Can you link that podcast/interview please? I have to wait 7 months for our diagnostic test so how can I help him at home is what I’m trying to learn. I’m hell bent on turning this around before he even tests but that’s far reaching. I’m getting a journal where I can start to take these ideas, thank u. However what you abs this gentleman are speaking of are over my head can you simplify it?

Great video in explaining as well as guidance. Separately: I've a question in how you evaluate the trend of items that encourage those with autism to retain , reinforce oral soothing and oral stimming by using child adult chewies, lanyards, holders, chewy pendants.In Australia its emerging as a new trend, ironically encouraged by the same therapists getting preschoolers with autism to cease bottles and dummies. Personally these items on kids and adults revolt me, look like vomit hanging out of mouth, slobbery unhygienic items and make the user look super primitively damaged and elicit from me a preference to avoid such kid/youth while this same person without such elicits a friendly positive response from me. (Actually dummies look ok on young kids). Why are there generations of severely autistic youth managing fine in public without such items nor need to in public to be oral soothing most of the time prior the marketing of these items? One woman took bottle and dummies off her 1yr old baby and now uses these supposedly to deal with baby biting forelimbs.Apparently she claims a therapist advised her to use this to deal with that problem.I don't get how substituting these ugly things for dummies and encouraging their continued use is constructive!??? Can you please answer soon.Thanks.

google mary barbera chew toys as i recently did a video on this.

[@MrKaypet]

@@marybarbera Thanks lots for your reply and direction to that video. Watched it and its very useful. I've offered this video to be googled for another site where these things were emerging as a solution.You have dealt with this nicely and raised the medical things to check out, plus say these items maybe Ok for brief usage.(without tactlessly adding like I'm thinking that I'm dubious about how temp any questionable pacifying thing would end up being once kid's gotten to love having it) My blunt, lesser informed, but well meant questioning and concerns on these items elicited from one of the user's (of the family aimed vlog)an extreme defensive melt down.No replies, apologising or explaining made up for this mom's fury and angst. Realise super caution and merely hint in guiding to take a look at your site re more info, if people are a bit lost is a better idea. Your lovely way of guiding indicates you are aware of some parents potential for defensiveness. Despite my past work in IDD fields and some families as a social worker(getting resources mostly) many years ago shows I need to be mindful of leaving a reference to one like you, rather than my view on others limited perspective, as am not qualified to do it the way you do.While I was tuned in when dealing in person, guess I'm not so hot online where contention is possible to be assumed. I've only more recently been watching your site after being impressed by you talking in a conference with two other professional women who also had raised autistic kids. It's why I hadn't yet found that video.

My child loves sequencing alphabets in order and he knows all of them. But when I hold A, F and ask him to pick F, he sort of touches both of them, how can we get the receptive understanding and get to him to point what we ask of him.

[@marybarbera]

Great Question! To learn more attend a 💻 free workshop to help young children increase talking, decrease tantrums, and improve picky eating, sleeping, potty training and more: bit.ly/3GZjn7m

When my son was doing aba therapy they didn't teach this to my son he is learning this right now at this autism school this week and he is doing great with it and the school speach therapy put my son back on the picture exchange program because he doesn't like the AAC device he learning body parts

[@marybarbera]

that is good that he is learning. I bet my online courses can really help you support him . Check out a free workshop here www.marybarbera.com/workshops

[@shikhaasthana5903]

Very informative. I am working with one child. He can echo and tact with transfer procedure (echo to tact). But after few seconds he unable to tact the same objects (he forgets). Please suggest intervention technique for this.

[@marybarbera]

sounds like you may need to do more transfer trials and quicker. I cover this and a helpful data sheet in my courses. Go to www.marybarbera.com/workshops for more information.

Can a regular teacher work in speach therapy? I work with a 2 years old boy and he have a teacher before and he get a new teacher now. I teach him as I teach my 4 daughters and my grandsons, everything, abc , colors , numbers , easy words but nothing works and he show signs of autism, I a big reader , read about everything and wen I start babysitting this boy I star reading about wen I notice the flapping hands. He was late on everything, I tell the parents that he need help , but I feel that he need more than 1 hour a week and need more that the basic teaching that I alrready give him , he know the ABC but he can't talk. He suffered from high anxiety and screaming are great. I pray to God to feel my heart with LOVE for him. Love is patience and I have it before and I have more now, thank to God's help. Don't know wat to do anymore 😔

[@marybarbera]

you can learn to teach him! I have a book that can help called Turn autism around. Get it here turnautismaround.com

[@allisonramasar7373]

Can this be used with toddlers who are diagnosed with mixed receptive expressive delay?

[@marybarbera]

Yes , absolutely. The techniques are very similar. Also my new book is perfect for kids with delays and can help parents support them. Go to turnautismaround.com for more info

[@BeatrizMartinez-dy3oy]
