Meet Silence to Signals

Silence to Signals™ is a course for parents of non-speaking and minimally-speaking autistic children, built by Dr. Catherine C. Acotto, PhD, CCC-SLP, from 26+ years and 50,000+ hours of direct clinical work.
It teaches you to read your child's full communication system: the signals, what behavior is communicating, and the moments your child is most ready to connect. The articles here answer the questions parents ask most.
