Autism Communication Strategies Speech Therapy for Toddlers and Preschoolers with Autism Laura Mize

Join Laura Mize, pediatric speech-language pathologist, for my new course, A Strengths-Based Approach for Helping Autistic Toddlers and Preschoolers Connect and Communicate. In this introductory video, I'm sharing my inspiration for shifting from deficits-focused to strengths-based treatment approaches for pediatric speech-language pathologists, parents, and other early intervention professionals including developmental specialists, Occupational Therapists, ABA therapists, and service coordinators. In this 4.5 hour course, I'll teach you how to spot strengths in autistic toddlers and preschoolers using a tool to select therapy goals and activities that encourage genuine connection and communication while honoring neurodiversity and aligning with current best practices. Over the last few years, “strengths-based” therapy has become one of the new buzzwords for those of us who work with autistic kids. But the problem is… even though it sounds great and it gets an easy buy-in from everyone, lots of us really don’t really know how to do it to develop autism communication strategies for speech therapy for toddlers and preschoolers with autism. In this course, we're sharing our new resources with step-by-step instructions for identifying (and celebrating!) a child's strengths so that you can build a comprehensive, cohesive treatment plan for your youngest autistic children in early intervention autism programs to help an autistic child talk and communicate.
