SLPs helping children with autism communicate: Sharing interests to build social connections

Kelli works with children of all ages in her private practice. Therapy with children who have a diagnosis of autism includes treating issues that may co-occur with ASD, such as apraxia of speech. Kelli incorporates the child's interests and strengths into her sessions, while using evidence-based practices such as video modeling to improve social communication skills. She guides parents and siblings to help the child with ASD be able to better communicate outside the clinic space with the important people in their lives.
