Self-management
Self-management teaches learners with ASD to discriminate between appropriate and inappropriate behavior, accurately monitor and record their own behaviors, and reward themselves for appropriate behavior or use of skill.
What Will I Learn?
The AFIRM model guides the learner through four lessons to facilitate:
- Learning basic knowledge about self-management (SM).
- Applying SM in activity based scenarios that promote real-world application.
The SM module will take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours to complete. However, the module is broken into individual lessons to help guide your learning:
