[Explanation] April 2 is "World Autism Day". A reporter from Chinanews.com walked into the autism rehabilitation training base of Jiangxi Civil Affairs School. A dozen children’s paintings are hung on one side of the corridor. Each room here The classrooms have special uses, including game classrooms, sensory integration classrooms, and a training room dedicated to one-on-one teaching.
In a sensory integration classroom, more than ten autistic children are building blocks under the guidance of teachers and the company of their parents.
On the other side of the game classroom, there is noise from time to time, and a child is standing in the middle following the music to perform for everyone.
According to Lin Dongyu, the person in charge of the autism training base, the current mainstream method of intervention for autistic patients in the world is to apply behavioral analysis.
However, due to the lack of English proficiency, most of China's autism rehabilitation teachers and institutions have only "wows and sighs" for the autism assessment tools derived from this analysis.

This is a very large system. What's more, many of our domestic autism professions are special education teachers, who are generally based on high vocational and secondary vocational education (academic qualifications), and their understanding of English is relatively weak. Therefore, it also restricts their ability to do this localization. We think that we should help the government to introduce new ways from outside to popularize and promote it.
Lin Dongyu said that in the past year, they are gradually connecting with the international community, and their teaching methods are based on both Western concepts and traditional Chinese culture.
They will report the intervention of each child every week, video link with foreign experts, and give corresponding solutions one-to-one.
In an interview, Zhang Yiping, the vice principal of the autism rehabilitation training base, believes that the intervention and companionship of children with autism is not just a matter of the school. Therefore, in the classes in the training base, the accompanying parents are also "student".

What we advocate is not to say that the institution is all-inclusive. We advocate teaching parents how to communicate with their children, how to do a behavioral connection with their children, how to scientifically intervene, because he must spend much more time at home than school, so Our main direction should be the training of professors for parents.
Ms. Peng discovered that her son was suffering from autism when he was 3 years old and sent him here. After nearly a year of intervention and study, she admitted that the child has made great progress.

The look in his eyes is much better than before. It turned out that he would not look at strangers face to face. His eyes were floating and would avoid. Now he has his own emotions, and then he will express his unhappiness. It turns out that I feel grown up.
From the many details of the teacher's class, I learned how I should interfere with him at home.
The bell rang after class, and the children in the base, accompanied by their parents, set foot on their way home in twos and threes.
In Zhang Yiping's view, these "children of the stars" have the same appearance as ordinary people, but they have a lonely heart. What they can do is make them love life more, and what they hope is that the whole society can better accept it. they.
