Confronting Ableism and Resulting Attitudes in School-based Autism Evaluations

SLPs play a critical role in autism diagnosis. Many settings, including schools, use a medical model of disability with a
neurotypical lens. This model leads to deficit-based language when describing behaviors characteristic of autism that may
contribute to clients and their families viewing autism negatively. This presentation provides pro-neurodiverse alternatives.
