About
This gentle and effective method focuses on joining children in their interests and helping them develop new associations between existing responses and language. By extending the child's existing responses, parents can help their child develop new thoughts and behaviors, leading to organic change and growth. With over 35 years of experience, Robert has expanded his approach to work with autistic individuals of all ages, and has become an international consultant, speaker, and author. He has been featured on Dateline NBC and has hosted a call-in radio show, and has conducted numerous seminars and presentations on autism for educators, parents, and the general public. Autism Speech is based in Dobbs Ferry, NY, and serves children and families worldwide through their approach.
