This 120-minute recorded webcast will explore the topic area necessary for speech-language pathologists to possess in order to provide effective and evidence-based interventions for children with an autism spectrum disorder.

To address the professional development needs specific to autism, speech-language pathologists must have knowledge and skills regarding (but not limited to): core characteristics of autism, working with families, screening, diagnosis, and assessment, evidence-based interventions, use of augmentative and alternative communication modalities, and collaboration (ASHA, 2006b). This presentation will address these specific areas by introducing audience participants to specific interventions and methodologies to increase their skills and knowledge in the area of ASD. In this webcast, we will review the following teaching methodologies:

    1. Behavior-based intervention
    2. Collaboration within a multi-disciplinary team
    3. Use of visual supports
    4. Incorporating sensory strategies

Upon completion of The Great 8 for SLPs and ASD, participants will be able to:

    1. List at least 6 areas of knowledge needed to provide intervention for an individual with ASD.
    2. Discuss multiple tools for assessment.
    3. Identify multiple resources for intervention supports both web-based and in print.

This 120-minute recorded webcast incorporates methodology and is designed for speech-language pathologists, aides, and other professionals working with children with ASD needing further training on developing and implementing social skills activities with autism and related disorders.
