In this episode I'm joined by Abbie Bates talking about her daughter Harriet, who is nearly four years old and diagnosed with autism, global development delay, sensory processing disorder, and PICA. We talk about Harriet's journey to diagnosis, the differences between global development delay and learning disabilities, and the challenges of communication for non-verbal children. Abbie shares her experiences with an AAC device the importance of family support and understanding.
