Ep.16 Adopting a Strengths-based Approach to Theory of Mind - Dr Abigail Wright

September 10, 2024 Laura Chapman, Ellyn Berman-Jones and Lauren Bratton Season 4 Episode 1

This week we are joined by Dr Abigail Wright; Abi talks to us about her research which explored the individual strengths of autistic children and whether they were more likely to show 'Theory of Mind’ when tasks were adapted to the children’s unique strengths, interests and areas of support, compared to a ‘standard’ task. Abi also gives us a brief insight into the exciting early years project she is involved in.
