Communication Masterclass
Welcome to our Communication Masterclass!
Communication is one of the most prevalent challenges for students with autism, and one of the most complex domains to assess and create goals for. In order to focus on developing communication, we first must understand the challenges, assessments, importance of targeting it, and key learning metrics.
