Description:
The workshop is sponsored by Autism Ontario, Conseil scolaire de district catholique des Aurores boreales, Lakehead Public, and Thunder Bay Catholic District and will be presented by Julie Koudys of Pyramid Educational Consultants, Canada, Inc. This exciting workshop describes nine critical communication skills required by all communicators, independent of their communicative modality. We distinguish between communication that is spontaneous, responsive, or imitative. When people cannot initiate or otherwise calmly use these skills, many serious behavior problems are likely to arise. These skills are broadly divided between those needed by ‘speakers’ (expressive skills) versus those needed by ‘listeners’ (receptive skills). Participants will learn effective training strategies for children who speak or sign as well as those using picture-based communication systems.
