Are you the parent or teacher of a child that communicates with echolalia or scripting? For decades, echolalia has been incorrectly viewed as something that needs to be extinguished. We now know that echolalia is a powerful and positive indicator of language development. Come learn how you can support your learner on their journey towards self-generated language.

Date: September 15th,  2022

Time: 6 - 7:30 PM CST (7 - 8:30PM EST)

Where: Online

Presenter


Libby Miller M.Ed., CCC-SLP, is a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist, in Nashville, TN. Libby grew up in North Carolina and attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for her bachelor’s degree in linguistics and communication studies. While at UNC, she became deeply invested in the autism community, which led her to pursue a master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Virginia. Upon completing this program in 2018, Libby moved to Nashville and began working for a private practice that specialized in autism. Libby is passionate about using a child’s strengths to help them become a stronger and more effective communicator.
