Best Autism Resources for

Developing Speech

Autistic children, some of them poorly or non-verbal,
often struggle to accomplish tasks of daily life that
are easy for other children.

Communication is often at the center of most difficulties
for children with autism.

Autistic children may be able to speak, repeat words
that you say to them.

But functional communication, in which you can carry
out a conversation with a child, can be hard to come by.

Being unable to communicate can be a frustrating
experience for you and your child.

Some autistic children use sign language to indicate
their wants and needs.

This may be functional when communicating with others
who know sign language but is not functional in the
community.

Alternative communication devices, such as a picture
communication system or communication board can be
helpful for some individuals.

Speech therapy can help the child develop further
communication skills.

An excellent resource to facilitate communication can
be found at www.nlconcepts.com/autism-learn-talk.htm

These communication cards can help to model conversation,
much in the way that you would model social skills for
your child.

These cards help to develop not only speech, but means
of true communication.

There are a variety of topics available.

Time spent working together on this can be beneficial to
you and your child.

This is just one of the many tricks, tips and techniques
that you can use to cope with your Autistic child’s
behaviors that feature in my new book “The Parenting
Autism Resource Guide”. Which you can learn
more about by visiting
