110: Role of Goals for Autistic Students with Rachel Dorsey
Do you write strength-based goals for your autistic students? The neurodiversity movement is bringing a lot of awareness to the fact that all brains are different. It is increasing our ability to work with our autistic students in a way that makes sense for them and sparks their interest. In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Rachel Dorsey is joining me to talk more about how we can improve our goal setting for our autistic students and approach it in a way that caters to their natural talents while also teaching them new skills. Rachel Dorsey is a Speech-Language Pathologist, educator, consultant, and autism rights advocate. Through her consultancy, Rachel Dorsey: Autistic SLP, LLC, she provides education to parents, professionals, school districts, and organizations through coaching, consultations, in-services, professional developments, and courses on neurodiversity affirming therapeutic practice. The services she offers as a consultant draw upon her own experience as an Autistic person and her over five years of clinical experience seeing early intervention, preschool, school-age, post-secondary-aged clients through itinerant and clinic-based settings. It is so important that we show our autistic students that though they think differently, they are perfectly complete the way they are. These tips for working with autistic students will help them develop a positive self-identity, build on their natural abilities, and so much more. Make sure to tune in to learn all about it!
