Welcome The All About Kids Podcast brought to you by All About Kids, the leading provider of children’s therapeutic and educational services in New York. This time I sit down with Kathy Obrien. Kathy is a speech language pathologist with a background in psychology, Special Education, communication sciences, and ABA. On this episode, Kathy discusses how she got involved in working with children with autism, what “theory of mind is” and what makes it so important, the concept of joint attention, how role playing plays a role in language development, the interplay of emotions and perception, exercises to help children with autism develop better social skills and more. We were extremely lucky to have Kathy on the podcast, she is so good at what she does and such a knowledgeable source on communication and working with children with autism. Without further ado, please enjoy this deep diving, wide ranging conversation with Kathy Obrien.
