2. Caregivers of children with ASD can learn to
connect with their children by participating in
online speech therapy. The SLP can collaborate
closely with the family to create a treatment
plan that includes tactics and activities for
eliciting effective communication. The SLP has
the advantage of working with the parent in
their home environment.Furthermore,parents
are their child’s primary educators from birth.It
is highly beneficial to the child when their
parents constantly repeat the same language
modeled by their SLP.

3. Many children with autism struggle to comprehend the
sensory information they get from their surroundings.
Changing the visual, aural, and tactile signals that a child
receives increases their attention span and participation.
Simple modifications, such as altering the lighting
brightness or the volume of a video, may make a big
difference in the quality of an online therapy session
SENSORY INPUT

USE REAL
OBJECTS
A common misperception that only digital
items can be used in online therapy. The
utilization of real objects in the environment
will assist young children, especially those
with ASD.This form of tangible learning is
ideal for the development of functional
communication in everyday situations like
mealtimes. Your child’s SLP can educate you
on utilizing toys, books, and ordinary things
in your house to help your child learn new
words.
5. Another misconception regarding online
therapy is that a child must sit and pay attention
in front of the computer for the whole therapy
session. While attention is necessary, flexibility is
critical.During therapy sessions,including
movements into a language exercise, such as
singing “Row,Row,Row Your Boat” while having
the child motion and rock their body back and
forth, helps enhance a child’s attention while
also enhancing their language learning ability.
