Welcome to “Motivations,” the POAC blog! Since 2008, as part of POAC’s effort to promote the use of evidence-based applied behavior analysis (ABA) interventions to help kids with autism, we periodically produced a print bulletin. That bulletin, like this blog, was called “Motivations,” after the importance of capturing and leveraging a child’s motivation when doing ABA.
A basic principle of the bulletin was that autism families already have too much to read and too many things to do. So when a POAC member had already invested the time to read a new book, review the recent research, attend a conference or when they had been through an experience, the bulletin summarized the key points for other parents. Our goal was to save your valuable time while seeking to help you help your child with autism.
Still is. Only now we hope the blog can make it more interactive – each post can trigger a discussion. We look forward to your comments and reactions. Adding your experience will make the whole thing richer for everyone who follows the blog.
In case you missed any, all the previous print bulletin articles are posted below. We’re busy-bordering-on-overwhelmed people (like autism parents everywhere) so we can’t say exactly how often this blog will be updated. We hope it will be about monthly. Stay tuned for new posts and discussions.
