Autism awareness in therapy means recognizing and understanding that the goal of therapy is not to “cure” Autistic people but to support them in achieving their goals whether it be speech, language, social or emotional development and living fulfilling lives.
Speech and language delays tend to be among parents’ earliest developmental concerns. Therefore, speech-language pathologists and registered behavior analysts are often among the first clinicians to work with a child who has undiagnosed autism and can be a key part of the multi-disciplinary team that makes the diagnosis.
