Understanding Echolalia in Autism and How to Support Your Adult Child

Echolalia is one of the most common communication traits in autism. At JoyDew, we don't treat it as a problem, we build on it as a bridge to meaningful expression.

Approach

Joy Dew's Methodology for developing the talent pool follows a simple, yet highly effective methodology for assessing the strengths and support needs of each individual. Member's interests, strengths and skill levels are determined, and then a highly personalized plan is developed to help them develop their career path. Members explore a variety of skills and receive educational enrichment, as well as basic education, job-specific and social skill training. Once they are deemed ready for employment they train more specifically for the job(s) they are interested in. They are then employed by the organization as part of a team to work on various projects for clients. As they complete projects, the process is repeated and refined as the member becomes more proficient at the work. Click on the boxes to learn more.
