On this podcast, I am joined by Jessie Ginsburg, M.A, CCC-SLP. Jessie a Sensory IntegrationⓇ trained speech-language pathologist, creator of ASD from the Inside Out, and founder of Pediatric Therapy Playhouse, a top-rated speech & language clinic in Los Angeles. Through her national publications and talks, and her internationally-acclaimed Inside Out course, Jessie inspires a new way of thinking about the SLP’s role in treating young autistic children. We discuss the topic of sensory needs in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and how to implement sensory regulation into therapy sessions to best serve the child. Jessie shares how to identify sensory differences in your students and how to target sensory regulation despite limited resources.
Topics/Questions:
Why should SLPs take time out of their jam-packed schedules to learn about sensory processing?
How can we help kids with sensory differences in a neurodiversity-affirming way?
What role can SLPs play in addressing the sensory needs of their students?
How can we target sensory regulation if we have limited access to therapy equipment, a sensory gym, or even OTs?
