Joint attention is foundational to communication and social learning, but knowing how to turn assessment findings into meaningful goals and intervention can be challenging. In Part 2 of this two-part series, Janine Benner, MA, CCC-SLP, BCS-CL, ASDCS, focuses on moving from assessment to intervention with developmentally informed, evidence-based approaches to supporting joint attention.
You’ll learn how to use assessment findings to identify appropriate starting points for intervention and develop strength-based, neurodiversity-affirming goals that reflect each child’s communication style, developmental level, and neurotype. Janine will also address data collection and progress monitoring within naturalistic interactions, helping you connect clinical decision-making with meaningful, functional outcomes.
Practical strategies and activity ideas will show how joint attention can be supported and expanded through play, routines, and everyday experiences. You’ll leave with resources for goal development and a clearer framework for supporting shared attention in responsive, individualized ways across settings and interactions.
