Social Communication: Supporting Development From Before Words Through Conversational Stages In Our Autistic Learners

This workshop will illustrate how the SCERTS® framework can help identify goals for learners on the autism spectrum as well as your role as interactive partners across different developmental stages.

As we support developmental capacities at the different stages (communicating pre-symbolically, emerging language to conversational levels), the important role of the interactive partners in providing transactional support will be highlighted.

This virtual format is interactive, and participants will have the opportunity share ideas, ask questions, and learn from one another.

• Identify tools for writing evidence-based goals that include the role of the interactive partner for pre-symbolic communicators (children communicating with body language, gestures, and facial expressions),
• Identify tools for writing evidence-based goals that include the role of the interactive partner for emerging language communicators (children communicating with speech, picture symbols, sign language or other symbolic systems),
• Identify tools for writing evidence-based goals that include the role of the interactive partner conversational communicators.
