Dec 20, 2019, Navhind Times: Children with autism lack applied behaviour analysis therapists for recommended treatment http://www.navhindtimes.in/children-with-autism-lack-applied-behaviour-analysis-therapists-for-recommended-treatment/ As the number of cases suffering from autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is increasing, a recent study says how insufficient the supply of certified applied behaviour analysis (ABA) providers is to meet the needs of children with autism. The study has found that there is substantial variation across states and regions. For instance, the per capita supply of certified ABA providers is substantially higher in the Northeast than in any other region in the USA. The study was published in the journal Psychiatric Services. The rising prevalence of ASD underscores the importance of access to evidence-based interventions such as ABA. An estimated one in 59 children had ASD in 2014, up from one in 125 a decade earlier, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention…. In the Midwest, however, no state had more than one-third of the minimum number of ABA providers needed for the number of children with autism.
Childhood Lost
Children today are noticeably different from previous generations, and the proof is in the news coverage we see every day. This site shows you what’s happening in schools around the world. Children are increasingly disabled and chronically ill, and the education system has to accommodate them. Things we've long associated with autism, like sensory issues, repetitive behaviors, anxiety and lack of social skills, are now problems affecting mainstream students. Blame is predictably placed on bad parenting (otherwise known as trauma from home).
Addressing mental health needs is as important as academics for modern educators. This is an unrecognized disaster. The stories here are about children who can’t learn or behave like children have always been expected to. What childhood has become is a chilling portent for the future of mankind.
