Does your child echo everything you say—but struggle to express their own thoughts?

In this episode of Non Linear Learning, Dr. Vaish Sarathy tackles one of the most misunderstood differences in developmental education: the gap between speech and language—and why recognizing this difference can completely shift how you teach your autistic child.

You'll learn:

  • How speech apraxia and motor planning issues can mask true intelligence

  • Why "presuming competence" often means "presuming apraxia"

  • A powerful mindset shift that could change everything for your child's learning journey
