This presentation will offer a viable and validated solution to remote assessment of social communication: a video-based technique that elicits responses through a set of video-based role plays of real-life situations as well as a survey that analyzes adverse educational and social impact. This is a strengths-based method that is sensitive to the higher level pragmatic skills, such as understanding of and expression of affective language, perspective taking, social-emotional and interoceptive awareness, self-advocacy, motivation and reflective self-awareness that can provide tailored assistance in fostering a positive autistic identity. This approach has been validated for telepractice.

Learning Objectives:

List remote strengths-based assessment strategies that address social-emotional, interoceptive, self-advocacy and nonverbal language areas that help generate a comprehensive and accurate pragmatic language profile
Explain remote assessment techniques that help determine adverse educational and social impact
Explain the benefits and specific guidelines of video based remote assessment and ways it has been validated for telepractice
