What can the Reference and Regulate program do for a child with an
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?
Autism Services and Cognitive Disability Strategy are
pleased to offer:
David Loyst
Reference & Regulate:
Introductory and Intervention Workshops
November 5-8, 2012
Lecture Theatre; Carlton High School
Prince Albert, SK
Most children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders can learn how to:
•
Be calm
•
Tell people what they think
•
Develop true friends and a loving relationship with family members
Implementation of R&R has successfully developed the skills of joint attention,
social referencing and regulation in young children with an ASD. Research
indicates that these skills are the foundation for later language and social
skills in children with an ASD. This theory has been verified by extremely
positive outcomes for clients through our current research projects.
