How can I improve my translation skills?

Here is a passage of French: "La thérapie comportementale se concentrera sur l'enseignement des comportements appropriés à l'enfant autiste. Habituellement, cela inclut une forme de système de récompense. Les enfants apprennent à agir dans des contextes sociaux. Cette thérapie se fait souvent dans l'environnement familial de l'enfant."First, read the entire extract and see if you can work out the general meaning. Highlight words you don't understand and look at the words around them - does the context suggest anything about the meaning? If still can't work out the meaning, make an educated guess based on what you do understand. Always attempt the translation unaided before looking words up in the dictionary.
