Otistik Özellik Gösteren Çocuklara Sunulan Seçim Fırsatları ve Etkileri

Otistik özellik gösteren bireylerin yaşadığı zorlukların üstesinden gelebilmek ve yeni beceriler öğretebilmek için eğitim ortamlarında pek çok öğretim uygulamaları kullanılmaktadır. Alanyazındaki ilgili araştırmalar incelendiğinde, bu uygulamaların çoğunun bilimsel dayanaklı olmadığı görülmektedir. Seçim fırsatları sunma uygulamaları, otistik özellik gösteren ve gelişimsel yetersizliği olan bireylerin tercihleri doğrultusunda seçimler yapmalarını ve kendi kararlarını vermelerini sağlayan böylece yaşam kalitelerini arttıran bilimsel dayanaklı bir uygulamadır. Seçim fırsatları sunma uygulamalarının otizmi de içine alan gelişimsel yetersizlik kategorisinde bulunan bireylerin davranışları üzerinde olumlu etkileri olduğunu gösteren pek çok araştırma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, seçim fırsatlarını sunma uygulamalarının ne olduğu ve nasıl uygulandığına ilişkin bilgiler verildikten sonra seçim fırsatları sunmanın otistik özellik gösteren bireylerin davranışları üzerindeki etkilerinin ne olduğu tartışılmaktadır. Bu bilgiler doğrultusunda seçim fırsatlarının uygulanması ve yaygınlaştırılması için önerilerde bulunulmaktadır
