Identify the invisible barriers: Dr. Rydell's 10 key questions for understanding how the child truly learns.

These questions are not intended as a clinical diagnosis of autism, but rather to profile the learning style within the LSP framework. Each “Yes” identifies a component that requires a specific “Game Plan.”

Key questions

Specific Game Plan

These questions help identify patterns in learning, interaction, communication, and flexibility. Each answer helps to better understand what supports can promote more spontaneous and functional participation.

Area observed Joint attention
What it helps identify

Assesses whether the child can share focus of attention with another person, or whether their response is mainly conditioned by proximity and interest in objects.

Area observed Social processing
What it helps identify

Indicates whether social learning arises naturally during interaction, or whether it mainly depends on mechanical imitation, individual cues, or previously memorized language.

Area observed Communication and focus
What it helps identify

Allows observation of whether communication is spontaneous and flexible, or dependent on learned phrases. It also helps identify the level of sustained attention needed to start, carry out, and finish an activity.

Area observed Flexibility and control
What it helps identify

Measures the ability to relinquish control, accept change, adapt to other people's pace, and take part in interactions that don't depend solely on their own interests or routines.
