Best and most applicable SLP CEU course I have taken in a long time. It is refreshing to hear an SLP support agency for Autism. As a parent of an Autistic child and spouse of an Autistic adult, I am so encouraged to see our profession finally shifting!

The information is so important for the autistic community and those who provide therapy to autistic individuals. So many current practices are archaic and damaging. This helps the necessary change in our field.

It focused a lot on what not to do without enough information on what to do. There were significant contradictions, where the presenter condemned certain therapy goals (ie understanding and identifying emotions that are necessary for self advocacy)

From the little that I saw (due to the glitch), Joleen was making a truly woke point: that autistics deserve agency and autonomy, that we need to look at functional outcomes as therapists.

This course gave an extensive list of things we should not be doing but the presenter struggled with providing actual examples of meaningful interactions or goals which could be implemented to support neurodiversity. The video shown was a Mom attempting to enforce what she considered to be a nuerotypical response (verbalizing) but the presenter made no effort to show how this interaction could have been improved upon (i.e. Mom could have done x, y, z to maintain a positive interaction while supporting growth). She gave several examples of what goals we should not be writing but then fumbled through a few goals that would be better. I also saw no concrete evidence that in decreasing the current methods used clients can make meaningful gains which allow them to function within their environments.

All of the concepts support how I felt, especially during Grad School. There were many concepts and actions taught to us that always felt, well, sort of wrong and gross. I resisted these and had, at times, thought that maybe I wasn't in the right area and wasn't going to be any good. As this movement became (and becomes) more prevalent, I do feel a small sense of internal validation of my own feelings, in addition to feeling like these methods take care of humans and support learning, not compliance.

Well presented and important to discuss/learn. I would have appreciated more nuance to the discussion. I do not think the "dos and don'ts" of goal writing and treatment methods are as black-and-white as what was presented when we take into consideration a child's safety and ability to function in the world in which they currently live.
