Families of autistic students often ask one of the most emotional and challenging questions an SLP can face: “Will my child ever talk?” In this moving episode of School of Speech, host Carolyn Dolby talks with Dr. Sheryl Rosin, PhD, CCC-SLP, a nationally recognized expert in autism and communication development, about how to respond with both compassion and evidence-based insight.
With more than 40% of children with autism estimated to be minimally verbal or nonverbal, school-based SLPs are uniquely positioned to guide families through this journey. Dr. Rosin shares how to understand the developmental progression of language, recognize functional language levels, and translate these concepts into practical strategies for the school setting.
