When a child isn’t talking yet
It’s easy to focus on what’s missing
Most of us were trained to plan therapy — or to parent — by focusing on what a child can’t do yet. But for many autistic toddlers
and preschoolers, that approach can make every interaction feel frustrating, for you and for them.
You’ve had evaluations, but you’re still not sure where to actually start.
Therapy or playtime feels like a constant search for “what works.”
You know this child is capable — you just need a clearer way to see it.
The truth is — progress becomes much easier when you start with what a child can already do.
What’s inside
A simple checklist. A clear starting point.
The Autistic Strengths Survey is a printable 2-page checklist that helps you identify a child’s strengths and use them to support
communication and interaction — whether you’re a parent at home or a professional in a therapy session.
Who it’s for
Built for anyone supporting an autistic child
“You don’t need to ‘fix’ a child to help them communicate.
You need to understand what’s already working.”
— Laura Mize, M.S., CCC-SLP
