Communication Strategies for Children With Autism
Through years of teaching, extensive research and publishing, and work with Universities, public school systems, and organizations, I am a strong believer in the benefit of meaningful, contextually based instruction for individuals with autism. Visual language and augmentative communication systems for individuals with pervasive developmental disorders and autism represent both a legitimate language system and an effective strategy for communication.
This web site is being developed for the purposes of providing a helpful information resource, as well as information about the work I have done and services I offer.
