Working Tools Used in the Education of Functional Behavior in Children with Autism. Means of Communication and Visualization

Abstract

Formation of functional behavior in children with autism is primarily based on specific
education. This should be tailored to each case, depending on the symptoms and needs. Because a child
with autism receives and accumulates less information and less knowledge in the environment than a
regular child, intervention from an early age is required. There are many structured methods for
teaching children with autism; of these, the most used are the ABBA method and the TEACH method.
The intervention is based on several types of therapies that help to form functional behavior, which is
particularly important in developing the autonomy and independence of the autistic child.
