INTRODUCTORY & INTERVENTION WORKSHOP What can the Reference and Regulate program do for a child with ASD? Everyone on the planet wants to be seen and heard, but how do you see and hear a child with autism? This workshop will help you see what is going on inside the child, under their confusing and often, challenging behaviours. As you develop your understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder and how that affects a child, you can come alongside them in new ways. When you begin to relate to them, at their level of development, you can help them grow into the next stage, and the next. We have seen children with ASD grow in ways that you might not be able to imagine…but ways that we have seen. We will introduce you to that vision. This theory has been verified by extremely positive outcomes for our clients through our current research projects.

Presenter David Loyst has a master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology and over 20 years of experience practicing in hospitals, child development centres, childcare centres, schools and home-based intensive intervention programs. He has training and clinical experience in several autism intervention approaches including Traditional/Lovaas ABA, Floortime/DIR, Verbal Behaviour (Introductory and Advanced workshops), SCERTS, and Relationship Development Intervention (RDI® - Introductory workshop and Beginning Seminar). Based on research and clinical practice he created Reference and Regulate®, a developmental, play based intervention program. Loyst and Associates Autism Services Inc. has provided consulting and intensive intervention services to hundreds of families in Vancouver and on Vancouver Island since they began in 2001. In 2009, Loyst and Associates were honoured with an award from the BC Centre for Ability for their work. Since developing R&R®, Mr. Loyst has presented dozens of workshops for professionals and families to great acclaim. His presentations at the 2008 British Columbia Speech Language Pathologists Annual Conference and the 2010 and 2014 Speech-Language and Audiology Canada Annual Conference, have led to workshops, consultations and pilot projects with preschool and school aged children with ASD across Canada.
Audience This workshop is suitable for parents, speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, supported childcare consultants, infant development consultants, social workers, administrators, teachers, educational assistants and childcare workers supporting children with autism.
