Rethinking Echolalia

In my debut article with The Autism Notebook, I review how there are 2 basic types of echolalia: delayed and immediate. Understanding the type of echolalia a child is using helps us determine why it happens and how we can help. I want to thank editor-in-chief Stacey for including my suggestions in her wonderful publication!

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!
