JOINT ATTENTION FACTSHEET
Joint attention is when two people intentionally focus on the same thing for social reasons. Foundational for a child to learn language and social skills, opportunities to teach joint attention skills occur in the home, school, and the community. Teaching a young child through natural opportunities during the day is a great way to ensure skills are generalized and transferred to other settings.
For Parents
Raising a child diagnosed with ASD can be confusing and overwhelming. Many times, parents and family members struggle to understand the diagnosis, how to support their child's success, and how to problem-solve through challenges. Information from our seminars, webcasts, and online courses can help families and caregivers understand more about appropriate interventions and strategies to help their child.
For Educators
Special education teachers, related services personnel, general education teachers, and other educators are very important in supporting students with ASD to be successful! VCU-ACE has created many resources, tools, and training opportunities with you in mind.
