My Son Communicates With His Therapists But Not Us. Anyone Else Experienced This?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question đź’­

He is 2.5 years old and now knows 40 words. He says “up” when he wants to be picked up. Says “help” when he wants help and “go” when he wants to leave one room to another. However, I see this consistently with his aba therapists, and speech therapist but not so much at home where he just wants to play all the time and throws tantrums when he doesn’t get his way.

How Do You Evaluate Your Speech Therapist?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question đź’­

What criteria do you use to evaluate your speech therapist? What are the red flags for bad/mediocre therapists? What are the indicators that the therapist is good?

How do you evaluate a speech therapy provider? Does it matter?

A MyAutismTeam Member

I think you can just tell. Do they have a gift with children? Are you impressed when they talk to you? If you think you have a bad one, you probaby do.
