Is it right to try to 'normalise' autism?

The theme of today is a news that to speak about a teaching method for autism “ABA” or “Applied Behavioural Analysis”, the Jack's experience, the it work with autistic child, and Treetops, a school with this method.  

Jack is a child of 4 years old with autism. He had regularly refused to eat anything except baby food and custard, and it had to be a particular brown colour. If his mother (Julie Barber) tried anything else he would be sick.

The last year, Jack started at Treetops, one of a handful of state special schools in the UK offering a programme of applied behavioural analysis, or ABA. Today Jack can to go to restaurant or a party and to eat of all.  

First developed in California (US) in the 1960s, ABA uses a system of rewards to change children's behaviour and teach them new skills. The work on children with autism is controversial because the program is compared with the approach to "dog training" or the method is overly demanding.

ABA can be used for anything from improving behaviour to teaching curriculum subjects. The key tactic is to engage the child using individual rewards or "reinforcers".

Treetops used a type of ABA known as verbal behaviour or VB, the child is “paired” with an assistant who carries a bag of "rewards" (toys or props the child enjoys using). If the child perform a task correctly, or behave as they are being taught to, they get a few minutes with their reward. 

For to work with child the flexibility is the key because each child is different, in special for autistic child.

Similarities and differences on book-based movies


In my opinion each means (book and movie) haves his characteristic positive and negative and each one of them has destined a different people. Therefore not is necessary to read the book for to watch the movie. But too it is truth that it is more interesting to read the book, now that the books us can to develop ours imagination.

Sometime the book is longer that the duration of a movie; in consequence, the movie should change some ideas of the book. Too it is possible that a movie not can make as the book say, because of that not exist the effect necessary.

In general many people watching book-based movies without to read the book, therefore his opinion it is based only in the movie. But the people that to read the book in general prefers the book, considering that the book are most complete, and the movie can let with taste little for the fans.


An example is “Crepusculo” that for the fans that read the book the movie not likes, correctly to that the ideas of the book not were respected for the movie.

What opinion you???

See you the next week !!!!!!

In the Chilean Dictatorship many thing was censure… one of this thing was the music.

The music is a form of expression, therefore the people listening music that it speak about than they think or want say.
For the Chilean Dictatorship many singer and bands was censure, because of that his songs were against off than imposed the authority, consequently the people who were in disagreement at the Dictatorship, they felt represented and they saw in the letter a form of protest.
Lamentably many singer were considerate leader of opinion, because his music was revolutionary, fighting against dictatorship, against oppression, and was in favor of democracy and social equality; therefore they were tortured as Tito Fernandez (to who his nails were took out) or killed as Victor Jara (who death detainee at the Estadio Nacional) or exiled as Quilapayún (who lived in France during the dictatorship)
Today many music of this period is listening and sing as a hymn for young and student, who the sing in chorus in march. This proof that in spite of suffered censorship, his voice not were silenced

I leave this interesting song of time for you to head

See you!!!^.^

My ideal Job


I would like job as educator in a space no conventional with little children of different age. For example: in a library, in a headquarters community, in a hospital, in a ludoteca, etc. For work in education is necessary many patients, knowledge theoretical and practical, creativity, friendly, histrionics, energy, power of observation and wish for learn day to day and innovate. I think that this job is good for me because is variable, dynamic and I prefer to work with little groups, owing to with a little quantity there are most interaction with each one and the interaction is most personalized. Maybe can be a teamwork with professionals of different area related to the childhood and his development. I think it would not be so difficult to find this type of job because each day there are many space of education no conventional and in the degree I had had internship in a hospital and I has course focus on popular education.
