Enabling Communication in Children with Autism

Details

The authors in this informative resource on Autism show that communication in children with autism can be significantly affected by a range of social and environmental influences. As well as providing an overview of the theoretical issues involved, detailed practical advice is also offered. Key elements of the recommended approach include:

• the use of minimal speech
• proximal communication
• the use of appropriate systems of communication including multi-pointing
• providing many and varied opportunities for communication.
• arguing that encouraging spontaneous communication should be viewed as a major educational goal for these children
• this book demonstrates that these children can and do communicate in enabling environments and provide practical, proven strategies for creating such environments.
