"The team said that Ryan has autism. Ryan’s been working with his teachers and an SLP. He lets us know what he wants for lunch by showing us a picture and using gestures. He says a few words to tell us what he wants to play with. The other day, he said, “train” for his “Thomas the Tank Engine” book. His eyes lit up when I knew which book to grab from his shelf."

October is Autism Awareness Month in Canada
October is Autism Awareness Month in Canada, bringing our attention to children, families, and professionals whose lives are touched by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Communication and social skill problems are often noted as the first symptoms of ASD, and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are part of a team of professionals who are trained in both diagnosis and treatment.
