Language Intervention for School Aged Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Register Now
Registration will open in a new window.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) profoundly affects speech, language and communication. Key characteristics include limited attention to speech, deficits in joint attention, reduced communicative intent, failure to compensate for lack of language and deficits in imitative skills.  Intervention with a Speech Language Pathologist for school aged individuals with ASD can range from highly structured to a naturalistic approach, but must target all aspects of communication in order to provide better outcomes and an optimal degree of independence.

This presentation will describe the development of initial communicative behaviors as well as examine techniques to promote successful communication within the classroom. Methods of teaching, various assessment tools and augmentative/alternative communication (AAC) will also be discussed.

 

Learner Objectives:

  1. Describe the development of initial communicative behaviors that lead to the emergence of language.
  2. Identify key characteristics of students with ASD that impact communication.
  3. Identify the role of the Speech-Language Pathologist in respect to assessment and program implementation.
  4. Describe methods of instruction to facilitate speech, language and communication skill acquisition for school-aged students.
  5. Discuss individualized aspects of augmentative/alternative communication (AAC).
