00:00This morning, we will discuss the role of Applied Behavior Analysis

00:05in providing support to people with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

00:08But before that, let's watch this first.

00:12In the Philippines, there are still many misconceptions about autism.

00:18But, little by little, more and more families and communities

00:22are starting to become aware and supportive of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

00:28From programs to support groups,

00:31the level of awareness and acceptance is increasing.

00:33Likewise, around the world,

00:35different countries are continuing to invest in research and therapy

00:39that can help people with autism

00:42to have a better quality of life.

00:45One of the most important methods used in treating and understanding autism

00:51is Applied Behavior Analysis

00:53Through ABA,

00:55it is easier to understand the needs of each individual

01:00and it helps them to have more opportunities

01:04to succeed in society.

01:06It is also important for us to continue to help and share knowledge

01:10to improve the condition of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder,

01:15not only in the Philippines, but also around the world.

01:19That's why this morning,

01:20let's find out what is the most important approach

01:23in Applied Behavior Analysis

01:25for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder

01:28here in Rise and Shine Philippines.

01:33And to explain to us the important information about this,

01:36we will have the Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Ms. Madeline Marcon.

01:41Good morning and welcome here in Rise and Shine Philippines, Ms. Madeline.

01:45Hi, good morning, Fifi. Good morning, Dayan.

01:48We heard that she's from PTV.

01:50Yes, this is my second time guesting here.

01:53Welcome back, ma'am. Thank you so much for being with us this morning.

01:56And also congratulations for being the best morning show.

01:59Yes, thank you.

02:00It's a pleasure to be here.

02:03Thank you also for joining us today.

02:04Alright, first of all, let's talk about Autism.

02:07How does it differ from other neurodevelopmental disorders, ma'am?

02:11Okay, there's not even a Tagalog word for Autism.

02:17So, it's new, right?

02:19A lot of people are still unaware of what Autism is.

02:22But most people say it's just abnormality,

02:27the way they would describe it.

02:30But that's different. It's a spectrum.

02:33That's why it's called Autism Spectrum Disorder.

02:36It goes from here to there.

02:38It's like there are deep issues or impairments,

02:44and there's light.

02:46But one of the traits is that they don't have eye contact.

02:51They have a world of their own.

02:53They don't just play with other kids.

02:57They play with toys.

03:01And they can be easily overstimulated.

03:04Okay.

03:05Yes, that's why you can see that they melt down easily.

03:08But in terms of research, ma'am, what are the developments in terms of that?

03:15Here in the Philippines and also in the foreign context.

03:19That's why we're introducing ABA.

03:22Because ABA is the one who leads the research.

03:25It's almost like 50 years of research.

03:30That's why it's leading.

03:32That's why in the United States, that's the number one, most recommended treatment plan for ABA.

03:38In fact, since 2001,

03:41there's only one state that provides insurance.

03:44Until it kept growing, until all over the United States,

03:48there's already insurance for ABA, which is very good.

03:52And the reason why I am here is because

03:55I really love the model that they have for ABA in the United States.

04:00Because it's not just the kids who look after them.

04:02They do care for the caregivers and the families.

04:05Because they're the ones who take care of them.

04:08So if you don't take care of the caregivers or family members,

04:12mothers, they're overwhelmed.

04:14As I'm saying, you cannot pour from an empty cup.

04:17If you don't take care of the parents and families,

04:20if you don't see through them,

04:22how will you be able to provide proper treatment to the child?

04:27Okay.

04:28So this ABA, has it been introduced here in our country?

04:33Yes, it has.

04:34How wide is its reach?

04:37That I have to find out.

04:39Okay.

04:40That I have to find out.

04:41I don't know how wide it is.

04:42But I'm sure there are other, there are therapies already.

04:46Okay.

04:47But you know, what I see as a problem is

04:51the diagnosis is on a long waiting list.

04:57It's like, kids, you will have to wait for like 6 months

05:01before being diagnosed.

05:02Now, if there's no diagnosis,

05:04the problem is because there's no therapy.

05:06Because it's the doctors that, you know,

05:08endorse or recommend therapy.

05:10So, along the line,

05:12the parents who are waiting,

05:14they just don't know what to do.

05:16And it's extraordinary or alarming

05:22the traits of such a child.

05:24How do you help them?

05:25So that's the reason why I'm here,

05:27is because I do appreciate the model that we have in the U.S.

05:32that also looks at the needs of the caregiver.

05:37And so, that's why we have a seminar coming

05:42to address those issues too.

05:44Not just the disability per se,

05:47but what caregivers can do.

05:49Okay.

05:50ADA may sound a bit technical, right?

05:53But in the layman's perspective,

05:55how can people understand

05:57how important this ADA is?

05:59You're telling us it's all about the caregivers,

06:01the family members,

06:03and also people with autism.

06:05So, on a very layman's perspective,

06:07just to give us an introduction,

06:11can you tell us about this?

06:13Okay.

06:14One good word for that is scientific.

06:16Okay.

06:17ADA is a scientific method and approach

06:20to treating kids with autism.

06:23Now, when I say treatment,

06:24there's no total cure.

06:26Okay.

06:27You can reduce the behaviors that you don't want

06:31and you can develop good behaviors

06:33so that they can be part of society.

06:36So, ADA is a treatment plan

06:41that has 50 years of research.

06:44That's why doctors in the United States

06:46prescribe that.

06:47I've been using this.

06:48And it's very nice

06:49because their treatment plan

06:51provides 40 hours of treatment

06:54for kids.

06:56And that's really good

06:57because you're engaging the kid.

06:59You know, a child with autism

07:00will not go to you and talk to you.

07:02Okay.

07:03So, you talk to them

07:05so that, in a way,

07:06there will be exchanges and interactions

07:09that will be healthy for them.

07:11And that's what we need to do.

07:13We don't leave them in the corner.

07:16Okay.

07:17So, it's easy to integrate this

07:18into the Philippines, ma'am?

07:19Yes, of course.

07:21It may sound so scientific,

07:23but it has practical ways.

07:25So, for example,

07:26if I'm going to teach

07:27in the seminar

07:28in scientific terms,

07:29I believe that we can translate this

07:32into actions.

07:35Okay.

07:36It's just a term that's difficult.

07:38Okay.

07:39But it can be explained

07:41and it can be done.

07:42Okay.

07:43So, in terms of resources

07:44and maybe people

07:46and expertise,

07:48how can this be integrated in the Philippines?

07:51We won't have a shortage.

07:53Okay.

07:54Okay.

07:55I think the first solution there

07:56is awareness.

07:57We need to be very aware.

07:59And our program,

08:00there should be government programs

08:02to look into this.

08:04Because as I told you,

08:07the problem...

08:08By the way,

08:09I should say that

08:10there are 75 million people

08:12all over the world

08:13with autism now.

08:15In the Philippines,

08:16the recent research says

08:17one is to 100.

08:19In the US,

08:20one is to 36.

08:22Now, you have that very high numbers.

08:24The problem is,

08:25it's diagnosed.

08:27How can it be non-diagnosed?

08:29Yes.

08:30And you still have those problems, right?

08:33So, we need to look into that.

08:36We shouldn't neglect that

08:38because it's very difficult.

08:39I know if you are a mom

08:40or a family member

08:42of a child with autism,

08:43it's very overwhelming.

08:46In the first place,

08:47you don't understand the behavior.

08:48And so, I'm wearing this.

08:49Okay.

08:50This shirt.

08:51It says...

08:52All behavior is a form of communication.

08:56Yes.

08:57So, you must understand

08:58what that behavior is.

09:00That's why it's being studied.

09:01So, going back to ABA,

09:03ABA is being studied.

09:05There are laws of behaviorism

09:08that became the basis of this treatment.

09:10Will ABA also help

09:12to remove the stigma

09:14for people with autism?

09:16That's a very nice question

09:17because I would like to say

09:19there is autism in every one of us.

09:21Okay.

09:22That's what I realized.

09:23Sometimes, we have our own world.

09:26Sometimes, we just want to go to a corner

09:29and just...

09:30We don't want to get confused at some point.

09:32But to some level,

09:34children with autism

09:35already have significant problems.

09:38Their levels.

09:40Okay.

09:41So...

09:42Okay.

09:43Do you have an upcoming seminar?

09:44Do you have an upcoming...

09:45Yes.

09:46Please do invite our viewers.

09:47Yes, we do.

09:48On Friday.

09:49Okay.

09:50It's coming Friday and Saturday.

09:51And I'm looking into inviting

09:56not only therapists,

09:58teachers,

10:00but also parents

10:02because they are the frontline.

10:05And I'm hoping my vision is

10:08someday,

10:09they will become trainers

10:11when they become experts

10:13in their children.

10:15Oh.

10:16You know, I mean,

10:17the rate that cuts the problem

10:19is the shortage.

10:21Our shortage is not that bad.

10:23I hope that the treatment

10:27and the perspective

10:29of people with autism

10:32can be improved

10:33so that more people can be diagnosed

10:34and be helped.

10:35Yes, because it's like...

10:37It's happening, right?

10:39Or some people are just being denied.

10:41But...

10:42The rate of autism is already high.

10:44So, I believe

10:46it's just going to be normalized.

10:49Maybe.

10:50Alright.

10:51Yes.

10:52Thank you so much

10:53for sharing with us

10:54important information

10:55about applied behavior analysis

10:57for people with autism spectrum disorder.

11:00Ms. Madeline Marcon,

11:01thank you so much.

11:02Hey, thanks for having me.

11:04Welcome back once again.
