Abstract: The language and communication deficits associated with autism are significant and warrant a comprehensive array of interventions. Unfortunately, there is often a gap between applied behavior analysts and speech pathologists that impedes their ability to adequately address such deficits. The objective of the panel is to highlight the contributions of both of these disciplines as well as the misconceptions that members of these two disciplines have for each other. Techniques and tools offered by these two disciplines with respect to assessment, goal selection, and intervention will be discussed. |
