Description
Join Sue for an upcoming Live Virtual Workshop where you will learn from Sue practical tips & strategies to make a difference. Expert Guest: Professor Josephine Barbaro is a Principal Research Fellow and Neurodiversity Affirming Psychologist at the Olga Tennison Autism Research Centre, La Trobe University. She is co-founder of Australia’s first ‘Early Assessment Clinic’ for autism, focusing on children under 3 years old. A/Prof Barbaro’s research interests are in the early identification and diagnosis of autism in infants, toddlers, and pre-schoolers, family health and well-being following a diagnosis, and Neurodiversity Affirming research and practice. In this interview we will talk about: ✅ What is autism screening/developmental surveillance? ✅ What are some of the early signs of Autism? ✅ How early can we identify and diagnose Autistic kiddos and what’s the current average age of diagnosis? ✅ The tools Professor Babaro’s developed – SACS (for professionals), ASDetect (for parents), how accurate they are, where they’re being used, and how people can access them. ✅ What to do if you suspect a child is Autistic? ✅ How to talk to parents in an affirming and empathic way if you suspect their child might be showing early signs? ✅ What to do if Doctors dismiss parental/carer concerns and say things like, ‘They are just being a boy’ or ‘they will grow out of it?’ Read more about this podcast in the show notes found via the link below suelarkey.com.au/new-tools-for-diagnosis-with-professor-barbaro/ Join the Facebook group specifically for this podcast https://www.facebook.com/groups/suelarkeypodcastcommunity/ Follow my Instagram account for regular tips https://www.instagram.com/sue.larkey/ To learn more about teaching or understanding ASD, please visit my website below. https://elearning.suelarkey.com.au
