About Guillermo

I graduated with a BS in applied math from The Ohio State University, but I soon realized I was a person's person, not a machine or lab lover. Thus, I switched my life direction and joined the Florida International University Developmental Psychology PhD program, where I became a certified behavior analyst. I went to work with special populations. My job consisted of training parents, teachers, and experts to improve their work with their clients. I developed other programs with normal populations, such as teaching insecure children to thrive socially, and help deaf adults communicate with developmentally delayed adults.
For many years I developed educational and physical programs for special populations. Each program was uniquely adapted to the skills and limitations of the trainee, as well as the skills and limitations of the trainers. The trainers were teachers, speech therapists, physical therapists, musicians, and karate and yoga instructors. Some of these trainers were very high-level in their fields, like Jimmy Wong, three time World Champion in karate.
I always adapt to my student's needs to offer them what is best for them.

Autism is a disorder that affects emotions and sensory experience. However, it is very often comorbid with intellectual impairment and or developmental delays. No two autistic children are alike. planning a standard lesson plan to teach autistic people is futile. In my experience, most autistic students end up learning less than 10% of what they could have learned. The reason for this is that schools take them to a higher level before they have learned the current one. After a few steps over where they really are, the children can not continue learning anymore from the program.
In most cases, when I start teaching an autistic student, I test going backwards to where they stop failing. Then, I dismantle the cognitive process that prevented the child from moving forward. For instance, many children are pushed into reading before they know quickly and readily every single letter. Some children are pushed to addition when they cannot quantify. Quantification means looking at a number of objects and understand what the number means. Most people can easily readily see 7 to 10 objects and relate them to another group of less than 10 objects, but we do that because we learned it. If we skip this, we cannot understand math at all.
There are many areas in which some autistic people are hindered. Part of the problem is that autistic people sense the world differently. For this reason, they feel everything differently. Therefore, when other people react to stimuli, autistic people don't understand the reaction. This in turn results in an undeveloped ability for referencing. So, while the rest of us learn from watching others respond, autistic people learn to connect to the world on their own. The ramifications of this process keep increasing as the child grows. Most school settings are not prepared to train autistic children by looking in depth into the experience of the autistic person. I look for ways to enter their world and become part of it. Then, I use behavior analysis (contingency management) to help the child concentrate and stay on task during the lessons, and task analysis to break down the lessons in segments that let the child learn while enjoying the class.
