Any recs for resources a mother who is feeling helpless about her 18yo non-speaking son?
I won't personally be treating this patient, but the mother is incredibly sweet and willing to do whatever she can for her son. He's in speech therapy, but mom says they want to discharge him because he's not making progress and they've tried everything. He doesn't use any words, doesn't point, and hasn't been successful with things like PECs or an AAC device in the past. He is autistic. If anyone has an article or resource they find inspiring or helpful for this population, I'd love to share it with her. Thank you!
