A longitudinal study examining interventions at decreasing behaviour that challenges whilst increasing emotive communication in a pupil with autism

Jordana Lyons

ABSTRACT: This case study will look at the long-term interventions of a pupil with autism and related learning disabilities from when they first started at BeyondAutism schools in year 7 to leaving BeyondAutism schools in year 14. This case study will address significant barriers to learning and increasing independent skills for this pupil and how interventions were put in place to support them to increase their emotive language and subsequently reduce behaviours that
challenge over time. This study will also evaluate the impact of these interventions on the long-term outcomes for this pupil moving onto post-19 provisions and through to adulthood.
