My name is Emily Price (she/her)I'm an Autistic Speech and Language Therapist (SLT) based in Greater Manchester, UK, and Co-Founder of Divergent Perspectives; a training provider delivering workshops to professionals in  how to support Autistic children, young people, and adults. I advocate and campaign for radical changes in therapy practices for through public speaking, training, and education. I use my lived experience of being Autistic to inform my work in addition to my clinical expertise as a SLT to guide my work, makes me uniquely positioned to make a difference.I don't provide interventions based on behaviourism and the social-deficit theory of Autism; these practices are rooted in flawed theories and outdated research. As a Neurodivergent-Affirming SLT I do not provide Social Skills Training. We know that these interventions are designed to teach Autistic children to mask and perform a set of socially expected behaviours built upon neuronormative norms of attention and communication. As a Neurodivergent-Affirming SLT I focus on helping the Autistic person to advocate for themselves through their chosen method(s) of communication.   I support them to express their choices, views, boundaries, emotions, and decisions. I give the person full autonomy to select their own goals. I help them to identify their communication strengths & needs using non-pathologising language. I use a trauma-informed approach which takes into context the historic marginalisation and exclusion of Autistic people, I consider the accumulation of sensory, interpersonal, and emotional trauma, and the intersections between other struggles e.g., gender dysphoria, eating disorders, ethnicity. MY GOALSTo empower Autistic children / adults through:​ Lived experience of being Autistic Expertise of Speech, Language and Communication Advocating for reasonable adjustments / accommodations The Neurodiversity Paradigm Respecting Autistic styles of communication Accessible information Activism key Pages:FAQsWhat is autism?Autism + TraumaFollow me on Twitter / facebook:EmAIL ME: autisticslt@gmail.comServices & Fees Image by Kate JonesAutistic CommunicationAbleism in Speech and Language TherapyFonts by Lindsay Braman© 2021-24 AutisticSLT.
