Description:
This webinar will present an organizational framework for planning AAC intervention that maximizes communication for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The course will present strategies to support children with ASD and their communication partners, including clinicians, parents, and teachers. The speaker will define the “mask of attention” for children with ASD; discuss factors that contribute to the challenge of looking behind this mask to increase communication, and demonstrate how to plan and organize a goal-driven AAC intervention session.
Learning Objectives:
You will be able to:
• describe a framework for analyzing the communication behaviors of a child with ASD to determine strengths and needs
• document the factors contributing to the perception of inattention in a child, and determine an action plan to support communication and participation
• create measurable AAC goals to maximize the participation of children who use AAC with communication partners across environments
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
