She is known in the autism community for her social communication language evaluations, which target higher order language content and social use/problem solving via standardized and informal assessment measures. The three discuss Gina’s method for assessing communication challenges, the differences in how social-communication challenges present in women versus men, and the role mindfulness can play in treatment.
