With the suggestions in my debut article, your child can develop healthy practices that become automatic, natural customs to feel a sense of independence, control, and accountability.

Are you eager to help your child communicate better but not sure where to begin?

Hi! I'm Karen Kabaki-Sisto, an autism communication expert for over 20 years.

If your child with autism talks, he or she likely has difficulties understanding and expressing words, gestures, and feelings. I created this user-friendly tool to turn your observations into real insights about:

SOCIAL INTERACTION
BODY LANGUAGE
EMOTIONS
VERBAL ABILITIES
PERSPECTIVE-TAKING

Upon completion, you'll instantly receive a detailed report of your child's current communication strengths and weaknesses. Over time, you can make new assessments (as often as you'd like) to monitor her or his progress.

Easy-to-follow and so necessary!

What you will learn...
