How to Celebrate Autism Awareness Month

April is Autism Awareness month.

We here are Lakeshore are proud to work with families and for individuals on the Autism spectrum. There is no one way, one recipe, one program that fits all children with Autism.  We celebrate these differences!

Celebrate Every Success – Big or Small

Those working with children with Autism strive to finding the keys to unlock communication skills. While progress in finding those ‘keys’ at times can feel painfully slow, your speech-language pathologist is here for you to continually push, model, and encourage you and your child.  Even the smallest step of forward progress is cause for celebration!
Lakeshore Speech celebrates with you and your child!

Learn How to Use and Model Social Skill Filters

“I can’t believe you just said that!” We have all experienced a moment when our child blurts out a thought  that should have stayed in their heads.

Join Ellen Spear, MA, CCC-SLP, of Lakeshore Speech Therapy, LLC, as she helps children use their “social filter” and understand how words and actions have an effect on others. Using role play, video, and smalll group activities,  this hour long program will focus on deciphering the hidden rules of  inside thoughts vs expressing a thought out loud.. We will  determine whether we need to use our “thinking bubble”  or “talking bubble” across a variety of different social situations and learn about the where, when, and who of venting.

Where: Lakewood Public Library
When: Saturday, February 3, Sessions begin at 1:00 pm and 2:30 pm
