#343: Joint Attention Explained: The Foundation of Communication in Autism

Dela

Joint attention is the shared focus between a child and another person, and it is one of the most important foundational communication skills for children with autism and developmental delays. Dr. Mary Barbera talks with Rose Griffin, who explains why joint attention matters, how it supports language, play, and social interaction, and how parents and professionals can build it through simple daily activities like books, songs, bubbles, and games. They also highlight the importance of collaboration between ABA and speech therapy so children get practical, individualized support that strengthens communication through connection and engagement.
