Teaching an Adolescent with Autism Functional Living Skills I have had the privilege of working with Josh as his Applied Behavior Analysis Therapist for nearly a year and a half. Whether giving Josh a congratulatory high-five, playfully chasing him up the stairs, or listening to his infectious laugh, not a day passes that working with Josh hasn’t brought me a measure of joy. As a non-speaking, 12 year-old with autism, Josh’s limited verbal skills make communication difficult. His lack of, and limited understanding of verbal communication has unfortunately led to aggressive behaviors culminating in broken drywall, shattered glass, and injuries to both Josh and others. Finding ways to communicate with him has proven a challenge. However, Josh’s team and I have identified that he can effectively communicate by matching typed or written words to objects. This strength has been harnessed to decrease Josh’s aggressive behavior and expand upon his independent functional living skills. The skill of grocery shopping –gathering items from a list while demonstrating no negative behaviors- was specifically identified as a goal in order for Josh to become more independent in caring for his own needs. Breaking the goal down into separate skills, each one building on the previous, would allow Josh to shop with progressively more and more independence. The first step in the teaching process consisted of presenting Josh with grocery items in his Therapy room. Showing Josh a typed word for each grocery item and extending my hand indicated that I wanted him to hand me the corresponding grocery item. Lots of reinforcement and dozens of learning opportunities saw most grocery items mastered in little time. For the second step of the process we relocated to a simulated supermarket with
grocery items set up on a series of shelves, stocked on makeshift aisles with personal care goods in one area, cookies and crackers in another, breakfast foods on a different shelf, and frozen and refrigerated items in a final area. In addition, a shopping cart was introduced and Josh was taught to add items to the cart when he found them. Soon, Josh was moving among the “grocery aisles” with his cart like a pro. In the weeks since teaching Josh how to independently grocery shop, I have accompanied him into the community where he has shopped in the grocery store, his mother beside him, while he correctly places items into his cart. I have continued to introduce additional grocery items for him to learn, expanding upon this independent repertoire. Additionally, I have increased expectations by introducing handwritten labels (versus typed labels), requiring Josh to shop more systematically by specific aisles, and teaching Josh to ask for help when he cannot independently find items. I have truly enjoyed the process of teaching Josh how to independently grocery shop. His smile, often accompanied by infectious laughter, continues to bring me joy. Now his smiles and laughter often occur while grocery shopping and learning other new skills. For Josh, a job well done is its own reward.

How To Handle Chronic Fighting In Your Family I recently had a parent who came into the office to talk about her marital difficulties that she was having with her spouse. Her secondary concern was that she wondered how this was affecting her children. She wanted to know if she had done irreparable damage and more importantly she was wondering how it was affecting her children’s view of marriage and healthy relationships. After all, a healthy parent knows that his or her job is to raise healthy children who maintain meaningful relationships. This can be a very complex situation because as I explain to parents that often times the results of parental fighting depends on the sensitivity level of a child. It also depends on the intensity or frequency of the fighting. In general, children are very resilient and can weather the intermittent arguing that occurs between parents unless the fights are incredibly intense, abusive or frequent. If you have participated in these kinds of fights, you may want to believe that it is not affecting him or her because you have taken steps to keep your child insulated from it as much as possible. You have tried to argue when he/she has not been in the room or has been outside or has been asleep. Unfortunately children who listen to their parents fighting are hyper vigilant about what is going on even if they are not in the same room. For these kinds of children, just waiting for the next argument can be very detrimental to their psyches. This reality is not meant to make you feel guilty but it is to be a wakeup call; that follow up with your child will likely help your child process a tough situation. You will need to talk with him/her about the fighting and the fact that you know it is not
healthy to live like this. It helps to share with your child what you are going to do to remedy the problem. You may explain that you and your spouse are going to get counseling and work out the problems. Or if your spouse refuses Carol Juergensen Sheets to go to counseling, you can inform your child that you intend to get some counseling. Perhaps you need to share with your child that there may be an exit plan in the future so that you keep everybody safe from the chronic fighting. The important thing is to convey that you are in the process of making healthy changes for you and your family. It may also be necessary to get your child into individual or family therapy so that they can have their feelings validated. The most important thing to do here is to teach your child about things in their life. Kids typically feel compelled to make things better. It is important for a neutral source like another adult, a teacher, or a counselor, to let your child know that they did not cause the problem, they cannot control the problem, nor can the cure the problem! So if this column resonates with you, I would encourage you to seek the assistance of a counselor. Together you can figure out what is the next strategy to make the healthiest choice for your family. Raising kids is not easy but almost any situation can be a teachable moment to help both you and your child grow stronger. It’s important for you to work with somebody to stop the isolation and to team up to figure out the next step!

Our Story
Success x Two!!
“ I have two children who have gone through the Brain Balance program. Before Brain Balance, I was truly at my wits end. My children are totally opposite. My oldest struggled academically and my youngest struggled behaviorally. As a mom, I wanted to help my kids in every way possible, but for some reason, everything wasn’t working. Because I couldn’t figure out how to help my kids, I was very stressed out. My blood pressure was high and I was losing my hair. After Brain Balance, I have really seen a change in both of my kids. My oldest has developed more confidence with her academics, which has allowed her to perform better overall. My youngest has made great gains with his behavior at home and school. Both children have received awards and recognitions from school, for the first semester. I am so proud of them and they are proud of themselves. At my last doctor’s visit my blood pressure levels have decreases significantly. Thank you Brain Balance for helping my family!” ~Courtney, mom

ABC at a Glance
Get to know The Applied Behavior Center for Autism We Were Founded by a Mother of a child with Autism
We Offer Specialized Programming for Teens
ABC was founded in 1997 when CEO, Sherry Quinn’s son Michael was diagnosed with Autism. At the time, Autism was a rare diagnosis. In fact, Michael was the only child in his entire school district with Autism. After doing extensive research, Sherry realized that Applied Behavior Analysis therapy was the best possible treatment for her son. At the time, that service was not offered anywhere within the state of Indiana. Sherry set out to change that.
Our L.I.F.E Program (Learning in Functional Environments) serves ages 10 and older. L.I.F.E is a full-day program that uses the science of ABA to teach skills that promote independence, quality of life and other functional skills. Children and teens in this program learn to work on functional skills within a simulated home environment and real life, community-based settings.
We are Indiana’s Largest & Longest Running ABA Therapy Provider ABC has grown to be the largest and longest running ABA therapy provider in the state of Indiana. We are proud to offer 7 beautiful outpatient facilities throughout the state. This includes our Indy North Center, Early Childhood Center, Carmel Center, Indy West Center, Greenwood Center, Richmond Center and our brand new Terre Haute Center (located inside the Terre Haute Children’s Museum). Each of our centers offers a unique blend of amenities including custom-crafted indoor gyms and individual therapy rooms. We are also proud to offer home and school based programming options.
We Offer More than ABA Therapy At ABC, we offer a wide variety of high-quality services. These include: speech therapy (lead by duel-certified BCBA/SLPs), occupational therapy, behavior consultation, special needs swim lessons, desensitization programming, a 100% effective researched based potty-training program and more.
We Serve the Entire Autism Spectrum Across a Broad Age Range ABC proudly specializes in serving clients of all ages. From the stages of early intervention used with toddlers to the daily living skills training needed for teens on the spectrum, we have specialty staff for every client. Not only does every age group get their own specialized team of therapists, we also provide individualized programs and spaces within our centers for their treatment, including peer interactions.
Important skills such as budgeting money, grocery shopping, peer interactions, doing laundry, personal hygiene and more are worked on within this program. All therapy within our LIFE Program is seamlessly blended with our Behavior Consulting, Speech Therapy and Occupational Therapy services on an as-needed basis.
We Provide Full Insurance Management Services (Free of Charge) At ABC, we understand that there are several stresses and pressures that come with searching for the right services for your child. Sorting through insurance struggles should not be another stressor added to that list. Because of this, our trained team of experts handles all insurance processing on behalf of our clients. This is a service that we offer to all families completely free of charge.
We Also Offer Home Therapy Programs ABC offers services across a variety of locations. Although center-based is our most popular option, we also offer school-based, community-based and home-based programs. Our home-based programs can be provided throughout Central and Southern Indiana.

After the Holidays The holidays are over. You have eaten way too much, you are exhausted from all the gatherings you attended, and your house is a mess. Your child with autism is likely to be out of sorts and unable to calm him/herself. How do you get your life and your child’s life back in order? How do you re-establish your daily routines? The sooner you get life back to normal, the better. Review your established routines. Do they work for you and your family? If so reinstate them. If you don’t have established routines, or the routines you use aren’t working well for you and your family, it’s a good time to implement them. There are several activities that happen daily that can be scheduled and planned. Think about your child’s bedtime routine. It should at the same time each evening, but beyond that, are there other things that are part of going to bed that happen each bedtime? Make a list of those activities and put them in order of occurrence. You should plan backwards. What is your child’s bedtime? What activities take place as he/she is getting ready for bed? There may be a shower or bath, brushing teeth, putting on pajamas, and reading a book that all come before climbing into bed. Calculate the amount of time needed for each of these steps and determine when you need to start the routine. You can encourage your child’s independence in following the routine by creating a visual schedule for him/her to follow. You can use your own photographs of your child completing each activity, you can cut pictures from a magazine, or you can find pictures on the internet to use. Arrange the pictures in the correct sequential order (top to bottom often works best) and review the schedule with your child. Your child should know what 22
each picture represents and how to complete the activity. Practice one routine using the visual schedule for a week or more before adding other schedules to your child’s life. Once he/she is able to complete the activities that are on the visual schedule with an appropriate amount of independence, you can add other visual schedules to support additional routines. Consider creating a visual schedule for school day mornings, dinner time, homework completion, or any other daily activity. Keep your visual schedules as simple as possible. Limit your pictures to no more than five for children who are in elementary school. Older children can handle a longer visual schedule for more complex tasks. This is an example of a visual support that is helpful for children with autism, but when we think about it, we all rely on visual supports. Consider the teacher who posts a calendar on the wall of the classroom, the business person who depends on the iphone in their hand to keep track of events, or the baker following a new recipe. These are all types of visual support that we use every day. Think of how your child can be provided the same type of support in an age appropriate way. These supports can help make your child more independent and better able to anticipate what comes next in their lives. You and your child will both feel calmer as you start and finish each day.

Brain Mapping and Your Child by Jane Yip, PhD With the development of neuroimaging in the last two decades, we have witnessed a quantum leap in the understanding of the brain. Thanks to the help of computational science, brain imaging methods have been miniaturized into portable versions and provides literally a map of the brain. Questions such as the following can be answered: • What happens to the brain of a child who has autism or other neurological conditions? • Can behavior and life functioning problems be detected in wiring? Brain-mapping technology computes brain activity and connectivity as the child or adult receives intervention. What is unique: Autism Parent Care is the first company in Indiana, which we know of, that uses brain mapping technology as therapy is progressing. This technology supplements therapy results from traditional methods that rely mainly on behavior measurements. Who could benefit: Any child or adult with neurologically-based disorders including autism, ADHD, learning issues, epilepsy, and other brain conditions. Neuroimaging can show areas of
strengths, IQ level; information that is helpful for developing IEPs and career preparedness. Device: An FDA approved device, 510(K) 990538 and 510k K041263, will be used for processing electroencephalographic (EEG) waveforms of brain activity and quantitative electroencephalograms (qEEGs). Testing: The test will take approximately 20 minutes; the procedure is painless, safe, has a history of over 50 years, and is FDA approved for research and clinical use. The raw EEG is collected in a resting, awake state. Children will wear a cap made of nylon with embedded 19 electrodes which will feel like a swim cap. Check out the video of a child undergoing the procedure at www. IndianaBrainMapping.com
A short Biography Jane Yip, PhD, has a doctoral degree and post-doctoral experience in neuroscience. She has published in peer-review journal on the neurobiology of autism and has worked extensively on the topic of autism for more than a decade. Her passion is to create the kind of treatment for individuals with autism that reflects their neurological needs. She can be reached at Phone: 317-503-1296 or Email: autismparentcare@yahoo.com
