A short spoken segment by Ming (Agents of Speech) giving practical advice for parents of children on the autism spectrum about transferring speech-therapy gains from home to school. Primary recommendation: use group settings (group therapy or structured play dates) that mimic classroom social dynamics to help children generalize skills.
So if your child is on the spectrum and delayed, then obviously they will need a little more help. If your child is already doing a lot of homework with you, and they're actually very interested in playing you at home, all they need to do is to bridge that towards school. You can have some sort of group therapy. If you're going to speech therapy already, you can ask your therapist, hey, is there a group therapy that I can help my child to get better at a group setting? Group therapy, very important, get them into three or four out of five children and mimic what's happening at school. If you don't have that, it's really on the parent to try and find other parents or other children who can come in and do some sort of play date in a group. But it's really difficult for a parent to know how to host group games. It takes a long time.
