Old way/New way - Upgrading to Neurodiversity Affirming Strategies for Autistic Children

Old way/New way - Upgrading to Neurodiversity Affirming Strategies for Autistic Children

I'm sharing 3 strategies that we need to leave in the past, and 3 strategies that are more aligned with a Neurodiversity Affirming approach - let's call them 'Old way' and 'new way'! OLD WAY: First do the boring 'work' task, then do the fun activity NEW WAY: Use intrinsic motivation: Ensure that the 'main' activity is motivating for the child OLD WAY: Intrude - Insert yourself into the child's play when they're playing solo NEW WAY: Join in with the child... Sometimes. Let them play solo sometimes. Honour their sensory & social capacity OLD WAY: Shape an Autistic child's play to look more 'normal'... More like neurotypical children's play NEW WAY: Honour & enjoy the child's individual way of playing. And sometimes add small new ideas as an offer, with no pressure LINKS: If you're a speech therapist, you're invited to join my FREE 3-day Challenge 'Evolving your Affirming Practice' - www.playlearnchat.com/challenge Registrations are now open for my Affirming Communication for Autistic Children Course for Speech Therapists!
