This event may be the most fun you can have at a Professional Development workshop. Autism Improvised is presenting an immersive and interactive presentation led by author, educator, and communication expert Dr. Robert Domingo, SLP from Long Island University, N.Y.
Discover how improv techniques can improve social communication, cognitive flexibility, and engagement for neurodivergent individuals of all ages - presented from the perspective of a recognized expert in speech-language pathology and theater - with application across disciplines,
This workshop helps the people you work with in two ways. Pick the one that fits you, or use both.
If you plan to bring improv into your practice or classroom directly: You'll leave with concrete, ready-to-use activities for building social engagement, spontaneous language, perspective-taking, and cognitive flexibility in neurodivergent clients and students - techniques you can put to work right away.
If you'll never run a single improv game: The training itself changes how you show up in every session, lesson, or interaction. You're not learning improv for its own sake. You're using it as the method to build skills you'll rely on in every interaction, whether "improv" ever comes up again or not.
What's included with your registration:
-
An immersive morning in a class of neurodivergent young adults where you can experience the improv approach, followed by debriefing over lunch. The afternoon will be Dr. Domingo's interactive presentation of the benefits an improv-informed approach can have in your interactions with clients, students, and even casually.

About our guest presenter, Robert A Domingo, PhD, SLP
Bob Domingo, Ph.D., has extensive experience working with diverse populations, including those with autism, developmental disabilities, and neurogenic speech-language disorders. As faculty member at Long Island University, past chair of his department and former president of his professional association in speech and language, he now focuses on the use of improvisation and performance arts to enhance social pragmatic communication skills.
Dr. D uniquely combines his expertise in speech-language pathology with his passion for singing, acting, and directing to help individuals develop verbal and non-verbal communication for meaningful connections.
An SLP and author of The Improv Playbook for Autism and Diverse Communication Styles, (Routledge Publishing, 2026), his innovative approach integrates knowledge of verbal and nonverbal communication with theatrical techniques and creativity combined, to create a powerful methodology for enhancing social communication skills. This unique approach transforms traditional approaches to autism and communication support, empowering you to create breakthrough moments of connection and growth from the first class or session.
