- The Fundamentals of Communication – why Intensive Interaction is so important.
- Principles of Intensive Interaction and how to use them with people who can speak, yet need more experience with social contact, turn-taking, eye contacts, facial expressions and non-verbal communication.
- Videos showing children and adults with autism making progress developing social and emotional connections, enjoying interactions, learning to communicate using vocalisations, facial expressions and gesture, becoming relaxed, making eye contact (and much more!).
- Integrating Intensive Interaction principles into a day where the person already has many clever performances and interests.
- Developing true conversational turn-taking, and further use of speech and chit-chat.
- Recognising outcomes and how to record-keep.
