The Wisdom of Autism
Copyright :
Good therapists working with young children on the autism spectrum can take on many roles at once: clinician, educator, interpreter, and advocate. They know how to break social and emotional skills into pragmatic pieces, contrive situations to facilitate connection and resilience, and become experts in the essentials of effective communication. But entering into a child with autism’s world and connecting isn’t always easy. In this recording, we’ll explore the skills and perspectives that can lead to breakthroughs with children on and off the spectrum.
Sandra Van Nest, LCSW, is a psychotherapist for children and their families, with a background in training, supervision, and curriculum design for autism and mental health services. She owns Piece by Piece Therapeutics, a child, family and group practice in New Jersey.
