In this episode, Katja is joined by Amy Zembriski, a speech therapist who specializes in gestalt language as well as AAC. Amy and Katja discuss neurodiversity affirming goal writing. They share thoughts about what makes a goal neurodiversity affirming, IEP accommodations that might support neurodiversity affirming goals, joint attention looks different for autistic kids (and why most joint attention goals are harmful) as well as what good ones can look like, avoiding prompt dependency and creating self agency.
