One common misconception that people have about children with autism or developmental delays is that if you expose them to typically developing peers, they will naturally gain play and social skills. This kind of idea might lead a parent to put their child with autism in a preschool with the hope that that will be enough for them to learn. But actually, teaching a child with autism play and social skills involves a lot of work, and much of this work begins with teaching language skills.
Today I want to share some resources and ideas about how to build the foundational language skills that a child with autism needs. Before you can get to the point where you teach a child about taking turns, having manners, and saying “I’m sorry”, you have to make sure you’re building on a foundation. I explain some of the basic skills, like pointing, that need to be mastered before further social skills, like sharing, can be developed.
In today’s video you’ll learn:
✔️ How play skills, language skills, and social skills are all interconnected.
✔️ Some of the early red flags for autism, including hand-leading and lack of pointing.
✔️ Why early, intensive therapy can make such a difference in a child’s development.
✔️ Some strategies for parents and therapists to teach language, social, and play skills.

Dr. Mary Barbera. I fell into the autism world as an autism mom in 1999 when her first-born son, Lucas, was diagnosed with autism. Since then, she became a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and best-selling author of The Verbal Behavior Approach. Since 2015, she’s created 3 autism online courses based on applied behavior analysis for professionals and "gung-ho" parents. Whether you’re looking for autism parenting strategies, working with development delays in children, or in search of autism help for professionals, I can encourage you to subscribe to the channel and join me on my journey. I’ll be providing weekly autism resources that you don’t want to miss.
Thank you so much Mary for all of your insight in the autism world. You have helped me so much!! I’m a Nawni (grandma) of a almost 4 year old that has language difficulties and so much of what your videos are in have just opened my eyes so much.
Hi Mary. Just want to say a big thank you for your recordings. I am a parent of an 11 years old with ASD and I am also a Special needs tutor offering one to one support to not just the children but their families at home. You resources have helped me a lot to better support my clients. Thank you so much.
I love that you make these videos. Currently having issues with insurance to get my son to get evaluated. He has many red flags, it's one of those things that you just know. Can't wait to learn how to help him but for now these videos are handy. I hope your son is doing well. ❤
Just getting into learning more. My son is 2 1/2 has some functional language and can follow one and two step directions at times. His play skills, eye contact, language for his age, emotional awareness, are low for his age. I will be signing up for your workshop and subscribing to your podcast as well. Just wanted to say thank you for providing valuable information.
These videos give me more understanding and warmth with my journey
I'm an educator an family member of 2 kids with autism an this is very helpful thanks so much
Thank you very good I dint see the link for the book
Thank you for this. I have to consistently remind my mom that it doesn’t work that way with my child. She would end up being left behind if she were to go to the older claa
Greetings and blessings to you Mary and to you reader!
Valuable info; Thanks a lot. How can I access the link you talked about for the book Play time/Social Time?
My daughter nicole is not speaking by helself but she can utter words if i ask her (repetitive) so i teach her sign language instead..she'll be 8 this year.
Unfortunately in Illinois Medicaid does not cover ABA therapy and when you have good insurance like BCBS ABA companies charge very predatory prices like $3-600/hour and the insurance would really only cover 70% leaving you still with insane bills to pay out of pocket
How do you get to a stage where they can sit and attend? Mostly ABA trials? Or is it quite dependant on development growth?
could you elaborate more on Hand leading please
Hi Mary,thanks for the very useful
Where is the link for the book to download?
