March 14/2024 G.C - Monthly caregivers meeting On our caregivers meeting on the month of March we had the previlage of having Mrs. Berhane Abera, who is currently working on the field of speech therapy. She gave a wonderful presentation on the role of speech therapy in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other neurodevelopmental conditions. During our discussion the following important points were raised. 📌 It's always important to get a child with speech difficulties screened for hearing problems first. 📌  The goal of speech therapy is to enable individuals discover and learn their way of interacting with others and their environment. 📌 Speech therapy will be based on caregivers understanding of their child's behaviour and condition. 📌  We need to encourage neurodivergent children to engage (create joint attention)with their environment. 📌 Active engagement, repetition and patience/ persistence are key components of learning. Lastly we would like to thank Mrs. Berhane Abera for taking her time to be part of our discussion and St.Paul Hospital Millennium Medical College for continually supporting our works.
