📣 READ THIS!!!!

We need to give kids access to AAC (augmentative & alternative communication) early on if they are having difficulty speaking. Many parents are against these alternate methods of communication because they are 1) understandably worried about their child’s future, but also 2) are misinformed that AAC will prevent their child from verbally communicating. It’s our job as SLPs to help parents understand that COMMUNICATION is the goal in therapy and also that research suggests AAC actually increases the likelihood of verbal speech. This is my favorite analogy that helps the concept “click” for many parents- don’t just let them be, give them tools to help them be successful communicators!

For those of us with nonverbal/pre-verbal kiddos...

“Hearing” our children requires so much more than just “listening.”

The interpretation of non-verbal cues plays an integral role in our communication.

Our children will speak to us in a way they can understand.

It is our job to “listen” in a way that WE can understand.

Ok, so this is an extremely over-generalized statement, so let me explain 🤣🤣

I say this A LOT when talking to parents who are very surprised by an autism assessment referral or autism diagnosis. Why? Because the majority of the population has an incorrect stereotypical idea of what autism is. They think it means nonspeaking, or anti-social, zero eye contact, meltdowns, toe walking, lining up toys, etc. When in truth, this may appear true for some but is not representative of the spectrum as a whole. Every autistic person will have the same core characteristics (differences in language, socialization, and restricted interests/repetitive behaviors) - but the differences in those areas often do not present in the way many people think they do. I also say this to most people when talking about girls- they are different than you’d expect, and it’s really important to step away from what we think we know about autism and look at it from a whole new lens.

Autism can be a scary word when people don’t really understand what it is. But autism does not mean not intelligent, it doesn’t mean they won’t be “ok” or aren’t going to be “fine”. It’s not less than. It’s just different.
