Klappentext

Step-by-step guide to conduct more effective speech therapy sessions for autistic clients

If you're tired of therapy sessions that don't feel productive, Say It With Me is your step-by-step guide to effective intervention that addresses the common frustrations and questions faced by speech therapists working with autistic students and other communication differences. Written by veteran speech therapist and BCBA Rose Griffin and drawing on her twenty years of experience and strategies, this book emphasizes naturalistic teaching strategies and includes exercises that students can practice at home as well as real-life stories from Griffin's own career.

Readers will find insights on:

• Various standardized and informal assessments to help readers gather a plan to start implementation and training for a student who is not yet speaking
• Strategies for creating engaging activities and fostering social communication skills using books, music, and play to increase a student's social engagement in therapy
• Assessment and goal setting for initial skills development, helping therapists prioritize essential communication skills based on individual needs
• Ways to understand the function of challenging behavior and implement positive behavior supports
• Frameworks for providing fun and functional group therapy, which is popular in school-based settings

Say It With Me earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of all SLPs, BCBAs and RBTs working in various settings including schools, clinics, and private practice.
