How Can ABA and Speech Therapy Help In Autism
Treatment?

• To understand the different treatment options for
  people with autism it is important to note that
  the diagnosis of their condition is necessary.
  The doctor will conduct a thorough analysis of
  the signs and symptoms of the patient before
  suggesting a therapy.
• For better treatment, health professionals use a
  combination two treatments namely Applied
  Behaviour Analysis and speech therapy as they are
  the best treatment plans for autism. In ABA, the
  therapist will target particular behaviours that
  help a person or a child to have socially
  significant instructions. The behaviours could
  include, learning a language, reading, play, and
  other leisure skills. These behaviours are then
  analysed by a therapist to see how much has a
  child or an adult with autism learned.

How Can ABA and Speech Therapy Help In Autism
Treatment?

• ABA is used in combination with speech therapy to
  enhance the communication channel between the
  instructor and the student. When someone has
  autism it is usually hard for them to learn vocal
  speech, this is one of the biggest obstacles in
  dealing with children with autism.
• Speech therapy helps a person, particularly a
  child to learn a language. The therapist will
  motivate a child with autism to associated
  feelings with words and objects. This method
  allows the child to learn the names of different
  objects easily. In this treatment method, the
  child is not limited to focus on labels like
  bottle, toys, cats, dogs. Instead, the child is
  taught to use the language to make requests and
  communicate with other people.
• Children and adults with autism will be able to
  learn different behaviours and practice them in
  their routine. Moreover, children will be able to
  learn sign language and picture communication as
  a part of speech therapy. The aim of using both
  Applied Behaviour Analysis ABA and speech therapy
  is to enable a child or an adult with autism to
  communicate with each other, with their parents
  and doctors on their own.

An Overview of Concussion Treatment

• Rest is the best way to treat the concussion if
  the doctor diagnosis a minor concussion. You have
  to avoid physical activity that can put a strain
  on the injury. Avoid stress and try to stay calm
  mentally to avoid worsening the symptoms.
  Essentially the doctor might recommend avoiding
  sports and workouts.
• Reduce thinking and stressing out over different
  issues. Avoid spending too much time on a mobile
  phone, television and a computer. If you need
  some time off work or school then its
  recommended to take a few days off. When the
  symptoms start to wear off, the doctor might
  suggest light exercise like a walk. Once all the
  signs of a concussion are gone, the doctor might
  recommend that you consider a minor workout, try
  reading a book and avoid mobile phone and
  computers as much as possible.
• If you have headaches and nausea, talk to your
  doctor. You might need medications for concussion
  treatment to help with headaches, dizziness, and
  nausea. Paracetamol might be used to help with
  the sharp headaches. Avoid using aspirin and
  ibuprofen as they can lead to bleeding.

Concussion Treatment

• Before treatment for the concussion is started
  the doctor will need to determine the extent of
  the damage to the brain. For this purpose, CT
  scans, and other tests might be conducted. The CT
  scans will help the doctor identify serious
  damage to the skull and to locate any internal
  bleeding or clogged veins. If there is no serious
  damage the doctor will recommend rest and some
  paracetamol for pain relief.
• Refrain from Physical Activity
• If you or your loved one has suffered a
  concussion without any serious damage, the
  treatment will include plenty of rest and avoid
  physical excursions like working out and
  exercising. This allows the brain to limit its
  activities and give it time to reduce
  inflammation in the brain.
• Avoid Using your Phone
• Another concussion treatment that a doctor
  recommends is to avoid using cellphones,
  computer, and watching television for long hours.
  Refrain from using any electronic devices when
  you are suffering from a concussion because they
  put stress on your brain.
