Interaction Strategies
![Page 14: Helping Families, Schools and Communities Understand Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder Teresa Boggs, M. S. CCC-SLP Director of Clinical Services](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e555503460f94b4c732/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

reason to communicate) A variety of communication means (a way to
communicate) Contextual and non contextual
comprehension
![Page 15: Helping Families, Schools and Communities Understand Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder Teresa Boggs, M. S. CCC-SLP Director of Clinical Services](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e555503460f94b4c732/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Interaction Precedes Communication The first step in achieving an interaction is
paying attention to another person The second step is to initiate towards
another person and Needs to respond to another person
![Page 16: Helping Families, Schools and Communities Understand Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder Teresa Boggs, M. S. CCC-SLP Director of Clinical Services](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e555503460f94b4c732/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

![Page 17: Helping Families, Schools and Communities Understand Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder Teresa Boggs, M. S. CCC-SLP Director of Clinical Services](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e555503460f94b4c732/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A Directive Style of Intervention Alone may results in…. Fewer initiations by the child A child who communicates primarily to
respond Less desire for social engagement
![Page 18: Helping Families, Schools and Communities Understand Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder Teresa Boggs, M. S. CCC-SLP Director of Clinical Services](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e555503460f94b4c732/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Purpose of Routines Supports child’s need for predictability Helps the child know what to expect Repeat the routine often Arrange the environment to increase the
likelihood that the child will initiate within the routine
Functionality Flexibility
![Page 19: Helping Families, Schools and Communities Understand Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder Teresa Boggs, M. S. CCC-SLP Director of Clinical Services](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e555503460f94b4c732/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Use Cues Initially, model and prompt to establish
routines. Use explicit than natural cues. Use questions judiciously. Avoid too many
questions, avoid yes/no questions. Break the routine down into small steps.
