Eye Contact
Video Summary
Eye contact is a critical component of communication and social interactions that emerges before children develop verbal language. In this segment, Dr. Kolevzon explains the importance of eye contact and presents examples of both typically developing children and children on the autism spectrum.
"Even before children can speak they should be making eye contact as a way to socially engage."
