ASHA Voices
Two SLPs Talk Autism and Positive Self-Concept
Today we look at ways SLPs can work with families to cultivate a strong sense of self in children with autism.
Of course, SLPs know the importance of helping a child with autism become empowered and believe in themselves, and today’s guests make that a priority.
SLPs Rachel Dorsey and Jessie Ginsburg share strategies and examples of ways to help foster this positive outlook with a strengths-based approach. They discuss the importance of word-choice and language when working with parents and how they address goal creation.
