1. David Loyst Reference & Regulate:
What can the Reference and Regulate program do for a child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?
Most children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders can learn how to:
Be calm
Tell people what they think
Develop true friends and a loving relationship with family members
Implementation of R&R has successfully developed the skills of joint attention, social referencing and regulation in young children with an ASD. Research indicates that these skills are the foundation for later language and social skills in children with an ASD. This theory has been verified by extremely positive outcomes for clients through our current research projects.
What will the R&R Introduction and Intervention Summary Workshop teach?
The development of referencing and social cognition in typical children and the remediation of these skills in children with ASD including the development of eye contact, gaze following, joint attention, reciprocal referencing in conversations and peer interactions
Social referencing as a pivotal and prerequisite skill for later developing language and peer interactions
The development of regulation from initial adaptations to the later development of self regulation
Videos of activities and hands on practice with activities for each stage of intervention.
