All Communication is Valid: Why it Might be Hard for an Autistic Child to Speak


Listen Later

We're tucking in to this idea that All Communication is Valid. Busting the ableist bias that speech is the best way of communicating. In this episode I share some of the reasons why it might be hard for an autistic child (or anyone!) to speak. More non-speech might be needed when…
  • Speech skills are hard for someone (physical/motor skills or motor planning)
  • Language skills are hard
  • The content of language in that situation is complex
  • Emotions are heightened
  • They're experiencing sensory dysregulation
  • The situation is new
  • The situation is less preferred
  • Other people around aren't familiar, connected or trusted
  • Whenever someone wants!
Speech isn't the end goal... Communication & relationship is! Learn more with me about this topic and many others! Professionals: My next Neurodiversity Affirming Practice 2-hour online Intro Workshop: https://playlearnchat.com/neurodiversity-affirming-practice-intro-workshop/
