昨日は応用行動分析(Applied Behavior Analysis, 略してABA)の計4回のトレーニングセッションの初日。朝から、Senaをプリスクールに送って、夫婦そろって参加。その間Leoは隣の部屋で専門の方に遊んでもらってた。
It was the first Group Parent Training (GPT) session yesterday on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). It is 4 sessions in total, 1 session (2 hours) per week. Both of us participated after dropping off Sena at preschool. While having the session, Leo was playing with the care-giver in the room next door.
ABAは主に自閉症の子供の行動管理を目的したもので、そうじゃない息子にはまったく当てはまらないのだが、地域センターの人に薦められて参加。4回のセッション後に、自宅に専門家が来てくれて、着替えや食事、トイレトレーニングなど、自立に向けた行動ができるように教えてくれるらしい。
ABA is primarily for managing behavioral problems in children with autism, so it is not for Leo in fact since he is not autistic. But the intake worker at San Diego Regional Center (SDRC) recommended to take it. After 4 GTP sessions, actual ABA workers come home and teach various things including how to change cloths, eat food, or potty training for Leo to do them by himself independently.
今後、私たち親がLeoの自立に向けた様々な訓練をする際に、彼も当然「いやだーー！」という機会も増えてくるだろう。そういう時のために、どうやってモーチベーションを保たせるか。泣き喚いた際にどうやって効率的に対処し、また次につなげていくか、などなど、親のほうも、「ふむふむ」と勉強になった。Leoは性格上穏やかで、あんまりかんしゃくとか起こさないから、どちらかというと、これはSena向き？とも思ったり(^^)。
Sooner or later, we will have more cases where we, as parents of disabled, need to make him practice many tough things. We. of course, anticipate he will be going "no---!, I don't wanna do that!", so through ABA, we learn how to keep his motivation positive, how to efficiently make him work on it, and more importantly, how to keep him going, going and going. Today, we learned a lot and it was very educational. Leo is very mellow and always happy, so we felt it may be more useful for Sena, who is in the middle of terrible 2:-)
障害児の親が息抜きできるように、自宅に介護に来てくれるサービスも来週には始まるかな？
地域センターには今後もますますお世話になりそうです。
Next week, we will start another service called respite. A respite worker comes home and takes care of him for a short while so that parents can get a little bit of rest. Thanks SDRC!
Leo、Sena。パパも一生懸命がんばるからね。これからもがんばっていこうね。
Leo, Sena. I will work hard, so let's keep going, OK?
