Podcourse: How to Foster the Socio-Emotional Well-Being of Autistic Clients and Their Families

In this podcourse, I am joined by Rachel Dorsey, a Speech-Language Pathologist, educator, consultant, and autism rights advocate. Through her private practice/consultancy, Rachel Dorsey: Autistic SLP, LLC, she provides therapy sessions and education to parents, professionals, school districts, and organizations through coaching, consultations, in-services, professional developments, and courses on neurodiversity-affirming therapeutic practice. The services she offers as a consultant draw upon her own experience as an Autistic person and her nearly six years of clinical experience working within early intervention, preschool (CPSE), school-aged, post-secondary through itinerant work, and clinic-based settings.  In this session, we discussed important factors and strategies for supporting the socio-emotional well-being of autistic clients. This session explored strategies to implement with young children, as well as, difficulties clinicians may encounter when supporting the socio-emotional wellbeing of older autistic children.
