Inclusive Environment for Working with Children with ASD Organisation Problems in Different Types of Museums

Museums today play a pivotal role in creating an environment that follows principles of social inclusion and is accessible for individuals with disabilities including museum visitors with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Extracurricular activities are an integral part of comprehensive support for children with ASD that require coordinated efforts of museum professionals, psychologists, and educators. However, museum professionals may lack information about autism and appropriate approaches. The Federal Resource Center for Organization of Comprehensive Support to Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders at MSUPE studied this process by conducting a survey about the availability of resources for accommodating individuals with ASD as independent visitors as well as participants in museum programs. The results of the survey attest to a high level of engagement of museum community in creating provisions for visitors with ASD in addition to the demand for consulting centers that would facilitate development of appropriate tools. We present a project that has introduced “social narratives” as an instrument for ASD in a setting that can serve as a model for such a center.</jats:p

Towards the evidence-based approach: Presentation guideline for a practice used in ASD

&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The article discusses the current state of efficiency evaluation understanding for practices for children with ASD. The authors provide the algorithm of description in terms of evidence-based approach with intervention features that are crucial for replication and analysis of efficacy, incorporating the theoretical background, target group, goals and objectives, implementation plan, technical support, as well as the research team and evidence studies. These recommendations were developed with reference to the Russian instructional tradition and criteria for evidence-based practices. The article also describes the potential of an evidence-based approach both in terms of confirming the effectiveness of interventions and assistance practices, and their implementation in the practical work of specialists in educational and psychological profiles. The presented algorithm can be used for planning of efficacy studies by psychologists and teachers who develop methods for support and interventions in children with autism spectrum disorders as well as professionals who assess the efficiency of such practices.&lt;/p&gt;</jats:p
