Top 4 Areas - An autistic person needs individual support for rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is planned and is carried out in collaboration with relatives, close associates, and professionals familiar with autism who know the rehabilitator.

Autism rehabilitation is being developed in different parts of Bangladesh, but the availability of rehabilitation varies from region to region.

However, early diagnosis and educational rehabilitation of children is becoming a practice. Rehabilitation plans are made on the basis of research by the body that diagnosed the child in collaboration with families, kindergartens, schools, and others.

Rehabilitation is largely a matter of everyday practice at home, kindergarten, school, housing unit, workplace, and leisure activities, for example. The goal is to survive as independently as possible by providing the knowledge and skills needed for choices.

An autistic person needs individual support at all stages of life, but the nature of support changes with age.

Rehabilitation for autism rehabilitation for adolescents, adults, and the elderly are still deficient compared to or insufficient for children. Adults also need basic rehabilitation and systematic guidance throughout their lives.

1. Communication

It is important for an autistic person to find a way to communicate that he or she can express himself or herself and become understood in his or her environment. Finding and strengthening an individual way of communicating is part of basic rehabilitation for an autistic person.

Communication seeks a level where objects and functions have the same meaning for the autistic person and others, such as the counselor. A concrete form is sought for the meaning, which can be an object, a picture, a spoken or written word, a sign, or another sign.

When communicating with an autistic person, speech support and alternative communication methods can also be used.

The need for communication is aroused by reinforcing one’s own spontaneous expression, such as vocalization, movement, pushing, or other activity. Rewards that are relevant to an autistic person are used in communication.

A common way of communicating creates a basis for guidance and learning and for coping in everyday life.

2. Structuring

An autistic person needs the means to control the environment and activities. A structured or structured environment and work guidance are part of the basic rehabilitation of an autistic person.

In structuring, the environment is provided with visible cues that indicate what is to be done (what, where, by whom, for how long, and what will be done after the activity).

In structuring, for example, visual signs that structure images and space, such as colors and delimitation of areas, are used to aid communication. Work is guided in a structured way and assignments are designed to support individual learning.

3. Practicing social situations and interactions

Practicing social situations and interactions is part of basic rehabilitation for an autistic person. Training is done using models and aims for appropriate behavior.

Social stories, acting, comics, or videotaping can be used to help with the internship. Repeated practice helps to transfer learned skills to new situations and new environments.

4. Recognizing sensory messages and perceiving your own body

In basic rehabilitation, we look for ways to learn and learn to cope in everyday life. It includes e.g. identifying sensory messages, taking into account hypersensitivity, and perceiving one’s own body.
