Natural Ways to Help Children with Autism Build Confidence, Communication, and Social Skills [Podcast Episode #245]

As parents of children with autism we need to communicate with our children in ways that they understand, and understand them so they can thrive. In today’s episode I interview Robert Bernstein. We discuss how to naturally approach cognition in ways to increase both understanding of our children, and how to help with solutions based on their personal thought processes. Skills involved help people of all ages with autism to speak for the first time, or more clearly than before, build confidence and self esteem, and improve relationship skills with others. This episode also offers resources that parents can learn to assist educators and therapists who work with children with autism. Robert Bernstein is the founder of the Bernstein Cognitive Method, a Columbia educated autism specialist focusing on relationships and early language, with 35+ years of experience in his private practice and award-winning author of Uniquely Normal, Tapping the Reservoir of Normalcy to Treat Autism (with the foreword by Temple Grandin). Robert J. Bernstein has been treating children on the autism spectrum for more than 35 years. His approach promotes the organic change and growth so many parents want to see in their children. Rob is an international speaker, featured in Dateline and the New York Times, and is a member of the US Autism Association Advisory Board and the Autism Today Board of Directors. He has consulted with organizations including NYC Department of Education and Bronx Lebanon Hospital... Click Here or Click the link below for more details!
