In celebration of Autism Acceptance Month, join us for this special event with Barry M. Prizant, PhD, CCC-SLP. In this session Dr. Prizant, clinical scholar, researcher, international consultant and best-selling author, will share his thoughts on the many misconceptions about autism and the experience of autistic people. Based on his best-selling book, “Uniquely Human: A Different Way of Seeing Autism,” this presentation will dive into the myths surrounding behaviors observed in autism, the inaccurate perception of autism as a tragedy and the belief that autism is only experienced by the individual with the ASD diagnosis – offering a paradigm-shifting perspective. The “uniquely human” approach honors the individuality of each person and builds on interests and strengths by providing a range of appropriate supports. With fifty years of experience, Dr. Prizant is a Visiting Scholar at Brown University, a certified speech-language pathologist and the Director of Childhood Communication Services. He has been a two-time featured presenter at the United Nations on World Autism Awareness Day. His recent best-selling book, “Uniquely Human: A Different Way of Seeing Autism” is now published in 22 languages, and he co-hosts and co-produces “Uniquely Human: The Podcast.” Send a reflection before midnight to the group chat that will be made. What did you learn? What can you apply to your life?
