Amazing! But how?


Why should I choose AIMS Online?
As mentioned, we have witnessed the increase in therapy
costs, the need for these therapies and the ultimate catch 22
that parents are facing.

We want parents to be in control of their own child’s therapy


program and the support they receive. We want you to see
the results in real-time while not being overcharged and
needing to go from one therapist to another. We have a few
goals in delivering the services via an online program:
● Affordable
● Quality ensured
● Practical
● Individualized programs
● Providing parents and professionals with
individual programs that are easily accessible

The latest research states that a child diagnosed with ASD


performs best (and progresses more) with a full-time
therapist or trained caregiver. AIMS Online has established,
through years of experience, that this trained person does
not need to be an expensive, charge-by-the-hour
professional. It can be an online therapist that provides the
therapy with the guidance of a helper, a nanny or YOU! We
want to provide you with the tools to be the expert we know
you are as well as provide you with the online support you
might require.
You have my attention. Let’s do this!

Why is this important?

Research states that individualized programs for children


diagnosed with ASD provide far more successful results than
a generic one. Makes sense, right – we are all unique and
need a personalized and very individualized approach.

What else can I receive via AIMS Online?

Oh, you have only started receiving the


goodness of a personalized, affordable, in-
home support resource. We have plenty
more to offer!

As mentioned before, we keep costs low – so here are the


different options for ongoing support:

Option 1: Personalized program:


This option provides you with ALL the resources you need for a personalized program that
you can implement easily at home. You can either train yourself to implement these DIY
strategies with the supplements and resources we provide, or you can sign up your nanny to
be trained to implement the program. The program will include:
1. One Page profile (which you have already completed!)
2. Communication profile (to help you understand your child’s mode of communication
and increase his or her need and want to communicate with you and others).
3. Behavioral profile (to determine which behaviors he or she exhibits and the reasons
for these. Also, some strategies to decrease the frequency of undesired behaviors
and increase the likelihood of more appropriate and adaptive behaviors).
4. Sensory profile (to establish your child’s sensory needs – which activities calm him or
her, which excite him or her and how to regulate between these).
5. Likes & dislikes profile (to ensure you work with your child’s interests to increase his
or her motivation to participate and willingness to learn).
6. Concepts and milestone data (to determine which areas he or she needs to work on
according to age-appropriate milestone data).
7. First few sessions program (this is a program that will guide you or someone you
want to get trained up to work with your child. It is a step-by-step guide to building
that positive rapport and starting “therapy” the right way – with a connection and
eagerness between you and your child).
8. Daily lesson plans (we provide you with lesson plans that will guide you every step of
the way to work on specific concepts in an “autism-friendly” and proven effective
manner).
9. Weekly tracking sheets (for you to keep up with all the progress your child will be
making).
10. Reports (at no additional cost will you receive a progress and ongoing report once a
month!)
11. You will get an online therapist assigned to your family for 1-2 hours per day, 5 days
a week! This therapist will be available to observe sessions that you (or the person
you have assigned to do sessions) do with your child, be available online for the
designated times to answer additional questions, help with filling out profiles or even
just to make sure you are confident in your abilities. We know that you can do this!

Now, usually all of the above will cost you your entire salary and it is an ongoing cost.
AIMS Online is offering ALL of these programs for an affordable cost of:

$1050 / month!

Think of the cost of a personalized program, training material, resources made by


professionals, ongoing reports and a therapist assigned to your family for a couple of
hours every weekday! We want to practically give this all to you without the financial
strain that we have witnessed parents are under when they have a child diagnosed with
ASD.
Option 2: PREMIUM SUPPORT SERVICES:
This is our most comprehensive support service. You not only receive everything
mentioned
above (personalized programs, ongoing reports and a therapist assigned to your
family), but ALSO exclusive access to one of our world-renowned supervisors
who you can send voice notes, videos and questions to on a
weekly basis! You will receive child-specific advice and strategies that you can
utilize
immediately. Your supervisor, hand-picked by yourself, will be by your side,
virtually, to
provide feedback, support and ideas whenever you need him or her!

So, a quick recap: with the premium service, you receive:

1. PERSONALIZED PROGRAM INCLUDING ALL THE DIFFERENT PROFILES,


TRACKING SHEETS, PROGRAMS AND LESSON PLANS EXPLAINED ABOVE
2. AN ONLINE THERAPIST ASSIGNED TO YOUR FAMILY TO HELP WITH GENERAL
SUPPORT
Sign me up for a PERSONALIZED
3. EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO YOUR OWN, PERSONAL SUPERVISOR FOR YOUR
CHILD’S PROGRAM. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEND AND RECEIVE VOICE NOTES,

VIDEOS, STRATEGIES AND IDEAS ON A WEEKLY BASIS.

We provide a platform for parents and professionals to send voice notes and videos – as
many as you want - to your personal supervisor. He or she will then reply every week for a
maximum of 75 minutes to these messages (reading, listening, watching and providing
feedback to the information received). There is a way to indicate if it’s an important request
and these will be attended to first. This means that you receive weekly support from your
supervisor together with all the other supportive resources from the personal program and
videos. This is how it
works – how
easy is that?!

This is really the crème de la crème of support services out there! And still, we are keeping
this affordable. You can have all of this for:

$1750 / month!

1.2 Communication and behavioral


profile
Why is it important to have a specific profile for your child
regarding the way they talk and act? Uhm, because it is two
of the most important and functional things we do – talk and
behave. This will give us insight into the way our child is
feeling, which is another (if not the most) important piece of
information we want to know about our child.

Guide:
You will be asked about various forms of modes of communication.
Although your child might be “verbal”, he or she might still
communicate more comfortably in another mode of communication –
let’s say through gestures. It’s very important to note down all the
different modes of communication as this will help you understand
seemingly challenging behaviors better.
Fill out as much detail as possible – remember you can print this
page and keep it for yourself as a reminder. We advise parents to be
their own judge here – what you want to show your child (placing it on
their walls) and what should be left in their personal file or folder.
You will also be asked about your child’s behaviors – be as detailed
as possible. We will then provide you with an ABC (Antecedent,
Behavior and Consequence) form, which will help you to determine
which behaviors elicit others and how to curb the ones that you find
are not the most effective for your child and his or her needs.
The best part? It will take you no longer than 10-15 minutes! Trust
us!

Let’s do this!

1.3 Sensory Profile

Why is it important to create a sensory profile for your child? The latest DSM-
V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Edition 5) has included sensory
dysregulation as part of the Autism Spectrum Disorder. This means that it is
extremely important to create your child’s specific sensory profile and provide
opportunities for the types of input he or she needs throughout the day.
Again, it’s a simple process and you will be surprised how fun these activities
are. Let’s connect and strengthen our bond with our children in a fun and
functional manner!

Guide:
You will receive a list of activities where you
can just tick the following options for each: “this
calms my child”, “this excites my child” or “this does
nothing for my child”.
Once we receive the information, we will
provide you with a tailor-made sensory profile that
can help you establish when to provide which types
of activities throughout the day. Remember, you
can always add similar activities to the list we
provide!
Let the games begin…

If we don’t know what our child likes, how will we be able to
include concepts and goals within his interests? That’s right
– we all learn more effectively when we are motivated by our
interests. Let’s find out if there are any that your child might
have that you were unaware of…

Guide:
Please fill out the following PINS (Preferences, Interests, Needs &
Strengths) assessment according to the various topics.
If you don’t know the answer to the question, leave it out.
Once you have completed the form, we will generate a
personalized Likes & Dislikes Profile for your child. Remember, it is up
to you if you want to place this profile where your child can see it or in
a file for him or her.
The goal of these personalized profiles is for us, as parents and
professionals to continuously be reminded of our child’s strengths and
interests and then to include “targets” utilizing these interests. We all
learn when we are interested and engaged.

1.5 Concept and milestone data

As professionals we usually receive many queries from


parents regarding their child’s current performance level and
“milestones” according to their neuro-typical peers. It is
important, yes, but we usually ensure our children are first
and foremost happy and engaged. If you implement the
profiles that you have created thus far, we are pretty sure
you will have a better idea of how to engage with any child
utilizing their interests throughout the day and adding many
(fun!) sensory activities.

Guide:
Please go through the questions and answer as accurately as
possible.
A behavioral therapist will usually tell you that a child “has
mastered” a concept (or specific target) once they can respond 80-
100% correctly without a prompt. We believe that our parents
know us best and you KNOW when your child has “mastered” a
specific target or goal. It doesn’t always take 10 trials to establish
this knowledge. We know you are the experts, so let your intuition
guide you.
Remember, you can always change your answers later and
receive a new profile!

Date of document completed:

I’m ready, let’s do this!


Concept and skill Yes No (not
(mastered) mastered)

A. Asking for a break, sensory breaks and movement breaks

1. Implementing and requesting breaks


1.1. Child starts showing an awareness of clear activities and breaks
being brought into sessions. Therapy partner to mention when you
are taking a break.
Example: “Okay, we are done with the game, let’s take a break.”
1.2. Child shows an understanding of the use of visual schedules to
indicate “work” times and “break” times.
1.3. Child shows an understanding of the meaning of a break.
Tell your Child you are taking a “break” when you stop working for
a while (use the word “break”).
1.4. Child becomes aware of the method used to request a break
(demonstrated by the therapy partner).
1.5. Child is able to request a break by handing the therapy partner a
visual “break” card when prompted to do so by the therapy
partner.
1.6. Child is able to request a break by handing the therapy partner a
visual “break” card when subtly prompted to do so by the therapy
partner.
1.7. Child is able to request a break when prompted to do so through a
visual prompt in close proximity to the Child.
*Please note that the Child can request a break by handing the therapy partner a visual break card,
saying a word or saying a phrase. Any mode of communication that the Child is comfortable with,
should be used.
2. Different types of breaks
2.1. Child is able to engage in an activity when prompted to do so by
the therapy partner, during a break.

swing; go for a walk…
2.2. Child is able to engage in an appropriate sensory activity during a
break, when prompted to do so by the therapy partner.
*Sensory input should be included as options of what to do during a break. If the Child is feeling
lethargic, exercises to excite him/her should be done. If the Child is feeling overwhelmed or too
excited, calming exercises should be implemented.
2.3. Child is able to engage in an appropriate movement activity during
a break, when prompted to do so by the therapy partner.
*Teach your Child that movement helps to keep our brains awake and ready to learn. Sitting down
without movement breaks for too long, affects our ability to focus.
2.4. Generalize to a variety of activities.
2.5. Generalize to other environments.

3. Teach signs to recognize when he/she needs a break


3.1. Child is able to stop what he/she is doing and take a break when
prompted to do so by the therapy partner.
3.2. Child becomes aware of signs that his/her body gives him/her that
he/she needs a break when these signs are pointed out by the
therapy partner.
*Look out for signs that he/she needs a break (do they start to fidget more; do they lose focus; do
they get aggressive)
3.3. Child is able to recognize signs that he/she needs a break when
prompted to do so by the therapy partner and then requests a
break when prompted to do so by the therapy partner.
3.4. Child is able to recognize signs that he/she needs a break when

a break when prompted to do so by the therapy partner.
3.5. Child is able to recognize signs that he/she needs a break and then
requests a break when prompted to do so by the therapy partner.
3.6. Child is able to recognize signs that he/she needs a break and then
requests a break independently.
3.7. Generalize to other environments.
3.8. Generalize to other people.

sights, smells, sounds or sensations.
2. Perspective taking
2.1. Emotional perspective taking

1.6 First few sessions

So, we are almost ready to start implementing all we have


created into fun, exciting sessions with your child. As you
know innately and by now following our program – building a
positive and trusting relationship is your first goal (with any
child). Have a look at the “first few sessions” template and
print as many as you want before we start including more
goals into your “sessions”.

Guide:
Fill out each document for each day. We will
guide you along the way.
You can print these documents and add it into
your child’s folder (or save it online).
Remember you can always return and fill out the

First Few Sessions Template
First few sessions ideas and guidelines:

*Please note this is a basic program to support you in your sessions with your child. It
should be tailored to each specific child’s interests, needs and personality, which you will be
able to do with the supported documents already received.
This is NOT a tracking sheet.  You will receive a different form to keep track of progress,
once a working (and very positive) relationship has been established.

1.7 Lesson Plans

A lesson plan is always a good idea. It doesn’t need to take a


lot of time to create an individualized lesson plan before each
“session”. We are going to help you create a unique one for
each session in a couple of minutes, whilst you have your
coffee!

Guide:
We actually don’t believe that you need a guide for each form as
you probably have noticed by now that building a program for your
child can be easy and fun given the right resources.
We do however want to encourage you to think creatively when
thinking of the activities you are planning for each session. Take it
all in and bring it together - all the probing (testing out) of likes,
dislikes, sensory needs, strengths, needs, interests, etc. Now is your
time to take what you have learnt and Google the rest! We joke, but
this is in many cases true. We, as professionals many times will
utilize excellent advice that is usually for free on Google and add
these activities when we are working on a specific concept. Don’t
stress – we are going to guide you as we build our very first lesson
plan together!

“break card” or say “break” and then show
him or her the visual choice board of activities
he or she likes. Once an activity is chosen,
engage in this activity until you observe your
child becoming more self-regulated.
Remember that if your child seems lethargic
when you start your session, you can do high-
energy activities. If your child seems too
energetic, you want to suggest calming
activities. Refer to your Sensory Profile for a
list of activities to choose from.

1.8 Weekly Tracking


We are aware that it is important to track progress. We are also
aware of how this might interfere when done throughout your time
with your child. How easy it is to break that special moment due to a
“must-do” tracking sheet that has to be filled out after “each trial”.
Thus, we have, with experience and research-based interventions
developed a better plan – daily lesson plans and weekly tracking. It is
scientifically proven to be just as effective as trial-by-trial tracking. It
also makes more sense – we track what we observe and not just
what we have to complete (a set of trials).

Guide:
We are going to provide you with a template of a weekly
tracking sheet. The way you fill this out is to go to your Concept and
Milestone data sheet and choose the most appropriate goals for that
concept.
Remember, each concept is broken down into easy-to-difficult
targets or goals. Thus, you will start from the top and work your way

down.
The important thing to note about the number of trials is that
we don’t advocate for 10 trials to be done each time with any child.
It is up to you, as you are the expert of your own child, to determine
the amount of trials your child requires.
The way you score the percentage is also easy – a prompted
(where you help your child) response or an incorrect one are both

General comments throughout the week:


Now, if your child scores above 75% we believe that he or
she has mastered the specific target. Choose the next target
and remember to check (every now and then) if your child
still retains the understanding of the previous target for that
specific concept.

I did it! How do I report on this now?

1.9 Ongoing Reports

You know those overly expensive reports that you always


“need” from each professional? We want to let you write
your own and provide these for meetings with pediatricians
or other service providers, such as Speech therapists,
Occupational therapists and schools.

Guide:

We know it sounds intimidating, but you have already completed most of the
program by yourself and following this guide! You’re on fire!
Creating a report can be easy – if you know what you need to add and how to add
these. We want you to go back to your data – the Concepts and Milestones data as
well as any notes you have made on your Weekly Tracking sheets.
Include the current goal from the Concept and Milestone data in your “Long term
goal” section.
Now break this up into a goal that you know your child will be able to reach that
might be a smaller step towards the bigger goal (for example, if your long-term goal is
to ask for a break vocally, your short-term goal can be to hand you a “break” card or
say a word, such as “go”).
The fun part is finding strategies that will help your child reach these goals. Go wild
– Google for some interesting and “out there” ideas. We highly recommend “Pinterest”
for fun, sensory-based ideas or Montessori websites.
The date for the current goal to be reached should be two weeks to a month from
when you implement the goals. Remember though, some goals can be “ongoing” as
we can’t force a child to reach a goal “on time”.
If you need more ideas though – we are always here for you! Click here if you need
an entire folder of FREE material that we have compiled through the years. You’re
welcome ;)

WELL done! You have completed your very first Individual
Educational Plan! We told you it’s easier than you think…

Remember, you can (and should) always go back to previous


sections – you are subscribed for a year – so we recommend
you redo all of your child’s profiles at least every two months.
These profiles change and we want to be prepared for these
changes. One day his or her favorite toy might be a dinosaur
and the next it’s going up and down the escalator. Who
knows? We just need to be prepared for new and exciting
activities that we can create with our children.

Oh, the places you will see and the experiences you will find
together! Happy playing x
Please remember to send through feedback by
emailing us at hello@aimsglobal.info.

Next up, is the PREMIUM SUPPORT – this includes


it all, the IEP, an online therapist assigned to your
family as well as personal and private contact with
a supervisor specifically assigned to your child and
family. Ready for this? We are!
2. PREMIUM SUPPORT
We are honored to provide you with the top-quality
support you deserve! Just to recap what you receive
with this option:

1. An IEP (Individual Educational Plan) program that is


tailor-made for your child. With the premium
option, you also receive exclusive access to online
I am a PREMIUM CUSTOMER
support throughout this process.
2. An online therapist assigned to you to help you
through the IEP and to be available online to
answer basic questions and observe “therapy”
sessions that you have with your child (if and when
you want him or her to do so).
3. Finally, you receive access to a platform where you
can choose your own, a personal supervisor that
will go through the data you complete about your
child. You will also have the opportunity to post
videos in a secure access portal for your supervisor
to go through, make suggestions and provide
strategies to put in place. You will also be able to
send voice notes of any issues or questions you
might have during sessions, before or after! Your
personal supervisor will reply each week and will
attend to videos, voice notes or messages marked
“urgent” first. She or he will have a limited time to
respond each week, but will ensure that all urgent
information is attended to first. Replies will be sent
on the same platform and you will be notified when
this happens.
4. Supervisors and online therapists work closely
together and therefore your online therapist would
be able to help you include strategies and
suggestions from your supervisor into your daily
lesson plans.

Let’s get to it then
