Meet Sylvia Diehl, autism expert

Transcript

My name is Sylvia Diehl. I worked for over 30 years at the University of South Florida teaching courses in autism and augmentative and alternative communication. And after I retired, I decided that I really wanted to focus on educating parents in evidence-based practices. And so I’m really focusing on teaching them what I taught my graduate students all those years. So that’s my present passion at this moment. Part of that is reading, because we know that reading comprehension is an area of need for children with autism.

Sylvia Diehl has a passion for educating parents of children with autism in evidence-based practices. Part of her work addresses reading comprehension, an area of need for children with autism.
