In this episode, we sit down with Kaylan Long, a behavior analyst and founder of Caffeinated Behavior Change, to explore the importance of building communication skills for students with autism. Kaylan shares her insights on how to be intentional about embedding communication opportunities throughout the school day, even during unconventional or overlooked times. She also discusses effective strategies for working with students who use high-tech AAC devices, offers solutions to common roadblocks in communication skill development, and provides tips for getting school staff on board with these essential practices. Whether you're a teacher, behavior analyst, or support staff, Kaylan’s practical advice is a must-listen for anyone working to improve communication skills in students with autism.
