Affirming Neurodiversity as a Speech Therapist

Today is World Autism Day!

What neurodiversity-affirming speech therapy looks like:
• Prioritizing connection
• Honouring all forms of play
• Presuming competence
• Supporting sensory needs
• Using a total communication approach
• Celebrating strengths & preferences
• Collaborating with families & teams
• Continuing to learn, listen, & advocate

Autism is a neurotype, and the world needs minds of all kinds! 💛

Let's continue to move beyond awareness and towards acceptance. 🌎
