Detailed Description The IGS Curriculum was developed to be used in Applied Behavior Analysis educational programs for young children with autism and related disorders. Unlike curricula utilized in most schools, it serves not only as an educational tool, but also as an administrative tool designed to assist in the development and monitoring of individual child programs by facilitating management and supervision of programs. In addition, the curriculum provides a mechanism for continuous evaluation of child progress in achieving goals.
The intent of the curriculum is not to constrain the user by requiring rigid teaching sequences but to be an extensive reference which would enhance the choice of effective teaching strategies. Goals are typically selected from several areas and instruction across areas occurs in a parallel fashion. The continuity of tasks in different areas provides a safeguard for the maintenance of these particular skills and behaviors. The I.G.S. Curriculum contains 18 Areas of development including Maladpative Behavior, Speech, Express/Receptive Language, Social Skills, Reading, Life Skills, Emotional and Self-Control Development, among others. The Areas are subdivided to specify the process and sequence of goal attainment by Level, Stage, and Task. There are approximately 2,000 individual tasks presented.
Therefore, the curriculum is intended as a guide for the selection of appropriate goals in accordance with the individual needs and life circumstances. It is not expected that all children should master all tasks, nor that any given task or instructional sequence is appropriate for each child. The sequences of development presented are not to be rigidly followed, but serve as a framework to determine appropriate sequencing for each child.
