Abstract
This study will analyze twenty-five comprehensive voices of individuals, families, and school teams (n=25) in the autism community. Through the process of inter-rater validation via investigator triangulation, field notes of interview transcripts will be circulated and analyzed. Reoccurring themes and elements will be established and stratified via thematic analysis. The aim of this validation will highlight the ableist approaches to language treatment practices and challenge our current trends of inquiry into language intervention. This process will also introduce the value of participatory action research as well as the emancipatory inquiry of DisCrit (Disability Studies and Critical Studies) to promote neurodiversity through the lens of the social model of disability.
