First Steps for the S-LP: The Infant-Toddler Showing At-Risk Signs for ASD (2015)

Présenté par Robin Gaines, Ph. D., O(C), CCC-SLP, membre OAOO

A visit to a speech-language pathologist (S-LP) may be the ‘first step’ in a family’s journey towards recognizing that their child has developmental differences in early social communication skills. The S-LP plays several roles as they work with the family.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will be able to:

  • identify stages/ages for typical social communication development in children under two years of age;
  • recognize the at-risk signs of ASD and understand how these signs may evolve for infants and toddlers, using video examples from Dr. Amy Wetherby’s work;
  • apply strategies for building a positive relationship to promote the family’s acceptance of future steps; and
  • identify first intervention goals and priorities for a family.
