Autism Care Partners’ Post

Tonight it’s not lifts, and it’s not Bridleways. Tonight I am completing another assessment as part of my Autism Awareness qualification. One unit to go after this. It’s good to remind myself what it’s like to study. I am completing this qualification as a piece of interest based learning. I am developing a real interest for neurodiversity and the more I learn about it, the more I can see it, and the more important I think it is to screen for it to support those with challenges and provide equal opportunities. How do you keep your lifelong learning up? #lifelonglearning #anotherassessment #autismawareness #equalopportunities

"Play provides a context for a diverse set of naturally occurring learning opportunities that are social in nature (June and Sainato, 2013)." We need to be 100% FOCUSED in our sessions so that we can teach through play. Are we following our learner's lead or demanding that they PLAY a certain way? Are we there to support them in their play and communication growth? Have you seen others who may need this as a reminder??? Share and spread the word. #appliedbehavioranalysis #speechtherapy Reference: Jung and Sainato (2013) Teaching play skills to young children with autism. Journal of Intellectual and Developmental Disability, 38(1), 74-90.

As summer approaches 🏖 , it's a great time for educational leaders to reflect on the impact of early intervention programs for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Research underscores the effectiveness of such programs, particularly when implemented for at least two years before schooling begins. These initiatives are crucial in enhancing communication, social, and cognitive skills, paving the way for many children to integrate into regular educational settings. 🏫 #EarlyIntervention #ASD #Education #CentralReach #Teachers #Specialeducation #Classroom

Communication skills are vital for social interaction. Individuals with autism often struggle with social communication, including understanding social cues, maintaining conversations, and interpreting non-verbal communication. Teaching communication skills can help them engage more effectively in social interactions, fostering relationships and reducing feelings of isolation.
