6 Tips for successful learning and play while supporting an autistic child or teen.

LIVE WEBCAST: Challenging Behaviour in Classic Autism – 19 November 2021

Challenging behaviour, including hitting, kicking, pushing, shouting, biting, head banging, and other forms of self-injury, is distressing for the autistic person and their families and people who work with them.

These behaviours can result in several social problems, including unsafe home, school and work settings, exclusion from school and community events, and burn-out for parents, carers and professionals.

The course will equip participants to understand the reasons behind the challenging behaviour to working hypotheses that will meaningfully inform a positive behavioural support plan. Participants will learn practical strategies to assist in developing communication tools, teach new behaviours effectively, encourage good social outcomes, accommodate sensory sensitivity, and manage strong emotions.

Topics Covered
• Strategies to develop communication skills for those who have limited speech
• The learning profile associated with classic autism and strategies to encourage the acquisition of academic and daily living skills
• The effects of social experiences and facilitating social engagement
• The sensory profile of autism and how to accommodate sensory sensitivity
• The signs of increasing anxiety, anger or despair and how to manage and moderate emotional reactions

Late Talkers vs Language delay 🤔

Late talkers are toddlers that are otherwise developing typically but are delayed in their language development. Late talkers generally have good understanding of what is being said to them (e.g. following simple instructions) and have appropriate social skills (e.g. play skills) but struggle to express themselves due to having a limited vocabulary. They are considered to be late talkers if they are using less than 50 words and are not joining words together (e.g. eat cookie) by 2 years.
Most children who are late talkers usually are at the expected level of language by 4 years if there are no other developmental or cognitive issues. However, some children have been found to fall behind their peers in language due to being a late talker. These children who fall behind enter school with delayed language skills which can be later diagnosed as language delay or disorder depending on the severity.

If you are concerned about whether your child is late to talk or has language difficulties, it is beneficial to get an assessment done by a speech pathologist to check if their communication development is on the right track or the speech pathologist can provide some strategies to boost their skills to get them ready for school. Please message us on Facebook or email us at [email protected]. We have no waiting list!

What is Play-Based Therapy? 🧸

Speech Pathologists use various toys and activities to target specific communication skills, known as play-based therapy. We create opportunities for the child to practice the target skill in a fun environment. Play based therapy provide motivation for the child to engage and communicate using items that they like.
The development of play is also important for overall cognitive, communication and motor skills. There are 5 stages the children progress through.
• Stage 1: Solitary play (Birth-2 years)
The child is playing by themselves, not really interested in
playing with other children yet

• Stage 2: Onlooker play
They start to watch other children playing, but do not join in

• Stage 3: Parallel Play (2+ years)
When the child plays alongside other children, but isn’t
actually playing with them

• Stage 4: Associative play (3-4 years)
The child starts to play with others but still playing by
themselves sometimes

• Stage 5: Cooperative play (4+ years)
The child is playing with others frequently and takes interest in
the game as well as what other children are doing.

If you feel that your child is a little behind or is not doing any of the above for their age, then please book an assessment with us. We can efficiently assess your child and let you know how they are progressing with strategies on how to help them. We have no waiting list so message us on Facebook or email us at [email protected].
