[Podcourse] Part 1: Behavior is Communication: Tools for Supporting Autistic Expression

from Speechie Side Up Hosted by Venita

In this episode, I am joined by Susan Golubock, an autistic Occupational Therapist and advocate, to explore why autistic communication is often misunderstood wherein she highlights two main reasons: subconscious biases about communication and neurological differences experienced by autistics. Susan shares her insights into interpreting behaviors as communication, provides concrete examples, and offers practical tools for educators to support autistic students. The discussion also covers strategies to help autistic individuals express themselves non-verbally and addresses common misinterpretations. Susan emphasizes the importance of using gestures and problem-solving approaches to enhance autistic communication.
