Joint attention (the JA in JASPER), is the coordination of attention between objects and people for the purpose of sharing. JASPER studies show that children with ASD use more joint attention skills when they are modeled and taught directly.

There are multiple ways to coordinate joint attention with others.

1. Pointing to share. This would look like a child pointing at an object in order to draw another persons attention to that object. For example, when a child points to an airplane in the sky and says “airplane!”. ✈️
2. Giving to share. This might look like a child giving you a “bite” of their pretend ice cream cone! 🍦
3. Showing to share. An example of this joint attention action would be when a child brings their drawing over to another person and holds the picture out in front of them. 🖍️

If you’re looking for ways to help promote joint attention skills with your little one, send us a DM! We would love to chat!

✨NEW EVIDENCE-BASED
EARLY INTERVENTION AUTISM TREATMENT
COMING TO THE PORTLAND METRO AREA!✨

JASPER (Joint Attention, Symbolic Play, Engagement, and Regulation) is a play-based
treatment approached based on a combination of developmental and behavioral principles
developed by Dr. Connie Kasari at UCLA. It targets the foundations of social communication (joint attention, imitation, play) and uses naturalistic strategies to increase the rate and complexity of social communication.

We can't wait to bring this new naturalistic, child-led intervention for autism to the Portland area and are so excited to offer Portland's first ever JASPER clinic! Visit our website today for more information and to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation!
