Overview
Autobiographical memory (ABM)āthe type of long-term memory that holds information about ourselves and our past experiencesāis key to social learning and social communication. This groundbreaking guide shows professionals how to support ABM in children and adolescents on the autism spectrum, leading to lasting enhancements to critical social skills.
A natural, strengths-based approach to autism intervention, this unique program is about promoting authentic connections by facilitating memoryānot encouraging a specific set of behaviors or changing autistic habits of cognition. Ideal for speech-language pathologists and other practitioners, this book offers detailed guidance on how to assess ABM needs and implement activities that help autistic individuals encode and retrieve memories that aid in social learning. Professionals will get step-by-step instructions on using adaptable, person-centered techniques such as elaborative reminiscing, memory making activities, episodic memory draw-talks, and life stories.
An innovative and practical guide that honors neurodiversity, this program empowers children to tap into and create meaning from their past experiencesāand use those memories to plan, problem-solve, and form positive connections with others.
