𧩠AUTISM: SPEECH & PLAY INTERVENTIONS COMBINED!
Exciting progress in autism therapy! New research is testing how combining speech and play-based interventions can boost communication skills in young kids.
đ The PRISM study is exploring adaptive intervention sequences. This means researchers are figuring out the best order to use JASPER (a fun play-based approach) and PROMPT (a speech-focused technique). The goal? Better language outcomes for minimally verbal preschoolers.
đĄ Why is this important? Combining therapies could be more effective than using them separately. Plus, tailoring interventions to each child's needs can make a HUGE difference.
â
Action Tip: Talk to your child's therapist about incorporating play-based activities to support speech development. Even simple games can help!
