Strategies to Increase Regulation & Communication in Your Autistic Students

WEBINAR / COURSE DETAILS

A deep understanding of sensory processing is integral to our work with autistic children. In order to target our communication goals in the most effective way possible, our students need to be regulated. This presentation will inspire a new way of thinking about the SLP’s role in addressing sensory needs. Attendees will walk away with new ideas for integrating sensory strategies into their sessions in order to improve attention, build engagement, and increase communication.
