Curious how to support autistic kids in speech therapy without trying to change how they play? This 17 min episode is for you! "Play and genuine playfulness—that is the context where learning, engagement and all the other things happen." I'm sharing a live Q&A on Instagram (@play.learn.chat) every day Mon-Fri this week (31st March - 4th April) - share a Q by DM or email me! Ask Qs about Neurodiversity Affirming Speech Therapy support for Autistic Children, or Qs about my course Affirming Communication for Autistic Children! In this session I'm answering Qs and sharing thoughts and examples about: • Why writing goals about changing a child's play is missing the point, and what to do instead • What Neurodiversity Affirming play support really looks like, including examples of better goal wording • Why adult goals should be part of kids' therapy plans, and how we can write progress notes that align with affirming practice To get deeper and more actionable support around these topics and more, join me in my course! The Affirming Communication for Autistic Children Course is NOW OPEN for enrollments! Doors close on Friday 4th April, 1pm Sydney time (AEDT) All the info is here: https://playlearnchat.com/acac-course/
