Event Details
The ability to engage with others and to communicate are primary targets of early interventions for children with autism. This talk will focus on an early intervention model, JASPER, that has been tested using randomized controlled trials across multiple implementers (therapists, teachers, parents) with children at different ages and developmental levels. New research approaches to personalizing interventions will be addressed, emphasizing what research can contribute to clinical practice.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will be able to identify two specific targets of early intervention that are important to the development of autistic children.
- Participants will identify an effective approach for learning spoken language in children who are minimally verbal.
- Participants will identify a research method that aims to individualize interventions and better meet child needs.
- Participants will be able to describe two specific environmental strategies to set up a home or classroom environment to support children’s engagement and regulation
- Participants will be able to identify two toys that match the developmental play level of a specific child of their choosing
