Joint attention is a word that you may or may not have heard before. It is defined as when two people are focusing on the same item intentionally. It can aid in communication and understanding. It can also go a long way in building relationships with your students. So, how do we use it in the special education classroom and why does it matter to us?    In this week's episode I am chatting with Rose Griffin from ABA Speech, a dual certified speech language pathologist and board certified behavior specialist, about joint attention. She not only explains what it is, but also gives examples and shares the benefits she has seen with her students. In this episode you will learn:   The benefits of joint attention. How to have open communication with parents. Examples of joint attention you can use in your classroom right now. About why baby steps towards progress are an achievement.
