Can I Say? What Did You Say? Using Language to Build Social Skills for
Individuals with Asperger’s Disorder & High Functioning Autism Presented by Elsa Abele, CCC-SLP 9:00 am - 4:00 pm UM-NSU CARD (UM Campus) 5665 Ponce de Leon Blvd., Coral Gables, FL 33146 Room 536 (2nd Floor - Children

often in need of
services to increase their skills in social communication, or pragmatic
language, so that they can succeed in both school and workplace
settings. They typically have deficits in Theory of Mind, Central
Coherence, and Executive Function that keep them from developing the
skills of social interaction. However, these skills can be taught

of conversation and listening skills, personal narrative skills and
verbally mediated problem solving using “self talk”. For more information contact UM-NSU CARD ~ Ph: 305-284-5263
