🌟 Spotting Joint Attention Challenges in Autism Made Easy
Joint attention is when your child shares focus with you or others. This simple skill helps them learn and build connections, which are essential for their development.
🔍 Why is Joint Attention Important?
It’s the foundation for learning and social interaction. By focusing with others, your child can pick up new skills and better understand social cues, helping them grow and connect with the world around them.
🧩 Here are two simple tips to help you identify potential issues with joint attention in daily situations:
1. Observe Engagement: Notice if your child often disengages during interactive play. Do they quickly lose interest when you’re playing together? This could be a sign of a short attention span. 🧩👀
2. Follow Their Gaze: See if your child follows your gaze or points to share interest. If they rarely make eye contact or respond to pointing, it might indicate challenges with joint attention. 👁️➡️👁️
