Learning Style Profile© | Autism Courses For SLPs
Now there's a game plan to help SLPs and educators stay on an intervention pathway that leads to independent thinking for autistic children.
The Learning Style Profile© (LSP) for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder is a research-guided intervention approach that identifies 10 ASD learning style components. The LSP focuses on moving young children with ASD from learning style weaknesses to learning style strengths in order to build independent capacities in social and communication development. The LSP intervention strategies assist children to recognize social-communication and interpersonal cues in the naturalistic context in order to independently use their skills to engage in meaningful social interactions and conversation.
