The Research On A Curriculum System For Social Skills Of Children With ASD

Autism spectrum disorder(ASD)has two core symptoms:social communication disorder,restricted interest and stereotyped behavior.It's a pervasive developmental disorder.The etiology and pathogenesis of ASD are not clear.It is incurable until now and requires lifelong rehabilitation.Long-term intervention training is the best way to treat it.The purpose of this study is to design a curriculum system that can effectively improve social communication capability of children with ASD,and to facilitate rehabilitation teachers to choose intervention contents of different difficulties according to the development status of children.Also to develop a curriculum software to verify the flexibility and effectiveness of the curriculum model through experiments.1.Development of autism social communication curriculum systemThe main methods of intervention are social robot intervention and video modeling.The intervention paradigms consist of video,dialogue and game.Each module is divided into three stages,according to the difficulty level of the rehabilitation task,and shaped into steps.Then,by referring to the 47 assessment indicators of the Development assessment form of autistic children(social interaction sector)published by the China Disabled Persons Federation,the author designed the curriculum objectives,curriculum structure,curriculum environment,teaching evaluation and other contents,and developed 47 courses targeting 0-6 years old children.2.Curriculum software developmentIn order to better achieve the course objectives,this study develops a set of course software based on Python3 by placing the above course content modules(video,dialogue,game)in the cloud.This course software is mainly used by rehabilitation teachers and post-management personnel to realize the functions of teaching,course editing and background management.3.Practical application of the courseBased on the above curriculum system and curriculum software,this study selected three subjects with different development status,and designed a cross-behavior multi-baseline experimental design with different steps of three courses.In order to test the effectiveness of the course and the flexibility of the course steps,the three subjects were observed in the baseline,intervention and maintenance periods and the flux of the subjects scores in the target course was analyzed.The experimental results show that the curriculum model can improve autistic children's social ability,and most autistic children can benefit from choosing steps with different levels of difficulty.The innovatios:1,In order to reduce the difficulty of curriculum development,this study combines teaching intervention and assessment.With the support of professional assessment,the training of children's social skills will be more scientific.The evaluation results can not only be used to judge the development level of children's social communication,but also to help rehabilitation teachers to choose training content and set training objectives.2.The intervention methods such as robot technology and video modeling are comprehensively applied to enrich the course content and improve the intervention efficiency;3.The study has finished the software development of course,applying Python3 to software development,compilation and packaging.It's simple but clear,easy to operate.It will be easy to promote among organizations.
