Remote Parent Coaching

Reading Time: < 1 minute

This case study describes a virtual Speech and Language Pathology session focused on language and social pragmatics. Clinicians describe working with a kindergarten student with autism and challenges with language. The use of Zoom, online animated story books, and digital manipulatives are described.

Leo is a 5-year-old child with autism. His therapy sessions have focused largely expressive and receptive language, as well as play skills. He has been learning how to use longer and more complex language forms to include a wider variety of semantic relations and morphological structures. He has also been learning how to answer wh-questions, follow directions, and use more advanced play skills, such as evolving episode sequences and role playing.
