Communication abilities, skills, and habits vary from one person to the next. When people have trouble communicating, the effects on their lives can be devastating. Pragmatics is communication that focuses on goal-consistent language use in social contexts. Difficulties in pragmatics are frequently seen in individuals with Autism and Social Communication Disorder. This workshop will discuss the overall umbrella term of pragmatics. This session is aligned with the Child Find and Evaluation components of the TEA-required self-assessment.
