Rationale:
Course Information:
This is a self-paced course that will teach clinicians how to confidently identify, evaluate and work with any child who communicates with delayed echolalia (often referred to as scripting).
Provider Information: Meaningful Speech
The Meaningful Speech Community TM was set up by a speech and language therapist and is based on the Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) framework (Blanc, 2012). NLA acknowledges echolalia as a stage of development. Echolalia can be a feature of communication skills in autistic children. This reframes SLT intervention from ‘teaching’ language as a skill, but instead growing language as a true, natural development.
Location: Self-directed online training
Duration: 25 hours of learning (8 hours of core learning + 17 bonus modules). Self-paced learning with unlimited lifetime access to the learning content.
