Please explain a detailed "ADVOCACY & POLICY" content to the workplace plan below: 

WORKPLACE PLAN:

One way is to increase the amount of time devoted to individual therapy sessions. This can be done by scheduling more individual therapy sessions, or by lengthening the duration of each session (Koegel & Koegel, 2006). 

 Another way to increase practice time is to provide opportunities for practice outside of formal therapy sessions. This can be done by providing materials and opportunities for practice at home, or in other settings such as school or daycare (Smith, Klorman & Mruzek, 2015).

Finally, it is important to ensure that all members of the treatment team are aware of the importance of providing adequate practice time and are working together to provide consistent opportunities for practice. It is important to note that each child with autism is unique and will require individualized planning to address their specific needs. This plan will be designed in collaboration with the child's parents or caregivers and should be adapted as needed to ensure that the child is making progress (Normandin, Coffey, Benotti & Doherty, 2018). 

By following the guidelines below, I can ensure that the child with autism has adequate practice time during group ABA therapy, and can make progress in their learning and skills acquisition:

• The following workplace plan is designed to provide a solution to the problem of inadequate practice time for children living with autism during group ABA therapy.
• Schedule group ABA therapy sessions during times when the child will be able to have the most uninterrupted practice time. This may be early in the morning or later in the evening, when other children in the therapy group are not present.
• Give the child ample time to practice the skills being taught during group ABA therapy. This may mean lengthening the therapy session or scheduling more frequent sessions.
• Make sure that the child is adequately supported during practice time. This may involve providing a one-on-one aide or ensuring that the child is working with a therapist who is familiar with their individual needs.
• Modify the practice activities to meet the child's needs. This may involve simplifying the task or breaking it down into smaller steps.
• Encourage the child's participation in practice activities by using positive reinforcement. This may involve praising the child for their efforts or providing them with a small reward for completing the task.
