We presume competence regardless of motor and regulation difficulties. \n\nSpeech should not be an indicator of intelligence. All individuals are unique, have their own personalities, preferences and voices. \n\nThe Hub\u2019s supposition in this regard is that Autism should be viewed as a neurological condition that affects sensory and motor development and that intellectual and cognitive ability should not be questioned. Methods in tutoring and assessment are multi-tiered, and take the body-mind disconnect into account. \n\nPresuming competence throughout all interactions with individuals ensures that tutoring on an age-appropriate level takes place. As motor skills improve, assessment of cognitive abilities (not motor) can then be achieved. \n\nAutistics, just like neurotypical individuals, learn best when valued, and will excel when challenged and supported.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Little More About Us THE SISU HUB Speaking a new language, making a new world. \u201cNon-speaking does not equal non thinking.\u201d Sisu \u2013 The word Sisu expresses itself by taking action in life, displaying courage and determination, enabling extraordinary action to overcome mentally or physically challenging situations.
