Description: Joint attention is the ability to coordinate attention between another person and an interesting object or event in the environment. Joint attention deficits are pervasive in young children with Autism and these deficits can be linked to impaired language and social interactions. It is
important that providers who work with young children with Autism understand how to assess
and teach joint attention skills. During this workshop the participants will be given a joint
attention assessment and teaching guide by Berenice de la Cruz (2016). During the training we
will go over the different levels of joint attention, show video examples and discuss ways to
teach young children with Autism missing joint attention skills.
During this workshop participants will:
*Learn the definition of joint attention
*Understand the different levels of joint attention training
*Understand how to assess the different levels of joint attention
*Learn strategies for teaching joint attention to young children with Autism
