PARENT COACHING
Caregivers of children with ASD can learn to  
connect with their children by participating in  
online speech therapy. The SLP can 
collaborate  closely with the family to create a 
treatment  plan that includes tactics and 
activities for  eliciting effective 
communication. The SLP has  the advantage 
of working with the parent in  their home 
environment. Furthermore, parents  are their 
child’s primary educators from birth. It  is 
highly beneficial to the child when their  
parents constantly repeat the same language  
modeled by their SLP.
SENSORY INPUT
Many children with autism struggle to comprehend 
the  sensory information they get from their 
surroundings.
Changing the visual, aural, and tactile signals that a 
child  receives increases their attention span and 
participation.  Simple modifications, such as altering 
the lighting  brightness or the volume of a video, may 
make a big  difference in the quality of an online 
therapy session

USE REAL 
OBJECTS
A common misperception that only digital  
items can be used in online therapy. The  
utilization of real objects in the 
environment  will assist young children, 
especially those  with ASD. This form of 
tangible learning is  ideal for the 
development of functional  
communication in everyday situations like  
mealtimes. Your child’s SLP can educate 
you  on utilizing toys, books, and ordinary 
things  in your house to help your child 
learn new  words.
MOVEMEN
TAnother misconception regarding online  
therapy is that a child must sit and pay 
attention  in front of the computer for the 
whole therapy  session. While attention is 
necessary, flexibility is  critical. During therapy 
sessions, including  movements into a 
language exercise, such as  singing “Row, 
Row, Row Your Boat” while having  the child 
motion and rock their body back and  forth, 
helps enhance a child’s attention while  also 
enhancing their language learning ability.
