04 Jul 2023

Description

I'm sharing 8 key ways you can do Neurodiversity Affirming Therapy - You can find all of the points I discuss on the free PDF download here: Neurodiversity Affirming Speech Therapy Practices for SLPs supporting Autistic Children: https://playlearnchat.ck.page/76b2db1d09   Here are the 8 key practices that I encourage you to do, as a Neurodiversity Affirming Therapist:   Accept all forms of communication as valid - actions, gestures, sounds, signs, AAC, visuals Plan sessions around using child’s interests and motivating topics as the main activities Join the child (sometimes), playing in their way. Or let them play in their way solo Support the child to listen and attend to others in their own way Observe & use the child’s sensory preferences to build engagement and support their participation at all times Assess children using holistic tools and qualitative approaches that consider child & family perspectives & quality of life Set collaborative goals that are for the child’s benefit - leading to wellbeing and connectedness Set collaborative goals that are about changing the world around the child (other people, environments, expectations) to be most supportive   👩‍🎓 🌈 If you're a Speechie and you're keen to learn more with me, hop on the Waitlist for my upcoming course - Affirming Communication for Autistic Children!
