After undergoing facial reanimation surgery, Ginsburg\u2019s role was to teach him how to speak using the new muscles in his face. \u201cI just remember that was a huge turning point for me&#8230; seeing a child who wanted so badly for himself to be able to communicate and connect with his peers.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4203 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/crean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2023\/04\/jessie-ginsburg-slp3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Jessie Ginsburg Holding Baby in Sunlight\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/crean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2023\/04\/jessie-ginsburg-slp3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/crean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2023\/04\/jessie-ginsburg-slp3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/crean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2023\/04\/jessie-ginsburg-slp3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/crean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2023\/04\/jessie-ginsburg-slp3-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/crean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2023\/04\/jessie-ginsburg-slp3-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Through Chapman\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/crean\/academic-programs\/graduate-programs\/ms-communication-sciences-and-disorders\/index.aspx\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">M.S. in communication sciences and disorders program<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">, Ginsburg was able to learn from many unique learning experiences that allowed her to work directly with kids. \u201cOne thing that&#8217;s really cool about Chapman is they have some classes that not every grad program in speech therapy has,\u201d explained Ginsburg. \u201cFor example, there are lots of grad programs that don&#8217;t have an autism class, but in our program at Chapman, they had an entire course all on autism.\u201d Ginsburg specifically remembers a course she took on augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). The class hosted an AAC camp and went to schools throughout Orange County, where they were paired with students to teach communication skills using AAC. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">One of Ginsburg\u2019s professors encouraged her to start her own private practice. \u201cI called one of my past professors, Angela Mandez, and I told her about how badly I wanted to start this practice,\u201d Ginsburg shared. \u201cHer exact words were, <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">you&#8217;ve<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> got the fire, girl.

There you will find thousands of autistic people sharing content educating on autism and ways to best support autistic people. \u201cI think that\u2019s a big part of going into Autism Acceptance Month is really trying to amplify the voices of the autistic community.
