Rather it focuses on the child’s “signature strengths,” those 50 Communicating Partners skills and interests the child currently expresses when he is in supportive environments. This is not to say that every autistic child can do anything, but we have found a great many far exceed the predictions of highly trained professionals. Consequently, the ultimate goal of CP is for children to have communicative relationships and continue to develop social, cognitive, and adaptive abilities in those relationships.
Our work suggests that when the goal is to help children socialize and communicate, the physical context for learning must actively support that learning. In most traditional settings, children are rarely free to socialize and communicate spontaneously and the adults rarely respond to the child’s natural social and communicative behavior in supportive ways. Rather, there is usually an external curriculum that dictates what and when the child should interact and communicate. The CP model finds that children learn best to socialize and communicate in spontaneous one-to-one relationships in which they have at least half the 48 Communicating Partners control of the activity.
Few educational and therapeutic approaches address the developmental needs of both partners in a relationship. However, the late-talking child’s task in learning to socialize is much more like the task in marriage therapy or other efforts to address relationships. Few marriages in crisis will be genuinely repaired unless both partners exert effort that relates to the other partner’s concerns, abilities, and efforts. Similarly children with autism and other developmental delays need to have stable and responsive relationships if they are going to learn how to learn in the world at large.
