From her thesis: Here are the suggestions for parents, teachers, and clinicians, which I’ll explain below: Use the family’s natural language in the home. Welcome the child’s focus on objective knowledge, if that is the child’s area of interest. Do not waste time enforcing eye contact or face-to-face alignment if the child doesn’t enjoy it; eye contact is not necessary, and may actually impede learning and thinking. Learn how to focus on things that are interesting to the child, and join in on his or her interests. Do not try to enforce your interests on the child. Learn how to teach, interact, and share teaching materials and items of interest in a side-by-side or oblique orientation (see below). Welcome alternate forms of communication rather than focusing on speech. Use visual communication, writing, pointing, music, computers, tablets, etc. Speak at a normal speed and manage your pitch, your volume, and your emotional intensity. Make your communication clear and calming instead of stretched out and baby-ish.
