Physical presence in the classroom alone is not inclusion. Meaningful inclusion happens when the environment adapts so that the child truly belongs, have access to communication and actively participate.

Speech delay can have several contributing factors, and autism is only one possibility. Rather than making assumptions, letās assess each child individually and understand their unique communication needsš
Early identification and right support can make meaningful difference.

Please know that YOUR CHILDāS SPEECH DELAY HAS NEVER BEEN YOUR FAULTš. Language development is influenced by many factors and being delayed doesnāt mean have failed as a parent. What matters now is understanding your childās communication needs and giving them right support.

It is normal if they are doing it functionally, observe is what they are saying related to the activity they are doing? Are they responsive when called or transition easily to another activity? When does it happen (excited, anxious or overstimulated) and more. A lot to observe!

The speech therapist is not āJust Playingā
Speech therapy for children is not just about playing.
When a caregiver attends or peeps in the session room, one often sees a child playing with toys
But what he/ she does not see is the clinical reasoning behind every activity

In pediatric speech therapy play is not a break from therapy, it is the therapy. Children learn best when they are engaged, motivated, and having fun. Therapy that feels enjoyable encourages participation, reduces anxiety, and creates meaningful opportunities to learn.

Today I visited @LifeLink256 Hospital in Ntinda. I knew someone there who knows sign language, so I had hope that communication would be easier.
When it was time to see the doctor.. I went alone, he started speaking (with masks on), so I signed that I am Deaf. To my surprise, he responded in sign language š I was shocked and happy at the same time. I immediately felt more relaxed because communication wouldn't be so difficult.
His sign language is still basic and he's still learning, but he signed things like "abdominal pain" and "headache." For the signs he didn't know, I taught him a few. It became a two-way learning experience.
It reminded me that healthcare workers don't have to be fluent in sign language to make a difference. Learning even the basics can help Deaf patients feel seen, respected, and included. Small efforts can have a big impact.
A big thank you to the doctor for making the effort to learn sign language. It may seem like a small step, but it made a big difference to my experience today. šš½
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that anything a woman does during pregnancy directly causes autism. Most of them are risk factors ie not attending antenatal, exposure to environmental toxins, alcoholism, smoking during pregnancy etc
