We have an attention autism session each day. The children LOVE this particular session as they are really engaged and intrigued by what might happen next. Once a week our Speech and Language Therapist Naomi comes to class and takes the session. The goals of the session are for the children to have a shared attention on an adult led activity and communication from the child. We aim for our sessions to be as motivating and exciting as possible and worth communicating about! Different ways our children communicate may be using eye contact, looking at the objects, facial expressions, laughing, smiling, reaching out, spontaneous saying of words or repeating words the adult has said. All the children have developed their attention and communication skills through these sessions.
