This is not your typical or conventional ECI talks:  this is a webinar series for therapists and educators who want to improve confidence and success in helping challenging patients who won’t engage, who just want to walk/ run/ jump, struggle to focus or who have high sensory needs. Today’s webinar will be the first of two stand-alone talks on preparing the therapy space or classroom and preparing your ECI approach for supporting children with Autism or complex social, sensory and communication needs. An overview of vitally important vocabulary, methods, approaches and terms to understand and apply in your therapy. A look at what is SEL (social emotional learning), EBP (evidence-based practice), Total Communication, AAC, Simultaneous communication and neurodivergence.
