Your ideas are wonderful!! I’m motivated to head back and implement them with my students. Love the idea of incorporating articulation in something educational that they memorize. Thank you so much!!

Thank you💞

Thank you so much for this series! I’m an SLPA who struggles to come up with activities and this helps so much

Interesting.

I've been doubting my autism diagnosis from nearly the beginning (I feel my adhd is correct), and I had no clue this was another option since social communication is my worst trait. I don't fit in with other autistic people. I certainly have ADHD though. But social communication has been a problem since I was a kid. I was born with hearing issues (conductive deafness) which mostly resolved by adulthood. Trouble is I'm not sure how to approach a 2nd opinion since I was diagnosed on the NHS and I can't afford to go private. My mum and family were insistent they think it's autism but then my mum comes up with "you've never had routine in your life" the other day, Which threw everything into doubt again after I tried accepting. I'm not ashamed of the diagnosis, autism is a struggle for many, and sounds like this other is also an issue, but yeah this has really thrown me off.

You are so kind for sharing how you would target this is therapy. Thank you so so so much!

U can have autism without the repetetive part

Hi What’s the name of your speech helper book?

Would these kind of videos help someone with a speech implement??

+thegiftofgab *"Butterfly" lighting, a basic lighting used by photographers (and Yours Truly as a videographer), mitigates reflections.* Can be executed using two ring lamps.

Love your videos! I’m a CF in ECI! Very child based, very good with the flow. I’ve always been afraid of schools because of the lesson planning and structure. Do you create these plans or buy them? Thanks!

Thanks for the tips! My daughter is 7 and just started second grade. Her R sounds like W and S sounds like TH. We’re working together and have made some progress. Your videos are very helpful!

So helpful! Thank you!

I have autism. My god this is so hard. This skill is not easy and is overwhelming and isolation and frustration for me and others. You said step 1 is conversation and topic. I am still lost. Setp 2 is smile and looking at the person. I love your way not force eye contact. This is not easy for me because 1. I have a hard time with auditory processing and what you say is hard to do. The meaning of everything you say. Then have to understand and process it. Think about it. Plan and organize my responses. This takes time and isn't easy to plan, organize, problem solving and understand what I say and you're saying. Add looking at you is adding another struggle. I need to identify your emotions but I have no idea how you feel. Then your body language. Are you interested busy stress happy sad board frustration annoyed. Then have to hear your tone of voice. Now you lost me i cant understand what you say. Then a back and forth conversations can cause me frustration and meltdown. It sucks. I rather be alone. I always forget to smile and look at the person. I forgot they look at me as friendly and interested and caring when I do this. Step 3 is impossible. Ask questions. OK you said 2 topics. Recess and I don't remember before. But I will say 3 questions about resses. Why do you not like the noises and unstructured time in resses? What do you think about ways to make it easier for autistic people to enjoy interacting with peers in recess? Do you like holding on a weighted stuff animal or fidget spinner when you are at resses? .... My speech therapist is working on aac with conversations questions to show interest in others and asking questions about their interests and different things to ask about them. This is so hard and I need more help and organizing my aac to help me. I have found aac help me show interest and to express myself, ask for help, and I can listen to what they say, plan and organize my responses, and speak using my aac, and I can look at the person after I hit speak on my aac. Something I can't do myself. Also, please look at AVAZ aac because I can express my tone of voice to my emotion. I can say something like, no I don't like Cranberry Juice in a sarcastic tone. Or I can say you really want to help me understand things and accept me in a excited voice. Or I can say I poop my diaper I need help in a sad voice. When someone says wipe yourself. I can say I am scared of having a rash because every time I do this myself I don't clean properly. Then if they say do it anyway. I can say it is too hard to do myself and I need you to wipe me so I don't get a rash with a scared voice. Then if the still say no. I can say i feel frustrated with not getting help I need please help me in anger voice. I don't remember the word on my aac to this issue I have. But I found the folder in hospital for this my diaper changes as I often don't get help. I learned that you can't go on TH-cam to learn sarcastic and use angery voice. Like do you believe in the tooth fairy because you believe that I don't deserve help because you think I'm faking and being lazy. This makes the person angery and confused with my words and tone. Because of AVAZ aac app I can ask a question, be exciting, be sad, be scared, be mad, be sarcastic, and whisper in the tone of my emotions with what I say. I can't do this with my voice. It's gives me a way to express myself. I get less frustrated and csn show interest in others. I am homeless and need group home. I need a guardian. My dad abuse and neglect me. I get sad as I mask my disability and I can talk by repeat my right to safe discharge and health care and my symptoms and needs for help. I get frustrated in a hospital after aps or doctor send me to the hospital get placement. Then the hospital don't. I script the mental health law, health law for safe discharge, my ada, Obama care act, discrimination, and I need help and why. They don't understand this is script and a stim for function communication before a meltdown to ask for help. My speech therapist help me with its not safe or not comfortable with doing things or not getting help or able to shower or dress or cross the street. These are things I can say. Like who is going help change my diaper. Who's going to help me be safe when I elope from stress. Who's going to help me cook or shop. Who's going to give me my medications. Who's going to test my blood sugar. I can say it is not safe cross the street or i don't understand stranger danger or situational awareness and it's not safe without supervision. I am a diabetic and I need to test my blood sugar 4 times a day as I don't feel hungry and forgot to eat and need help planning and shopping and cooking meals. I take medications for my diabetes. It's not safe for me to take my medication myself because I don't remember and sometimes I may think I didn't take them and take it again. I have a hard time with understanding time and when to take my medication making my anxiety and pain meds I skip them as I don't know when to take my next dose. This is helpful. My speech therapist put a sticker she made for me stating ada and aac and I need wh information and yes no questions and I mask my disability by scripting information. Please accomidated and remind me to my aac. I have my communication and behavior plan on my home screen and speech assessment for medical orders and accommodations to help me. The behavior issues are a from of communication and it's not a choice or fit. Please call my speech therapist and her cellphone number. This way hospitals can't deny me. I have a Language level of a 12 year old.

For nigh onto four decades I's oblivious to internal, unconscious mental and emotional blocks that were eventually discovered (in my case, three decades post hoc) through a meta-analysis o' studies _galór_ on both autistic and allistic by Steven E. Gutstein PhD, who made it his mission to follow up the aforementioned Dr. Kanner in identifying and cataloguing neurodivergent adversities - blocks that not only derailed growth-seeking and prevented my learning relational fundamentals but also, upon seeing the disastrous effects o' controlled substances - but NOT before playing the fool o' Proverbs 7, for which I STILL hate myself - set me up for Legalistic Perfectionism, among whose symptoms are ANTalcoholism (viz., HARD aversion to addictive substances) and ANT'hedonía (viz., pain where there should be pleasure). I never developed senses of/for said emotional essentials due to said mental and emotional blocks presenting as a condition named 'üpothümía (Gk. ὑποθυμίας "insufficient emotion").

I feel some people are highly judgemental and will find small quirks in someone and and put them down ( judge ) just to feel better about themselves.

Love your videos! Especially the ones aimed at SLPs. Thank you and keep posting

Hello! I was wondering if you have summers and holidays off?

Pretty good.

Great. Improving my listening here with you from Brazil.

Thank you this was great! So many of the day in a life of slp show useless stuff like them making coffee and getting ready. lol like show us the actual work and preparation! Haha

Where did you get the storage bins for your mini erasers and artic flaschards?

Could you give some examples that you have found worked to increase buy in, please? I have found that some students are very content to be alone and self-reliant rather than hassle with other people

This helps me alot I been in speech therapy since I was a kid

Does an autodidact have autism?

I can’t help it, the tip of my tongue always raises subconsciously and does the usual retroflex R.

Do you have an email to connect me? I need private phonics classes. Thank you

trying to find activities for one of my students with ADHD (hes in PK)..many sound errors. thank you!

What about sensory issues? Say you have sensory issues, social communication issues, trouble recognizing and understanding emotions, restrictive interests, tendency to ruminate a lot, lots of trouble with transitions, trouble making decisions, trouble with your routine being interrupted, but generally no repetitive behaviors? Would that be SCD or ASD? What about the differences of males and females.

Very useful video thanks

My son was diagnosed with social pragmatic communication disorder , he is 3 yr old, he knows all the words but he chooses do not speak, the neurologist told me that I lot of kids are getting labeled w autism when it’s this disorder. I took him to get tested w a psychologist when I was told that he was autistic,but I wanted to take a second opinion and I m glad that I did,the neurologist told me totally different diagnosis.

Thank you so much for this video. I’m looking for ways to work in pragmatic language with my autistic son. He is high functional in academic subjects but he lacks of social skills. Definitely, I’m going to use your resources. Thank you again.

Hi Jessica, thank you for the videos, i find them very helpful. Also, Id like the picture cards. Would you know why I didn't get the email? Regardless, thank you again!

25 years old, diagnosed with ASD at 5 before SCPD was a thing, recently found out about it, now I have to rethink everything I ever knew about myself lol

Hey thanks!! you made it easy to understand ❤

They may not want to communicate with people they don't like or they choose communicate in their own way . Anyway , they don't feel painful , there is no problem . If they feel painful , they can ask for help in proper way .

I enjoyed this video very much . My son has a great speech therapist, but I want to do something more with him at home, for the extra support. Thank you!

Simply and clear for me to understand.

Good demo
