregivers so they can do their own ABA. ABA increases your child's happiness, likelihood of being mainstreamed, and gives you hope." (Gary Brown, Ph. D)

As of 1 Jan 1970 - 01:33, this link is reporting errors. " ABACAS is a specialist ABA school for children with autism located in Kilbarrack and serving the need for autism specific education in North County Dublin. It was established in 2001 by parents and now has 30 children with an ever increasing waiting list for places.".
" The Rainbow School for autistic children was founded by a group of parents with autistic children, in September 2000. These parents recognised that intensive and early intervention greatly enhances the long-term prognosis for these children and that a specialist approach to their education is vital. Because of a lack of effective early educational intervention these parents created a specialist school, which though based in Wandsworth now serves many other boroughs.
"SPEAC (Special Provision for the Education of Autistic Children) was founded by parents who, faced with the realities of living with a child with autism, shared a frustration with the lack of educational provision. Their response was to forge a unique partnership with the South-Eastern Education and Library Board (SEELB) to run a 3-year pilot project based at Tor Bank Special School in Belfast. The Centre provided a child-centred specialist education using the principles of Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) to children aged 4-11 who had autism and severe learning difficulties."
Twenty-four children with autism were randomly assigned to a clinic-directed group ... or to a parent-directed group that received intensive hours but less supervision by equally well-trained supervisors. Outcome after 4 years of treatment .... After combining groups, we found that 48% of all children showed rapid learning, achieved average posttreatment scores, and at age 7, were succeeding in regular education classrooms. Treatment outcome was best predicted by pretreatment imitation, language, and social responsiveness. These results are consistent with ...
