Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking? (autism)

Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking?
Presented by Carrie Sheppard, LMHC

Ever feel like you're on a different planet from your autistic child? Like your wavelengths rarely intersect? This session will introduce you to some valuable techniques that will help you and your child become more attuned to each other's mental and emotional states. Getting "in sync" with each other provides an important developmental foundation for future social success.

Some of the steps leading to relationship competence begin with building the motivation to join minds together in attention, thought and action. Genuine interest and empathy follows quite naturally.

Through practical instruction and video clips, you'll see how parents and therapists work with children to develop shared understanding that will help cultivate valuable connections. You will learn some of the cognitive and emotional benefits of using these techniques. Appropriate for: Parents and professionals
