Rethinking Routines for Regulation, Engagement, and Communication
Many SLPs are taught that routines are a cornerstone of language development, especially for younger autistic children. But routines designed for neurotypical children often fall short because autistic kids present with differences in joint attention, focus, and how they process sensory input.
On this live show, we’ll break down why typical routines can fail, how to honor a child’s autonomy and interests, and why meeting sensory needs is just as critical as engagement and communication.
On this episode, you'll learn:
-
Why standard routines often don’t match the joint attention styles of autistic children
-
Why considering sensory needs is the missing piece in most routines
-
How to structure routines that build regulation, engagement, and communication together
- How to turn routines into powerful learning opportunities without forcing compliance or masking
-
And more!
