Is your child trying to communicate—but not in the way you expected?

How do we support communication without trying to change the child? What should parents and educators watch for? And what do speech, OT, ABA, feeding, and myofunctional therapy have to do with one another?

Today on Autism Live, Shannon sits down with Luba Patlakh, MS, CCC-SLP, speech-language pathologist, myofunctional therapist, founder of Kidology, and mom of three.

They’ll talk about recognizing the many ways autistic and neurodivergent children communicate, early signs parents shouldn’t ignore, practical strategies you can use at home, and how a whole-child team can work together to support your child.

Most importantly: trust your gut, celebrate the small wins, and know you are not alone.
Join us for a conversation designed to give parents practical information, encouragement, and a little more confidence in knowing what to do next.
