Today’s episode is like a mini-coaching call with Emily R, who joined my book launch team and is at the beginning of her journey of using the Turn Autism Around approach to help turn autism around for her son. Emily’s son Kash was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2 after showing some of the classic signs of autism, including hand flapping and delayed speech. Luckily, Emily was able to immediately access speech and OT services through a state program.

At the age of three, Kash was diagnosed with epilepsy, so he’s had a lot of medical issues to work through. After four years of ABA therapy, he has a few words, some signing abilities, and an AAC to help him communicate his wants and needs.

Walking Emily through the 4 steps of the Turn Autism Around approach, I want to emphasize that this is not medical advice and should not be taken for that. My approach helps parents to identify the most pressing need for their child. I personally believe that for ages 6-10, especially when they don’t have language abilities, is one of the most dangerous time periods for children with autism. The number one leading cause of death in children with autism is drowning. If a child loves water, but can’t swim, then you can see how dangerous it can be.

In today’s video you’ll learn:
-Why I choose to count problem behaviors as an episode instead of as individual behaviors.
-Why safety and safe behaviors for children with autism should be one of the highest priorities for parents and providers.
-How taking a step back and using the one-page assessment can help you gain a more accurate view of the best plan to help a child.
