Attendees please note that this training has been offered in prior recent years to avoid an inability to obtain EI credit due to duplication ( if you have previously attended).
This workshop will contain discussion relevant to the development of fluid meaningful communication. It is useful to understand this concept for nearly any communication interaction, but is especially useful in understanding some of the core deficits of autism. We will discuss the differences in concrete communication which is used to get needs met or make defined statements; verses the fluid, rapidly changing and often emotion laden communication which happens between people who are communicating on a dynamic level. This information is relevant to the development of pragmatic communication, which is not uncommonly seen as a deficit area in children evaluated and treated by the early interventionists. We will discuss what gives meaning..... to words.
