rethink autism Online Platform for Autism Therapy at Home

Filed under: Net News , Pediatrics , Psychiatry

logo_tm.gifTherapy sessions for autistic kids are not only expensive, but can also present a daunting challenge that typically involves going to an unfamiliar clinical environment. To help parents and caretakers work directly with kids in their own home, rethink autism online training application has been developed. According to the company with the same name, the application is based on applied behavior analysis (ABA) techniques. By offering video demonstrations of effective therapeutic approaches, coupled with a platform for development of personalized lesson plans, rethink autism may serve as a complement to existing therapy sessions as well as an effective option for those without access to professionals.

Here's a company introduction to the rethink autism program:

Hi - Jamie from Rethink Autism here! Just wanted to clarify one of the points made above. We do NOT view our web-based treatment platform as an alternative to professional sessions. As an ABA-based product, we recommend that families work in conjunction with a board certified behavior analyst whenever possible. Rethink Autism can serve as both a supplement and complement to ongoing treatment supervised by a qualified professional. We recognize, however, that some families may have limited or no access to professional support. In these cases, Rethink Autism offers tools for parents to take control of their child's treatment program. As one parent blogger recently noted (http://www.squidalicious.com/2009/08/aba-affordably-on-demand-rethink-autism.html):

"Rethink Autism creates a customized ABA curriculum for your child, provides hundreds of concise but thorough video-based lessons supplemented by printed lesson plans to teach you how to teach your child, allows automated scheduling so that you can coordinate with with your ABA team as to who's teaching your child what and when, and produces really straightforward data tracking and analysis. They even provide email curriculum support. This is a valuable and very well done resource, and I recommend it."
