Improving Speech and Language Skills for Individuals with Autism

This webinar will focus on what families can do to help improve speech and language skills for their loved one with autism. Ms. Herskowitz will introduce a hierarchy to determine what stage of language the individual is currently in, provide goals for each one of those stages to help move the individual to the next one, as well as provide learning materials available to accomplish this.
