Beyond Eye Contact: Connecting with Young Pre-Verbal Children with ASD

Slide1

I’m super excited to announce my newest product:  Beyond Eye Contact: Connecting with Young Pre-Verbal Children with ASD!! 

Do you have a client/student with ASD on your caseload who is stumping you?  Are you feeling lost, confused, or overwhelmed by the fact that this client spends most of his/her time participating in stimulatory behaviors? Is your client unable or unwilling to verbally communicate?  Does your client seem to isolate him/herself from the outside world?  Then this product was made for YOU!

I created with product in response to numerous questions I have received via social media on how to work with non-verbal, minimally verbal, or pre-verbal children with ASD who do not seem to communicate with, respond to, or even acknowledge the presence of others.  The questions range from “How can I help this child communicate?” to “Help! What can I do to get this child to do something…anything with me?”

This product is based on 12 years of my clinical experience working with children with ASD, many hours spent reading various studies and textbooks, participation in a number of CEU courses and researching numerous therapy techniques and models.  Over the years, I have been able to streamline my approach with this population and have devised a straight forward 5 step plan in which to achieve that social connection!
