Autism Navigator — It’s All in the Hands

Autism Navigator — It’s All in the Hands
You’d be amazed at what a child’s hands can tell you

By watching what a child is doing with their hands and what they’re paying attention to, you can learn how to detect autism. Come watch videos with us to learn the early signs of autism and sharpen your observation skills.

  • Join us this month for our basic webinar — Improving Early Detection of Autism with an Eye Toward Infancy on Tuesday, September 12th at 8:30pm ET. Learn more and register.
  • Join our advanced webinar series the 2nd and 4th Thursday each month — Sharpen Your Observation Skills Using the SORF for Earlier Detection. In September, join on Thursday the 14th at 12:30pm ET and the 28th at 8:30pm ET. Learn more and register.

Hands down, it’s magical. What a child does with their hands sets into motion learning to talk. What you do and say really matters. By talking about what a child is doing with their hands, you can help a child learn to talk. Come watch videos with us to see the Early Social Interaction (ESI) model in action with families of children with social communication and language delays. A key is helping families support their child so they learn to use more and more actions and gestures with their hands in activities they already do every day, like getting dressed, preparing a meal, doing laundry, and watering plants.

  • Join our 6-week fall webinar series — Coaching Families of Young Children with Autism Using the ESI Model for professionals working with children and families in early intervention or early childhood education. This 6-week, fall webinar series starts Wednesday, September 13th from 12 noon to 1:30pm ET. The Autism Navigator team will share active ingredients to coach parents of children with autism using the ESI model to support their child’s learning in everyday activities. Learn more and register.
  • Join our How-To Guide for Families webinar on Tuesday, September 12th and 26th at 1:00pm ET for families who have children with social communication delays, challenging behavior, or suspect their child has autism, so they can get started right away and support their child’s learning in everyday activities. Learn more and register.
