@FrontPsychol @rapportbased @delafieldbutt 🔁 Rhythmic Relating serves as a foundation for interaction & learning for school/healthcare staff, aiding in tailoring shared social meaning for autistic clients. Develop Rhythmic Relating skills with bite-sized levels, clear instructions & video demos of skills in action! 🙌

[Laboratory for Innovation in Autism @strathautismlab]

⭐PUBLICATION⭐ "A handbook for Rhythmic Relating in autism: Supporting social timing in play, learning and therapy" is now in print @FrontPsychol (https://t.co/ijc7d4S6wW). A brilliant resource for therapists and practitioners by Stuart Daniel, @rapportbased & @delafieldbutt! 🎶
